meAfter two minutes into the match, you could see something in the Munich football stadium that was rarely seen there this season, maybe never before: Robert Lewandowski passed the ball to Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting. Actually, Bayern’s second center forward is only used when the first one needs a break. On Monday night, their trainer Hansi Flick brought them together for once and had to see their plan fail.
It was nine minutes into the game and you could see something in the sand that could be seen over and over again this season: FC Bayern trailed 1-0. In his first game for Arminia Bielefeld, Michel Vlap escaped from the defenders in the penalty area and shot Manuel Neuer firmly. They even had to concede Amos Pieper’s second goal before the break (37th) and then even Christian Gebauer’s third (49th).
On Monday night, Bayern caught up with the deficit, as in many Bundesliga games. But after goals from Robert Lewandowski (48th), Corentin Tolisso (57th) and Alphonso Davies (69th) it was no longer enough for the victory. In the end, Bielefeld’s team was able to grace themselves with a 3: 3 due to a brave appearance in Munich, and with a new nickname: World Cup winner almost winner.

On Monday night there was an auspicious occasion to put Bayern back on the pitch: a Bundesliga game against Bielefeld.

Not only can it be explained by the grueling week of the Club World Cup, why Flick started alongside Choupo-Moting and Bouna Sarr, also rarely in the starting XI, right from the start. Before the trip to Qatar, Leon Goretzka and Javi Martínez (both Covid-19) were out. In Qatar, they were joined by Thomas Müller (Covid-19), Jérôme Boateng (private duel) and Serge Gnabry (muscle tear). After the trip to Qatar, Douglas Costa (small fissure in the right metatarsal) was also trapped in training. Flick had no alternatives.
