Match

The run at home goes on for Bayern Munich

26 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Squad

Jonas Urbig keeps Bayern Munich in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Bayern Munich tear SC Freiburg apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑2 against SC Freiburg, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Aleksandar Pavlović scores twice — 9.97

Two goals and a mark of 9.97 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

A brace, and Luis Díaz takes the afternoon — 9.05

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Luis Díaz provided it, and the 9.05 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Tempers go at Bayern Munich

Harry Kane was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Bayern Munich cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Real improvement from David Schuster at Bayern Munich

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. David Schuster is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Kim Min-Jae falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Bayern Munich are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 74 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

Harry Kane in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bayern Munich this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from David Schuster at Bayern Munich

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. David Schuster is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market

St. Pauli watching Arijon Ibrahimović

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Bayern Munich have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

David Schuster stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Schuster and Bayern Munich agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Dayot Upamecano is still paying for one afternoon at Bayern Munich

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

In brief
