The 1-4 defeat in Barcelona was Bayern Munich’s second defeat in the Champions League. They reduced their enthusiasm after the spectacular victory against Dinamo Zagreb. Later, Bayern suffered losses to Aston Villa and FC Barcelona. Four days after the defeat in Catalonia, Vincent Kompany’s players went to Bochum. The leader’s opponent is in last place in the Bundesliga table with a point.
On Sunday, Bayern had no problem securing their sixth victory in the eighth match of the Bundesliga season. What’s more, it was impressive, because the team from Munich demolished their opponent 5-0. In the 16th minute, Michael Olise scored a goal with a technical free kick. Jamal Musiala’s 2-0 goal in the 26th minute also came from a set piece. He headed the ball after Joshua Kimmich’s free kick.
In the second half, Bayern was even more effective. In the 58th minute, a quick action by the guests ended with a shot under the crossbar by Harry Kane. Leroy Sane’s goal in the 65th minute was very impressive, as he shot the ball into the window from outside the penalty area. Kingsley Coman also competed for the best goal of the match, scoring a shot off Patrick Drewes’s collar from the sixteen-yard line in the 71st minute.

Bayern Munich’s Dominance: A 5-0 Triumph Over Bochum
Well, well, well! If you thought the 1-4 defeat against Barcelona was going to dent Bayern Munich’s spirit, think again! After having a bit of a wobble in the Champions League—let’s say it was less a wobble and more a spectacular nose-dive—the Bayern juggernaut roared back with a vengeance in the Bundesliga. Honestly, it’s like watching a Ferrari hit a speed bump; it may slow down briefly, but it’s never really in danger of breaking down.
Just four days after that game in Catalonia, Bayern Munich rebounded like a rubber ball, or rather, like a kid who’s just been told there’s cake at a birthday party! They stormed onto the pitch against VfL Bochum, who, let’s face it, were about as prepared as a cat at a dog show. Poor Bochum are clinging to the bottom of the Bundesliga table with just a solitary point—seriously, if they were trying to attract sympathy, it’s not working!
Sunday’s match was anything but a thriller. Bayern Munich secured their sixth victory in their last eight Bundesliga matches, and folks, it wasn’t a simply win; it was more like an ‘educational experience’ for Bochum. A 5-0 demolition—what’s that, you ask? Oh, that’s just Bayern reminding everyone else in the league that they are, indeed, quite good at football.
Goals Galore!
In the 16th minute, Michael Olise lit the fuse with a technical free kick to put Bayern on the scoreboard. Then, Jamal Musiala, clearly not one to be upstaged, doubled the lead in the 26th minute with a header that came straight off the training ground—let’s hope Bochum’s defenders weren’t on an extended coffee break!
The second half was like a masterclass in finishing. Harry Kane—the man of the hour—showed everyone why he’s more efficient than a Swiss watch with a beautiful shot under the crossbar in the 58th minute. Leroy Sane cranked up the entertainment with a sizzling goal from outside the box that made Patrick Drewes start questioning his life choices. And let’s not forget Kingsley Coman, who decided to cap things off by snapping his shot off Drewes’s collar—because why not? If you’re going to score, you might as well do it with style!
Statistics Don’t Lie
After a match devoid of any real competition, Bayern sits comfortably at the top of the Bundesliga table—unbeaten, of course—with a grand total of 29 goals in just eight matches! That’s right, they could probably put on a scoring clinic for novices, and it would look like a fun day out in the park. RB Leipzig had better step up their game, or at this rate, they’ll be playing catch-up like a kid on a tricycle.
