Bavarian Podcast Works: Postgame Show — Bayern Munich 2-0 Hoffenheim (Hinrunde)

Bayern Munich cruised to a comfortable victory against Hoffenheim, with coach Julian Nagelsmann witnessing his team score 2 unanswered goals against his former side. The Bavarians were never really in any trouble, thanks to a defending masterclass from the backline, and a composed, mature outing from the midfield.

Choupo-Moting and Musiala take most of the plaudits when it comes to the attack, while Gnabry was solid at best. Not all wins can be flashy 5+ goal thumpings, which is fine. In the end, it is the points and the results that matter. And Bayern has been really solid in the Bundesliga since that regrettable 1-0 loss to Augsburg back in September.

All that said, here are the talking points from the podcast:

• Bayern Munich’s absolute, thorough domination
• Hoffenheim’s lineup and plan, and how it fell right into Nagelsmann’s hands
• Fantastic performance from the defense
• Why Bayern Munich’s defense is Europe’s best
• Singing more praises of Jamal Musiala
• Why Choupo Moting is the player Bayern needed, and how he’s stepped up
• Sadio Mané and Kingsley Coman’s worrying form and why they’re at a higher risk of being benched
• Bayern’s prospects in the near future
