| Lineup FC Bayern: | Neuer – Mazraoui, Dier, de Ligt, Davies – Pavlovic, Goretzka – Musiala, Müller, Sané – Kane |
| Lineup Borussia Mönchengladbach: | Nicolas – Scally, Friedrich, Elvedi – Weigl – Honorat, Neuhaus, Reitz, Netz – Ngoumou, Jordan |
| Gates: | 0:1 Elvedi (35th minute), 1:1 Pavlovic (45th) |
46th minute: We continue in the Allianz Arena. Netz takes a shot from 20 meters, but warps by just under a meter.
Half time: Shortly afterwards Stieler blows the whistle for the break, with a score of 1:1 going into the locker room. The Munich team got into the game much better and created early chances, Sané failed twice in promising positions. Borussia found their way into the game better in the middle of the first half, but Elvedi’s opening goal, favored by Neuer, still came as a surprise. The Tuchel team appeared to be struggling for a short time, but Pavlovic got a deserved equalizer before the half-time whistle. Everything is still open for the second half.
45th minute: The equalizer! Like last week, youngster Pavlovic meets. Sané initiates with a dribble on the right side and moves inwards. The ball lands via Müller at Pavlovic, who stays cool from a relatively tight angle and hits it halfway into the left corner. Nicolas has no chance in the Gladbach box.
43rd minute: The goal gave Borussia a noticeable boost. The guests play much more freely and come into or into the FCB penalty area more and more often. The people of Munich, on the other hand, are having a hard time taking control.
Neuer’s bad pass leads to a goal: Elvedi takes the lead for Gladbach
35th minute: It sounds in the Bayern goal! Neuer wants to play to Müller, but Elvedi intervenes and goes straight into the offensive. The central defender drives the ball through the completely neglected middle, plays a simple one-two with Jordan and is able to slide in from 14 meters down the right, completely unchallenged. Neuer was powerless to finish, but he still had his share of conceding a goal thanks to the weak pass to Müller.
33rd minute: First big chance for the guests! An Honorat cross becomes longer and longer, Neuer has to intervene and gets to it with his fingertips. Jordan is there at the baseline and sharpens the ball again. The second ball lands at Neuhaus, whose shot is blocked.
30th minute: Musiala makes Reitz wet and also takes away Fee. 20 meters from the penalty area, the ball bounces into Reitz’s hand, who receives a yellow card. Kane circles the ball to the far corner and finds his master in Nicolas, who fishes the shot from the corner.
28th minute: Gladbach announces itself and gets the first corner because de Ligt deflects away a cross from Honorat. The Frenchman is also responsible for the standard, which ultimately remains harmless
25th minute: Sané tries it from 23 meters from a half-right position and misses completely, but makes a spectator happy who grabs the play equipment and is reluctant to give it back. It is questionable whether he can keep the ball.
22nd minute: Jordan has problems receiving the ball at the halfway line, Kane and Pavlovic are immediately there and disrupt the game. After a few ball relays, Mazraoui penetrates the box and serves Sané. He finds Kane in the six-yard box and Weigl can clear at the last moment.
20th minute: The striking Davies is sent steeply by Musiala and finds Kane with his cross. With the first contact the Englishman stops the ball, with the second he shoots with his left. A Gladbacher is in the way. The second ball is also blocked and goes out of the goal, the subsequent corner has no result.
18th minute: Müller’s throw-in lands right at Weigl, who makes it a few meters towards the Munich half. But Pavlovic runs well, the Gladbacher has to tip over and plays the ball backwards. The Tuchel team has so far left very little ground to burn and makes a very concentrated and organized impression.
15th minute: Chocolate thalers fly onto the field from the Bayern block and they now have to be cleared from the field. Meanwhile, Neuer gets a ball and passes the time. After a short interruption, Stieler whistles again.
Sané unlucky: DFB star hit the crossbar early
14th minute: Gladbach hasn’t had much of the game so far, Bayern are setting the tone and going early. It’s usually over for Borussia at the halfway line at the latest.
12th minute: Dier goes on the offensive and takes a corner. Sané feels responsible and his low cross is cleared at the first post.
9th minute: Sané again – and the attacker can do that too. Davies drives the game from the left and takes Thomas Müller with him, who passes straight through to Sané, who has started. The German international is lightly pressured, but has the ball on his strong left foot and lobs the ball over Nicolas and past the box to the left.
