FC Bayern Munich continues to walk through the season without resistance and inflicted the heaviest home defeat in VfL Bochum’s Bundesliga history. On Sunday, the all-time champion once again impressively demonstrated his supremacy in German football with a 7-0 (4-0) win at VfL, which is currently hardly suitable for the Bundesliga. While the supposedly worst competitor Borussia Dortmund blundered for the first time against Werder Bremen on Saturday, Bayern are the only team in the league with the maximum haul of nine points at the top after three games.
Trainer Julian Nagelsmann was also happy about his lucky hand in the selection of personnel on Sunday. For the first time this season, the 35-year-old had to make three changes to his starting eleven, which he had previously tried in three competitive games. All three newcomers scored straight away: goals from Leroy Sané (4th minute), Mathijs de Ligt (25th) and Kingsley Coman (33rd) came after sometimes heavy individual dropouts by the VfL pros, who conceded their third defeat in the third game . Sadio Mané (42nd/60th, hand penalty) increased in a highly one-sided game. Significantly, the sixth goal came from an own goal by Cristian Gamboa (69′). Substitute Serge Gnabry (77th) was also allowed to celebrate.
Right from the start, the injured or rested Alphonso Davies (muscle hardening), Jamal Musiala (strain) and the later goalscorer Gnabry, who came from the bench this time, were well represented. On the offensive, Sané, who came from the youth club SG Wattenscheid in Bochum, caused considerable problems for the VfL pros with his speed. Bochum’s keeper Riemann didn’t look good even during the early lead with a wonderful Sané shot into the top left corner of the goal. The spokesman in the VfL team admittedly made an even bigger faux pas when he conceded a second goal from 67 million euro access de Ligt when he underwent a corner kick from Joshua Kimmich.
De Ligt, who came from Juventus Turin, started for the first time this season and also ensured stability in defense against Bochum, who were completely harmless. For the first time this season, Coman was in the team after his suspension from last season and made the early decision. His goal was also preceded by a serious individual error by Gamboa. Bayern access Mané was also several classes too good for Bochum. With his brace, the former Liverpool professional made the debacle for VfL perfect early on.

Nothing was left of the February spirit when Bayern suffered a bitter 4-2 defeat in Bochum. After the third defeat in the third game of the season and 3:12 goals, coach Thomas Reis’ team travels to SC Freiburg on Friday as bottom of the table. Hardly any player reached Bundesliga level on Sunday. In the second year after returning to the first division, VfL seems to be facing a very difficult season.
