Match Awards from Bayern Munich 4-0 steamrolling of Club Brugge

Bayern Munich demolished Membership Brugge in a match that rapidly obtained to easy crusing for the unstoppable Bavarians. 17-year-old Lennart Karl obtained the scoring stepping into beneath 5 minutes and Harry Kane doubled the benefit by the fifteenth…and the rout was on.

Right here’s who stood out from the end result.

Jersey Swap: Nordin Jackers

13 photographs on the right track and “solely” 4 targets. That’s a stable day on the workplace for the Membership Brugge goalkeeper within the midst of a workforce shellacking. Little question about it — Brugge was overpowered and overrun from the off. Jackers was known as to motion time and time once more and the 28-year-old wanted to be sensible together with his choices to disclaim Bayern’s massive weapons of their 1-v-1 alternatives. He wasn’t alone in preserving the scoresheet cleaner than it may have been as his protection made a clearance or two off the road.

All in all it was simply that sort of day. The Belgian facet had their forays when on the ball, and really notched a formidable 94% go accuracy. However they have been actually by no means near stepping into the sport.

Brugge was not utterly helpless and took their photographs down the sector to attempt to get something going in opposition to the Bavarians. One event within the first half appeared near coming off as a Brugge attacker discovered his approach 1-on-1 in opposition to the final man — however that man was Jonathan Tah, who stayed alert and nicked the ball away in a superb piece of defending.

Tah is fquickly rising into his function as a key starter in Kompany’s XI regardless of solely shifting to the membership this summer time. This one charges as one of many Germany worldwide’s finest matches.

Soccer god: Konrad Laimer

We’re going to go unconventional immediately. Each Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović had wonderful video games within the Bayern pivot — key passes, probability creation, always being on the ball and influencing the sport, and pin-point lengthy balls from each of them. What Laimer did was notch two assists whereas being everywhere in the subject, because the transformed midfielder-turned-right-back-turned-left-back. Julian Nagelsmann’s urgent machine has develop into Vincent Kompany’s key man. He’s not fairly within the engine room that’s the Bayern midfield, not less than not nominally, however mein Gott, he’s in every single place.

Take a bow, child! The teen obtained the official UEFA MOTM honors on his Champions League XI debut and confirmed from the opening whistle that he was not overawed by the event. If there’s one factor that defines Karl’s sport, as we’ve seen all preseason, it’s moxie. Karl will not be shy in any respect to attempt one thing, and so when he obtained central from Jonathan Tah within the fifth minute, he handed up all his passing choices to jink and juke by means of the congested central areas of the Membership Brugge protection earlier than ripping one from vary. Ridiculously audacious — and it went in!

That self-belief will serve him properly and it ought to undoubtedly earn him an increasing number of possibilities to play this season. Karl spent the remainder of the sport dancing throughout Membership Brugge, side-stepping, step-overing, step-overing once more…in addition to exhibiting some composure in retaining possession and spreading it round to his attacking teammates. Oh, and monitoring again and making energetic defensive interventions.

He’s a pleasure to look at and Bayern is fortunate to have the ability to see much more of this quickly.

Meister of the Match: Luis Díaz

Díaz was a pressure to be reckoned with immediately up and down the left flank. His scorcher of a purpose within the thirty fourth minute sealed the sport — in case there have been any doubts nonetheless by then — and it wasn’t his first good alternative to hit paydirt. However scoresheet apart, the Colombian winger was inflicting issues. On Bayern’s fourth and remaining purpose he confirmed that Harry Kane isn’t the one Bayern attacker who can work magic from deep, launching the cross-field swap to unleash Konrad Laimer en path to Nicolas Jackson’s clincher. Díaz was unfortunate to not have not less than one help from this one too.

It was 81 minutes of relentless power from Bayern’s greatest summer time signing, and Lucho appeared to solely get stronger as the sport wore on. He deservingly leads the best way in our awards tonight.

And the way about that hit, by the best way? Tight angle, 0.05 xG per Sofascore. Stupendous strike.
