Bayern Munich crushed Stuttgart (4-0) this Saturday just before traveling to Barcelona to face the Barça team. Harry Kane (3) and Kingsley Coman 'wet' for the Bavarians
Bayern Munich sent a clear message to FC Barcelona about their offensive force this Saturday in the Bundesliga. Vincent Kompany's men beat Stuttgart at home (4-0) and maintain the lead in the tournament with 17 points, the same as RB Leipzig after seven games played.
The match was not easy for the Bavarians, as Sebastian Hoeneß's team did an excellent defensive job in the first half. Müller, Gnabry and Olise had trouble overcoming the visitors' defense, while Harry Kane looked isolated in the area.
Although Munich's dominance was total, Suttugart held the score at zero without too many problems until half-time. Despite the tie, Kompany kept his XI intact after halftime and, in the 57th minute, the opening of the scoring would come and, with it, the Kane festival at the Allianz Arena.
Kane destroyed Stuttgart's defense in 23 minutes
With the rival completely withdrawn near their area, Bayern began to find spaces through rapid circulation. Joshua Kimmich saw the '9' free on the edge of the area and, without thinking much, the English striker took a low shot from outside the area that surprised goalkeeper Nübel.
The goal disconcerted the Stuttgart defense and, three minutes later, the second came from Harry, who with some luck got a rebound inside the area to position himself near the penalty spot and shoot the rival goalkeeper with his right.
With the score at 2-0, Kompany moved the bench and the Bavarians felt at home, installed near the area of a rival who barely looked at Neuer's goal a couple of times. In the 80th minute, Kane sealed his hat trick, this time defending with his left foot by taking advantage of a loose ball in the area after a deflection by an opponent.
The locals closed the account in the 89th minute with another remarkable definition by Kingsley Coman from the left, taking advantage of the passivity in the marking of a totally dedicated Stuttgart team. With the win, Bayern once again unleashed their gunpowder in attack and now has 24 goals scored in 7 Bundesliga games, with only 7 conceded.
