Will Yann Sommer be ruined by a blustery Jonas Wind as Bayern Munich go to Wolfsburg looking to reclaim their spot at the Bundesliga summit today (kick-off: ...

He is the 100th Bayern player to be shown a red card in Germany's top flight. [Bayern](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/clubs/fc-bayern-muenchen)'s incredible quality: Joao Cancelo provided his second assist in as many games since his deadline-day arrival with a pinpoint cross from the right, which Coman volleyed in from 12 yards at the back post. - Musiala's goal was his first in 2023. When Kimmich was sent off for a second bookable offence a short while later, the Wolves sought to press home their advantage and could have scored again when Baku had a free header inside the six-yard box, but he could only direct it straight at Yann Sommer. They didn't need long to signal their intent to do just that, with Coman's in-swinging cross from the left in the ninth minute evading Thomas Müller's outstretched boot and deceiving Koen Casteels on its way into the far corner. Wins for Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund on Saturday meant the onus was very much on Julian Nagelsmann's side here to follow suit and defend their narrow lead at the top of the table.

Although the statements, as often the case in the media cauldron surrounding the record champions, were overblown, a defeat or draw against Wolfsburg would have certainly opened the floodgates for a media circus. They will also stress that this win was necessary in a week in which captain and currently injured goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer gave a controversial double interview with The Athletic and Süddeutsche Zeitung. The Wolves scored a second in the 81st minute when Mattias Svanberg finally converted one of his many chances. “We take the three points and move forward." “We scored three goals from the first three chances, which made it easier for us.” But the triumph over Wolfsburg also showed plenty of shortcomings that a more effective opponent might have better explored.

The 28-year-old defender left City after [an alleged falling out](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/mancity-cancelo-transfer-guardiola-fallout-29089969) with boss [Pep Guardiola](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/pep-guardiola) over a lack of game-time. Despite the Bavarians' infatuation with the former [Juventus](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/juventus-fc) star, having targeted him for "more than four years," the club aren't wholly confident of securing his services on a permanent basis come the summer. Meanwhile, Guardiola isn't ruling out a reunion either, with Cancelo still having a contract at the Etihad Stadium which runs until 2027.

Bayern Munich held on despite Joshua Kimmich's send-off to beat Wolfsburg 4-2 and return to the top of the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Kimmich was sent off with his second yellow card in the 54th but Wolfsburg was unable to make its dominance count as the visitors delivered a lesson in efficiency.

Top five players to have played for both Bayern Munich and ... (Khel Now)

There have been some players who have played for both Manchester United and Bayern Munich. See who made it to the top five list.

Owen began his career at Bayern Munich where he made 145 appearances for The Bavarians and scored 5 times in that spell. He was the combative midfielder United’s midfield needed, possessing the ability to inject speed and energy into Ferguson’s tactical plans, but it failed to transpire in such a manner due to the injuries he sustained. Having made a total of 226 appearances for Ajax, he also made 90 appearances for The Red Devils in which he scored four times. Schweinsteiger – regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time, due to his tactical awareness, positioning, passing and also due to his ability to read and control the flow of the game. He was then sent back to Manchester United again where he won two Premier League titles with them in his second spell. He is also renowned for managing clubs like Manchester City, Stoke City, and Southampton. Although most of his playing days revolved in England, he had a brief spell in Germany with Bayern Munich when he was loaned to the Bavarians. An injury-hit side like theirs is going to relish the experience of a player like him in their ranks. The latest addition to the squad of Erik Ten Haag, Sabitzer prized for his ability to play in different areas of the pitch. He opened Blind’s eyes to a different style of coaching. He made 177 appearances and scored 40 goals after moving to Bayern Munich in 2021. Combative, physical and in possession of a powerful long-range shot, his attitude and his concentration towards the game have been lauded by many managers.

- Overall, the attack was impressive for stretches, but I was not feeling overly great with the backline on the day. He still has a lot of areas where he can develop further and he can do that with us. Because from his point of view this would also be the best option for the player. - For as good as Bayern Munich’s attack was flowing, the backline was caught in scramble mode several times. He did quite well, he’s really composed on the ball and he knows how to defend. He did not want to name a financial pain limit for the French vice world champion. On the day, Goretzka was not great. - Müller got into the act off of a perfect set piece delivery from Joshua Kimmich. I did not think Kimmich was really at that good on the day, either. - Wolfsburg had to have a sinking feeling when Kingsley Coman’s would-be cross curled into the net for an early 1-0 lead for the Bavarians. Joao Cancelo sent a beautiful cross over and Coman volleyed it expertly into the far corner. Let’s take a look at some quick hitters on the match:

After a lot of drama over the weekend at FC Bayern Munich, we decided to get in contact with Florian Bogner from Eurosport Germany.

Bayern decided to mix up Neuer's state in state, so to speak - to challenge him and to be prepared if he's not coming back at his best level. He also has Euro 2024 in Germany back in his mind with Hansi Flick as a loyal national coach. He will try to come back and show everybody what he is still capable of. “That's why they bought Alexander Nubel, but they discovered that Nubel and Neuer were like fire and ice. That's a huge deal - so he will think twice before provoking something.” “Neuer definitely thinks he's better than Sommer, who is 34 years old as well. “Now, with Neuer's broken foot at the age of 37 on his own account while skiing, everything has changed. 2017-2018) and Bayern looked at the whole package more carefully.

And for a second game in a row, he delivered a beaut that left probably more than one Bayern fan saying, “so that’s what a cross looks like.” The fullback gets 2.5 (kicker) and 2 (Bild) — very notable! That's part down to luck (Ridle Baku’s header) and part down to his reaction saves. - With João Cancelo bombing up the right flank, Davies had a more reserved role (though he also got forward) and looked a fish out of water. The drama, the fast start, the cards — yellow and red — the first half sub, the saves. For context, this is a Niko Kovač-coached Wolfsburg side that has been racing up the Bundesliga table over the last ten games — a 7-3-0 streak that came to an unceremonious halt against the Bavarians.
