Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show: Bayern Munich 4-0 Eintracht Frankfurt (Bundesliga)
Bayern Munich came away with a performance that had the Allianz Arena singing against a team that causes them problems regularly, Eintracht Frankfurt. The Bayern performance nonetheless left far more questions than answers; if Vincent Kompany can set his team up to play with such fluency (with Thomas Müller in the side), why does he not do so? Does Harry Kane slow Bayern down? Bayern nonetheless maintained their eight point gap at the top and the Bundesliga title race seems all but mathematically decided. In this podcast, we look at:The lineups of both sides and what they looked like on the pitch.Some mouthwatering combinations across the pitch from BayernWhat was Eintracht Frankfurt missing today?The nature of Bayern’s goals against FrankfurtWas the introduction of Harry Kane really necessary?Has Bayern already won the Bundesliga?
