A great team never loses twice. Spanked 4-2 last week by promoted Bochum, Bayern Munich recovered by dominating bottom-runner Greuther Fürth this afternoon with a score of 4-1. to win thanks to the achievements of Robert Lewandowski (45th and 81st), Sebastian Griesbeck (60th CSC) and Eric Choupo-Moting (90th).
Stunned by the slap received last weekend against promoted Bochum, Bayern failed in the middle of the week against the yet takeable Red Bull Salzburg (1-1) in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. Slowed down in his plans for qualifying for the C1 quarter-finals, the German champion had to react this afternoon when he received the last of the Greuther Fürth class. The mission is fulfilled, but it was hard for the men of Julian Nagelsmann. Deprived of their goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (knee) or Kingsley Coman (muscle discomfort), Bayern took half time before really getting into their match.

Led at the break despite a largely favorable possession of the ball (71%), the reigning German champion then took the bull by the horns. Launched into play as soon as he returned from the locker room in place of a very messy Omar Richards, former Parisian Éric Choupo-Moting put Bayern back in the direction of travel on their first real situation, his subtle deviation from a cross in the Serge Gnabry’s line allowing the inevitable Robert Lewandowski to crucify Andreas Linde at close range (45th). Back up (1-1) to their opponent in just 35 seconds, Bayern would only need fifteen more minutes to completely reverse the improbable scenario of this match.
