Bayern Munich 5-2 Augsburg: Initial reactions and observations

Initial reactions and observations:

• A more relaxed second half from Bayern Munich, as Hansi Flick significantly shuffled the team on the pitch, which eventually led to Bayern conceding 2 goals.
• Robert Lewandowski makes history!!! As he scored a goal in the dying moments of the match. He did something that nobody thought was possible — beating Gerd Muller’s legendary record.
• Bayern Munich says goodbye to three Bavarian legends — Jerome Boateng, Javi Martinez, and David Alaba. Truly a sad day for Bayern fans.
• Bayern dominated the match, and Augsburg scored two times from the few chances they had. The two conceded goals were a disappointment, after a penalty was saved.

Well, Bayern Munich fans, today is time to say your goodbyes.

Goodbye to David Alaba, who came here as a little kid and leaves as a double-treble winner.

Goodbye to Javi Martinez, who came arrived as the record transfer and sparked our most dominant period in history.

Goodbye to Jerome Boateng, who has been a rock our the defense for a decade now.

Goodbye to Hansi Flick, who brought us back to the dizzying heights of European glory, and went one step further by winning the sextuple.

And maybe even goodbye to a 50-year long record, which had stood the test of time through generations of football. What will the team give us today?

It’s Bayern time.
