It always feels great to beat an English club, doesn\u2019t it? Bayern Munich brought their A-game on Wednesday as they cruised to a 3-1 win over the Club World Cup champions. While Bayern Munich were expected to be favorites on home soil, this was dominance.<\/p>\n
Harry Kane will cement his Bayern legacy this season<\/p>\n
The English striker has been solid during his time in Munich. While he has scored plenty of goals, most would argue that he still has not elevated Bayern to the expected heights with his marquee signing. Bayern\u2019s success with Robert Lewandowski was far greater than so far with Kane.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s early, and Kane seems like a man on a mission this year. The Englishman seems poised to hit full stride this season and collect his first ever Champions League trophy. Could Kane forever cement himself as a Bayern Munich legend with a Ballon d\u2019Or caliber season?<\/p>\n
Josip Stani\u0161i\u0107\u2019s injury puts Bayern in a real bad spot<\/p>\n
The Croatian defender is certainly not Bayern Munich\u2019s best defensive player, but has proven to be a valuable asset over time. Stani\u0161i\u0107 can play any position in the backline, and has filled in effectively this season and historically when needed. With It\u014d, Davies, and Guerreiro all injured, this already shaky backline is in some serious trouble. Where is Eric Dier when you need him?<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich has the best attack in Europe<\/p>\n
With Jamal Musiala sidelined for several months, and the departure of Leroy San\u00e9, many were concerned the offense would see a drop in production, at least early in the season. That has certainly not been the case.<\/p>\n
While no one would dare say that the attack is better without Musiala, Serge Gnabry\u2019s blossoming role in the attack has worked out nicely for the Bavarians. Luis D\u00edaz has put up good numbers, but still hasn\u2019t looked fully settled in yet. Harry Kane is playing his best football at the moment and Olise needs no introduction.<\/p>\n
Even if Nicolas Jackson isn\u2019t an absolute revelation, this attack is primed to do some serious damage. Even when the attack was seemingly having an off day with some subpar performances, Bayern still scored three.<\/p>\n
Nothing new\u2014Bayern owns London clubs<\/p>\n
The Club World Cup champions put out a strong lineup in Munich but looked to be on a subpar level compared to Die Roten. Chelsea are trying to put in a title challenge with Arsenal and Liverpool for English champions this season, but if this is the best England has to offer, it would indicate that the big money spent this summer has not translated to quality on the pitch.<\/p>\n
While Liverpool is undoubtedly a strong side, the Bundesliga giants seem to always easily dispose of any London-based club.<\/p>\n
In the 87th minute, the English commentator suggested that Bayern Munich fans were whistling at Cucurella because of his haircut. Surely, he can\u2019t think that is the reason, right?<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich hosted Chelsea in one of the most intriguing matchups on the second round of Matchday 1 in the Champions League\u2019s League Phase.<\/p>\n
The Bavarians were able to tough out a rugged 3-1 victory in a match that was not all that pleasing to the eye. Harry Kane\u2019s brace and an own goal from Chelsea paced Bayern Munich. While Chelsea did some good things (including a terrific first half counterattack for a goal), the Londoners did not have enough gas in the tank to keep up with the German powerhouse.<\/p>\n
