Again it is the Coman-Müller combination that brings FCB into the penalty area. But again the pass of the Frenchman is too difficult to control. Müller bounces the ball up when passing it on, Baumgartl clears a volley from 14 meters well over his own goal for a corner.

Thomas Müller shows up immediately. First he separates Awoniyi from the ball after he was able to keep control of it for a long time in the bustling midfield. In return, he is served flat from the left from 15 meters, but when controlling the pass that is too sharp, he slips away.

The game is played in front of 35,000 people in the stadium. Bayern wear red, Union white.
18:28
There is a first nice sign on the warm-up shirts before the kick-off. Bayern wear the lettering “Red Against Racism” on their chest, while Union says “Iron for Humanity”.
18:27
In their second year, word got around to every team in the league how uncomfortable Union can be as an opponent. Accordingly, she called Julian Nagelsmann “disciplined” at the press conference. He also speculated that Munich’s opponents would “put a lot on the counterattack”.

Captain Trimmel also attracted positive attention when he extended his contract at the old forester’s office. The Berliners also reported the extension of keeper Luthe, who was also able to return in time after his corona infection and is between the posts.
18:14
At Union there are three changes in the first eleven after the 1-1 draw against Stuttgart. Captain Trimmel falls out with Corona, his deputy Prömel cannot intervene yellow-locked. Ryerson and Haraguchi replace the two, and Oczipka can also start for Gießelmann, who is ill.

For Goretzka it is probably not enough for a mission, he will have to sit on the bench for the full 90 minutes. Corentin Tolisso, who is also coming back from injury, also made it there.
17:52
And yet there are still some injured players at FC Bayern, so that not only the big stars are in the starting XI. In defence, Julian Nagelsmann relies on Josip Stanišić and Tanguy Nianzou Kouassi, for example.
17:46
In addition to the sporting stories, you also have to look at the injuries at FC Bayern. Niklas Süle was injured during the week, but the all-clear has been sounded again: The central defender will probably be back after the upcoming international break. Lewandowski, who missed a few midweek training sessions, is also available today. Leon Goretzka returns to the bench after a long break.
17:40
On the other hand, Union Berlin, who are still in the race for international places and are in eighth place, has even bigger problems with their form. The Köpenickers could only win one of the last six games, most recently there was a 1-1 duel with in-form Stuttgart.
17:37
Bayern stumbled recently and dropped points, as in the 1-1 draw in Hoffenheim last week. Little by little, the Dortmund team came closer, so the lead of the long-term champions is only four points. Even if there is no reason to worry in the master race, at least the first alarm bells are ringing.
