Bayern Munich delivered a jaw-dropping performance on Saturday, overturning a two-goal deficit to thrash Freiburg 6-2 and tighten their grip on the Bundesliga summit. The match, played at a frosty Allianz Arena, showcased the Bavarians’ relentless firepower and underlined why they remain the team to beat in Germany’s top flight.
A Nightmare Start Turns Into a Masterclass
Freiburg stunned the home crowd early, racing to a 2-0 lead within the first 17 minutes thanks to goals from Yuito Suzuki and Johan Manzambi. For a brief moment, it looked like Bayern might be in for a long afternoon, especially after their recent 2-2 stumble against Union Berlin had raised questions about their invincibility.
But as quickly as the doubts appeared, Bayern erased them. Seventeen-year-old sensation Lennart Karl pulled one back in the 22nd minute, injecting belief back into the squad. Just before halftime, French winger Michael Olise—who would go on to be the game’s undisputed star—leveled the score with his first of two goals.
Olise and Kane Lead the Charge
The second half was a showcase of Bayern’s attacking depth and composure. Dayot Upamecano put Bayern ahead in the 55th minute, and Harry Kane, the English striker who has been on a tear across all competitions, added a fourth just five minutes later. Kane’s tally this season is remarkable, with goals in the Bundesliga, Champions League, German Cup, and even for the England national team.
Nicolas Jackson and Olise rounded out the scoring, with Olise finishing the match with two goals and three assists—a performance that will surely be remembered by fans and pundits alike.
What This Means for the Bundesliga
With this emphatic win, Bayern now sits atop the Bundesliga with 31 points from a possible 33, boasting an eight-point lead over second-place Bayer Leverkusen. Borussia Dortmund, after a dramatic 3-3 draw with Stuttgart, trails by nine points, highlighting the growing gap between Bayern and their traditional rivals.
Freiburg, meanwhile, remains mid-table, unable to capitalize on their dream start but showing flashes of quality that could trouble other teams this season.
