A ruthless Bayern Munich continued their hot form in a comfortable 5-0 win over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich extended their perfect Bundesliga start when Michael Olise scored two goals and set up two more to give them a 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen in a one-sided contest at the Weserstadion on Saturday. Bayern, who have scored 20 goals in three matches across all competitions, opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when Harry Kane played in Olise, before the French winger turned provider to set up Jamal Musiala.

Vincent Kompany's side continued their onslaught after the break and Olise teed up Kane for a goal from the edge of the box, before netting the fourth with a delightful side-footed effort into the top corner. Substitute Serge Gnabry wrapped up the scoring in the 65th minute as league leaders Bayern ran out comfortable winners to move on to 12 points from four matches.

Michael Olise's Masterclass

Michael Olise was the star of the show, putting on a masterclass of attacking brilliance. His two goals and two assists were the highlight of the match, but his overall performance was equally impressive. He was a constant threat throughout the game, and he looked like he was playing on a different level than the rest of the players on the pitch.

His first goal was a well-taken finish from close range, but it was his second goal that was truly special. He received the ball on the edge of the box, cut inside past a defender, and then unleashed a powerful shot that found the back of the net. He also set up two goals for Harry Kane with clever passes. His first assist was a well-placed through ball that Kane slotted home, and his second assist was a perfect cross that Kane headed into the net.

Bayern's Dominant Performance

Bayern Munich's performance was nothing short of dominant. They controlled the game from start to finish, and they created countless chances. They looked like they were unstoppable, and Werder Bremen had no answer for their attacking firepower.

Bayern’s dominance was evident from the very beginning. They pressed Werder Bremen high up the pitch, and they forced turnovers in dangerous areas. They moved the ball quickly and fluidly, and they created numerous chances. Olise was the standout performer, but he was far from the only Bayern player who played well. Harry Kane was also impressive, scoring a goal and providing an assist. He was a constant threat to the Werder Bremen defense.

Kompany's Tactics and Kimmich's Versatility

Joshua Kimmich has played in the heart of Bayern Munich’s midfield, making the switch from right-back, for the past 4-5 years. In the twilight of Thomas Tuchel’s era, Kimmich was “bullied” into playing in his old position. The 29-year-old also primarily plays in this position for the German national football team, and Bayern coach Vincent Kompany doesn’t want to make a lot of fuss over it.

“What happens with the national team has no influence on my work,” Kompany said (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). “One of his strengths is that he can play several positions, even within one game. That’s why it’s not a problem, but a solution, and he himself said that it doesn’t bother him”.

If Kimmich has already reiterated several times that he doesn’t mind where he’s being played, there’s really no point in bringing up this discussion a lot. Props to Kompany for being direct with his answer and shutting down these frankly pointless and repetitive topics.

Bayern's Upcoming Challenges

While Bayern Munich have started the season in blistering form, they will face tougher challenges as the season progresses. They will be looking to maintain their momentum and continue their pursuit of both domestic and European success.

Their next challenge will be a crucial match against their rivals, Borussia Dortmund, on the first weekend of October. This is a fixture that always brings intense competition, and it will be a true test for Bayern's abilities.

Bayern's Unstoppable Force

Bayern Munich’s performance against Werder Bremen was a statement of intent. They showed that they are a force to be reckoned with, and they are determined to win every trophy they compete for. With their attacking prowess, defensive solidity, and a manager who is clearly getting the best out of his players, Bayern are poised for a successful season.

The Future of Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich are currently in a strong position, but the future of the club remains uncertain. There are a number of factors that will influence their success in the coming years, such as the performance of their young players, the transfer strategy of the club, and the ability of the manager to maintain the high standards that are expected at the club.

The future of Bayern Munich is in their own hands. They have the talent, the resources, and the ambition to remain at the top of German and European football for years to come. But they will need to continue to adapt, evolve, and remain competitive to stay ahead of their rivals. Only time will tell what the future holds for Bayern Munich.
