The Polish striker scored a hat-trick in 11 minutes to put on track a beating of Salzburg that puts Bayern in the quarterfinals and is very scary.
Bayern Munich is the great team right now
It’s what happens to the greats. It does not matter that they are not going through their best football moment. Nor that the seams continue to be seen in his defense. When he has to be, he is. Especially his center forward, Lewandowski, who, by the way, is still not renewed. Three goals from the Pole in the first half, the fastest hat-trick in the history of the Champions League, put the return on track against a Salzburg that was lost in unnecessary errors, succumbed and went home after the beating that meant a 7-1 end. Although he continues to concede more than necessary, the Bundesliga champion (Lewy, above all) seems to have returned to normal.
Nagelsmann’s risky strategy
Nagelsmann is risky and his eleven against the Austrians confirmed it once again. The Munich coach opted for a line of three backs and a total of five attackers plus the always offensive Musiala in the double pivot along with Kimmich. Many spaces behind that invited Jaissle to run. He could go wrong. But he was fabulous. And the great fault was Wöber. Just when his team managed to take advantage of two losses to stand alone against Neuer, the former Sevilla player committed two penalties on Lewandowski that the Pole, as always, did not forgive. Jaissle’s nerves got to him. And Bayern smelled blood. Once again Lewandowski, this time to a pass from Müller, and Gnabry with his right hand raised the poker before going through the changing rooms. The Bavarian roller is back.
