With BVB imploding in the Champions League but showing no sign of it domestically, Bayern Munich needs to keep winning to remain at the top of the Bundesliga ahead of the final international break of the regular season.
However, with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s mysterious back injury, it will be difficult for Julian Nagelsmann to maintain the momentum he has laboriously built over the past few weeks of footballing.
Bayer Leverkusen enjoyed a solid comeback under Xabi Alonso and with players like Florian Wirtz in the squad can beat anyone in his time. FC Bayern must be aware of the threat posed by the Werkself and react accordingly.
Sadio Mane is the top candidate to succeed the striker, along with Thomas Muller, Jamal Musiala, and possibly Joao Cancelo in Nagelsmann’s new trio.
It should be a fun game – goals are almost guaranteed.
It’s Bayern’s time.
