For the eighth time in a row, FC Bayern Munich is shooting a game
In the end, FC Bayern Munich clearly wins against Mainz 05. The record champions are behind for the eighth time in a row, something that has never happened to the Munich team before in their BL history.
Lothar Matthäus criticizes the team composition of FC Bayern. The record champions have a world-class squad, but they lack the necessary depth. In spring this could cause problems.
When hardly any player from the front row has been injured for a long time, FC Bayern is the favorite for all titles for record international player Lothar Matthäus again this season. But the record national player still criticizes the record champions.
“But it becomes problematic if top performers are absent for a longer period in the spring. Then there is not enough adequate replacement ”, wrote Matthäus in his column on the TV station Sky.

Most recently, Joshua Kimmich returned against Mainz 05 after his knee injury. For Kimmich, it was the first starting line-up since Bayern’s away win in Dortmund at the beginning of November in which the midfielder injured his meniscus. In the same game, however, Serge Gnabry injured his shin.
Matthew sees a clear gradient
Basically, the 14 top players that coach Hansi Flick has at their disposal have won the triple, according to Matthäus. “What comes after that is not as qualitative in terms of breadth as the Borussia Dortmund or RB Leipzig banks,” added the 59-year-old.
That is not necessarily to be understood negatively. “I only notice that they have an absolutely world-class squad this season as well, which however drops significantly from number 15.”
In the summer, the Munich team strengthened with Leroy Sané, among others. So far, the winger has not really made it to Bayern. His teammate Kingsley Coman encourages understanding.
Coman takes Sané under protection
“Leroy is very good, we play differently from City, he will only completely internalize our DNA. It’s not a matter of a few days, ”said the 24-year-old Frenchman of“ Sport Bild ”. Coman himself is about to make a comeback after his injury.

“We’re four for two positions, we’re team-mates, but of course we all want to play as much as possible. At the moment I’m in a good mood, but maybe that will change in two months. Maybe then Leroy, Serge (Gnabry) or Douglas (Costa) will play. It is important that at least two of us are always in top form. “
