10. Minute: Mané starts the goal party after a fine one-two with Goretzka. 1:0!
14. Minute: Only 3:27 minutes later, Sané Coman sends the ball to the left. Müller turned his cross into the middle to make it 2-0.
25. Minute: After a Müller pass, Goretzka is allowed to accept the ball 16 meters from the goal and push it into the right corner. 3:0!

Bayern is shooting through Europe – but there are concerns about Thomas Müller (33).
In the 22nd minute, the international goes to the sidelines to Julian Nagelsmann (35) and speaks briefly to the coach. After the template to 3: 0, Müller indicates that he needs to be replaced, goes with team doctor team doctor Dr. Jochen Hahne and Physio Christian Huhn went straight to the locker room. Actually, Müller should play 45 minutes after his corona infection to get the rhythm for the important game against Freiburg (Sunday).
What has happened there?
Shortly before Bayern’s first goal, Pilsen’s Jemelka Müller kicks his legs from behind. The international writhes on the ground, holding his foot. It is possible that he will injure himself.
Nagelsmann: “The muscles in the back have contracted a bit, probably something on the nerve. But it’s nothing dramatic, no risk for the weekend. We didn’t want to take any risks.”
Müller explained after the game: “It’s nothing bad from my point of view. It looks like a nerve thing. The old back.” Is he ready for the Freiburg game? “I hope so, of course. I’ll use the time and see what’s up. Don’t assume anything bad.”
Even without Müller, one thing is clear: The Czechs are hopelessly overwhelmed, often don’t defend at all and mostly catastrophically. Bayern uses this mercilessly. In the second half Bayern slowed down and were penalized 4-1 (Vlkanova/62nd) and 4-2 (Kliment/75th).
Nagelsmann: “The end was very nice for Pilsen, not so much for us… I think we could win both halves.”
Sven Ulreich (34), who replaces Manuel Neuer (36, shoulder): “We played a great first half. We didn’t do much in the second half. It’s bitter because we’ve decided to keep a clean sheet. That was really unnecessary.”
It’s still a win and a place in the round of 16! And there’s a record on top: Eleven Champions League victories in a row has not yet been achieved by a team! In addition, Bayern is expanding the record of 32 unbeaten group games.
Goretzka: “Of course it annoys me that we conceded two more goals – we should have learned from the last few games. Otherwise it was very concentrated today. It’s a night to look at the positive things.”
