Bundesliga

Nagelsmann has strictly used Leon Goretzka in a very, very attacking role this season. The former Bochum midfielder definitely has some strengths in that role.

Fancy some analysis and a breakdown of the stats and tactics? Some of the attacking sequences were still sloppy, sometimes the players didn’t know when to play the ball fast up the field or retain possession and the attackers still looked a little shot shy. Against Bochum, Ari came on to make his competitive debut for the Bavarian giants and though he couldn’t score a goal (despite coming close twice), he still was very impressive. But it means we might see a lot more experimenting in the future to find the former Manchester City man’s perfect role. Goretzka showed that he is capable in possession, progressing the ball nicely through Bochum’s press, but he really starred when it came to his defensive play. Though, considering how Goretzka usually plays that attacking role and completely eschews this kind of defensive work rate usually, the obvious question is why does he not play this role more often?

At that point, Müller, of course, did not know that Paris Saint-Germain, Tuesday's opponent in the UEFA Champions League, was struggling against Monaco and ...

The truth, however, also is that Bayern, after ten Bundesliga titles in a row, feels that their main goal is the Champions League title this season. There is no doubt that Bayern’s win was deserved in the end. Müller would admit in the mixed zone that Bayern’s start was not the best. Kingsley Coman then came on for the Portuguese wing-back in the 59th minute, and five minutes later, the Frenchman had doubled the lead for Bayern. That goal then paved the way for tactical changes as Nagelsmann switched João Cancelo to the right and brought on Alphonso Davies on the left. At that point, Müller, of course, did not know that Paris Saint-Germain, Tuesday’s opponent in the UEFA Champions League, was struggling against Monaco and would ultimately lose the game.

Saints have lost five consecutive Premier League home games for the first time since April-August 1998, when they were under the leadership of Dave Jones. There have been 128 goals scored in 34 Premier League matches between Leicester and Tottenham, with the average of 3.8 per game the highest such ratio among fixtures to be played more than 20 times in the competition. They had won 10 in a row at Emirates Stadium when opening the scoring before this game. The other recent heavy loss was 4-2 at Manchester City. Wolves fought from a goal and a man down to win against their favourite Premier League opposition, having won each of their last five meetings, the first time they have ever been victorious in five consecutive games against a specific opponent in the competition. On his return from suspension, Joao Felix became the 12th different player to score for Chelsea in the Premier League this season, with no side having had more in 2022-23 (excluding own goals), which perhaps is not a surprise when you consider the number of players they now have.

Bayern Munich youngster Mamin Sanyang has been included in The Gambia's squad for this month's TotalEnergies U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

"I'm also looking forward to representing the senior Scorpions. It is a big opportunity for me that's why I'm excited and looking forward to it," added Sanyang. "I'm very happy and proud to be selected by the coach for the TotalEnergies U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt," Mamin told CAFOnline.

They were without injured duo Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, and went behind in just the fourth minute to Aleksandr Golovin.

Davide Zappacosta opened the scoring in the 23rd minute and Rasmus Hojland added a second 25 minutes from time. Marseille took advantage, closing the gap to five points at the top with a 2-0 victory over Clermont. Real Betis climbed into fifth place after defeating Almeria 3-2.

Daily Schmankerl: The aftermath of Bayern Munich vs. VfL Bochum; Noussair Mazraoui to Inter Milan already?; Julian Nagelsmann can't see selling Kingsley Coman; ...

He could be getting the itch to leave (especially considering the crowded ranks on the wing at Bayern Munich), but he has not indicated that as of yet. It is hard to envision a scenario where Sabitzer returns to Bayern Munich on any type of full-time basis. The funds will then be reinvested in a replacement, with Morocco international Mazraoui the preferred option of directors Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio, after they had previously courted him in 2021. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode: Manchester United are prepared to sign Marcel Sabitzer permanently in the summer if he impresses during his loan spell. Inter are ready to cash in on wingback Denzel Dumfries this summer and attempt to replace him with Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui, with help from Achraf Hakimi. Goretzka needed to do way better with that, but said after the match that it was a difficult attempt. I do think the heavy workload and physical toll is having a little bit of an effect on Musiala. - Matthijs de Ligt and Benjamin Pavard were both excellent on the day. - While I have never been inducted into the #MüllerMafia, it is hard to fathom how Nagelsmann had any thought to put Thomas Müller on the bench when games restarted after the World Cup. - Just about the only 50/50 call was Serge Gnabry over Kingsley Coman and Alphonso Davies, but it makes sense. When the team desperately needed to play with some urgency, Müller was there to power the squad with sheer will and determination.

There is anger." "I am worried about the match on Tuesday night. "There are other matches and we're taking no risk with him. It is bizarre to say that as a PSG manager, but it is the current reality. It is the current state of the team. It is strange but true.

Paris Saint-Germain is limping into their first leg contest in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes.

The capital club will be riding a two-game losing streak into the matchup and their performances have been subpar. Ici c’est Paris 💪🏼🔴🔵" As a result, PSG will need to get a win without their star player, so it will be a challenging task for manager Christophe Galtier.

Wissam Ben Yedder scored twice for Monaco as Marseille closed the gap to five points.

El Chadaille Bitshiabu, the 17-year-old centre-back, was then dispossessed on the edge of his own area by Krepin Diatta, allowing Ben Yedder to fire in and make it 2-0 in the 18th minute. PSG, with Neymar unable to make an impact, rarely threatened in the second half and again needed their Italy goalkeeper to intervene on several occasions, including making a fine stop to deny Takumi Minamino right at the end. Already beaten by Lens and Rennes in Ligue 1 since the turn of the year, the capital side fell behind when Ben Yedder helped set up Russian international Golovin to score from close range. PSG were also without playmaker Marco Verratti, fellow midfielder Renato Sanches and defender Nordi Mukiele due to injury before it emerged that several members of the squad were laid low by a stomach bug on the morning of the game. The 16-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery pulled one back for PSG but Ben Yedder scored his second of the game, and 19th goal this season, to make it 3-1 in first-half stoppage time.

Bayern heeded the warning as Joao Cancelo - operating on the right-hand side following the half-time introduction of Alphonso Davies - guided a trademark cross onto the head of Choupo-Moting, who headed off target.

Bochum's resistance was broken before the break, though, following a mix-up between Riemann and Saidy Janko. 74') Riemann blocked from Sane and pounced on Gnabry's follow-up, before pulling off a superb reaction save from Matthijs de Ligt, with Leon Goretzka heading the rebound wide.
