It all started with Wöber and Lewandowski in the first quarter of an hour. After a cross from Kingsley Coman Lewandowski turned around his opponent, Wöber hit him in the foot – penalty for Bayern. Of course, Lewandowski took the shot himself, he pushed the ball down to the left and Salzburg goalkeeper Philipp Köhn had no chance (12′).
Eight games, twelve goals – Lewandowski particularly likes to score in the Champions League
Just nine minutes later, Wöber caught Lewandowski on the foot again – foul, at least that was undisputed. The referee Clement Turpin initially decided on a free kick and after consultation with the VAR but penalty, it was the right decision. And because it had worked so well before, Lewandowski shot again, even opting for the same corner – 2-0.
It wasn’t long before Wöber and Lewandowski had another duel. Bayern had won the ball in midfield and Muller put it in the middle of the defence. Wöber took a step towards the ball and pulled back, goalkeeper Köhn came out and was too late – the rest was easy exercise for Lewandowski.
It was goal number twelve for the attacker in the eighth Champions League game this season – an impressive rate even for someone like Lewandowski.
Gnabry, Müller and Sané round off the result
The game was decided, the class difference between Bayern and Salzburg was too obvious, and the result too early. After a long diagonal ball from Coman, Gnabry scored FC Bayern’s fourth goal after half an hour with a shot from twelve meters.
In the second half, Müller then scored twice. First he shot the ball from fourteen meters with his left foot in the top right corner. Just before the end he was successful again with his left foot, this time from the turn. Sané scored Bayern’s last goal, the template came from Lewandowski.
Once before, however, the guests from Salzburg were also allowed to cheer. Once Bayern had advanced a long way, but lost the ball, sat Brenden Aaronson Kjærgaard in scene. The Dane’s shot was nice and precise, it landed right in the corner. Manuel Neuer in goal had no chance – he will be able to get over it.
