Bochum Historically good and ruthless: Bayern Munich risks playing the next solo at the top of the table. The record-breaking champions easily won 7-0 at VfL Bochum and are in better shape after three matches than any other Bundesliga team before.
After their impressive performance, the Bayern Munich stars jumped exuberantly in front of the crowd of red and white fans. It was joked, Sadio Mane and Matthijs de Ligt hugged: Then everything went back to normal. The 7: 0 (4: 0) of historically overwhelmed VfL Bochum after just three games means that the permanent ruler can expect another solo for the title – this is also indicated by the weakness of the alleged challengers from Dortmund, Leipzig or Leverkusen.

“I’m very proud of our team again. We have to keep playing like this,” Kingsley Coman told the DAZN, almost threatening. “We are 100 percent, yes, but this season will be long. We always have to give it our all.” Simon Zoller from Bochum said soberly: “You took our ass off. It was fantastic.”

6-1 in Frankfurt, 2-0 against Wolfsburg, 7-0 in Bochum: after three matches, Bayern have nine points and 15-1 goals like no other Bundesliga club before. “We do not set limits, now we are trying to bring consistency,” said coach Julian Nagelsmann, and he is excited about the “energy of the team. It was not always like this last season”.
–
On Sunday, players who have not had an easy life recently also entered the list of scorers: the much-criticized international Leroy Sane (4th), de Ligt, who was appointed new head of defense on his debut in eleven starters (25th) , and Coman, who returned after a red disqualification (33rd). Also, added star Mane (42nd, 60th / penalty) hit twice. Serge Gnabry was also allowed to play (76th). Cristian Gamboa (69th) also scored an own goal, it was Bochum’s heaviest defeat in the Bundesliga.
–
Nagelsmann was forced to change his starting XI for the first time this season. Previously outstanding Jamal Musiala had to pass, as did Alphonso Davies, Gnabry moved to the bench. For this, de Ligt was allowed to play from the start for the first time.
–
Sane started the opening lead and finished hard in the corner of the goal. Sane was now full of enthusiasm, five minutes later he shot hard and positioned from 25 meters, VfL goalkeeper Manuel Riemann deflected the shot around the post. Bochum responded as best they could: Bochum captain Anthony Losilla had a free-throw range in the 23rd minute, but he clearly missed.
–
On the other hand, Riemann misses a corner and de Ligt thanks him at the far post. For VfL it was the fourth goal immediately after a corner in the third game.
–
With 26,000 spectators, things went almost automatically for Bayern. At 0: 3 Gamboa is the godfather, Thomas Müller follows, Coman dusts off. Who was still missing? mane! At 40 ‘he only scored by a few centimeters, but with his hand he maneuvered the ball over the line. Shortly thereafter, the Senegalese completed the match according to the rules after a fantastic pass from Coman.
–
After the team change, FC Bayern took a step back, as they did in the 6-1 win in Frankfurt, but little has changed in terms of dominance. Bochum could have lost even more.
