Halftime Observations
- Routine work by Bayern so far, nothing spectacular aside from the goal and countless wasted opportunities.

Let’s start! — This is Müller’s final match!
Lineups are out! Thomas Muller starts in his last match at home for the Bavarians, with Manuel Neuer returning in time to start between the sticks:
Bayern Munich has finally done it: they have won the Bundesliga, building up a big enough gap to Bayer Leverkusen to make it impossible to catch them. Today’s match is about celebrating that
Meisterschale
retaliation operation thus the club
should
be motivated to get all three points.
Vincent Kompany can experiment a bit but at the same time needs to maintain rhythm for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. That said, please join us in this (hopefully) easy going match with the fact that Bayern has reclaimed the league title.
It’s Bayern time.
