Episode Details

In a game that Bayern Munich absolutely needed to win, the Bavarians out up a 3-0 victory over Lazio in the Champions League.

The victory gave Bayern Munich a 3-1 win on aggregate, which propelled the team into the next round of the Champions League — and also allowed fans to exhale...very deeply.

Let’s get to it. This is what we have on tap for this episode:

• A look at Thomas Tuchel’s starting XI and what surprised us with his selections.
• A rundown of the scoring.
• Tuchel’s tactics worked! Bayern Munich played with great urgency! The players lived up to their collective potential.
• Thomas Müller and Matthijs de Ligt carried the team.
• Aleksandar Pavlović is looking more and more like a keeper as he gains more experience.
• Joshua Kimmich and Raphaël Guerreiro thrived in their roles (but, yeah, that is probably not sustainable).
• Give Eric Dier some credit.
• Some thoughts about what where Bayern Munich goes from here — for at least one day, we got to see what this team should have looked like all season.