5th minute: Latte! Gladbach in luck. Harry Kane draws two people towards him and takes Mazraoui with him in the penalty area. The Moroccan stumbles, but the ball ends up at Sané, who doesn’t hesitate and shoots from twelve meters and hits the crossbar. Nicolas would have been powerless.
4th minute: This time Kane is caught in the center circle, but the Englishman quickly gets up.
2nd minute: Pavlovic intercepts a pass in the Gladbach half and is fouled. The leather is played back and initially runs through the back four.
1st minute: Stieler releases the game, Gladbach kicks off.
Update, 3:25 p.m.: The Allianz Arena is full, the teams are ready in the tunnel. It starts in a few minutes.
Update, 3:17 p.m.: Before the game, Tuchel had already promised his new right-back Boey a role, but initially chose Mazraoui. “He’s obviously better at the processes and I think it’s good for Sacha if he can watch first and then finish the game for us,” the FCB coach explained the choice on the Sky microphone.
Update, 3:10 p.m.: FC Bayern have rarely looked good against Borussia in the recent past. Of the last six duels, the Munich team only won one, on matchday 3 of the current season. There were also two draws and Gladbach emerged victorious three times.
Thomas Müller before record: 500th competitive game win in sight
Update, 3 p.m.: By the way, the referee is Tobias Stieler, assisted by Christian Gittelmann and Robert Kempter. Martin Petersen is the fourth official, Robert Hartmann and Stefan Lupp are the VARs.
Update, 2:52 p.m.: A quick look at both teams’ recent results. The home team got nine points from four games after the winter break, only losing to SV Werder. Things are going mixed at Gladbach, four points from three games have been collected since the turn of the year. Coach Gerardo Seoane’s team performed well against the top teams from Stuttgart (3:1) and Leverkusen (0:0), but less so against Augsburg (1:2).
Update, 2:46 p.m.: Incidentally, the game against Gladbach will be the 690th competitive game for Müller, who returns to the starting eleven, meaning he is only 16 games short of record holder Sepp Maier. He could also break another sound barrier: If FCB wins, Müller would celebrate his 500th Bayern victory – a mark that has never been achieved before.
Update, 2:38 p.m.: The guests have now also announced the first eleven. Shooting star Rocco Reitz can start again, as can Nathan Ngoumou. Manu Kone initially takes a seat on the bench.
Tuchel gives Müller a chance: veteran celebrates his return to the starting eleven
Update, 2:28 p.m.: Like FC Bayern also via X reported, Tuchel will be on the sidelines and coach the team.
Update, 2:20 p.m.: Munich’s starting eleven is here! Noussair Mazraoui, who only returned from the Africa Cup on Friday, starts at right back. In addition, veteran Thomas Müller can start again from the start. Boey and Zaragoza sit on the bench, as does Guerreiro.
The complete line-up: Neuer – Mazraoui, Dier, de Ligt, Davies – Pavlovic, Goretzka – Musiala, Müller, Sané – Kane
Update, 2:15 p.m.: During the week, coach Thomas Tuchel was unavailable due to flu and was unable to lead training. He was also not at the press conference on Friday and was represented by Christoph Freund. If the 50-year-old cannot sit on the bench today, it would definitely be a severe weakening for the record champions.
Update, 2:07 p.m.: The lineups will be published in a few minutes before the ball rolls from 3:30 p.m. FCB fans will be particularly excited to see whether one of the two new signings, Boey and Zaragoza, can start straight away.
FC Bayern vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach in the live ticker: duel between two traditional clubs
First report from February 3rd, 12:15 p.m.: Munich – Be careful, FC Bayern! Borussia Mönchengladbach, the feared opponent of the German record champions, will be visiting the Allianz Arena on Saturday (February 3rd).
Thomas Tuchel probably fit again: Bayern coach probably on the bench against Gladbach
The Munich team were only able to win one of the last six direct duels; on matchday 3 of the current season there was a 2-1 win on the Lower Rhine. Positive from FCB’s point of view: Coach Thomas Tuchel, who had to take a break during the week due to a flu-like infection, will “in all probability” be back on the bench against Borussia.
The new signings Sacha Boey and Bryan Zaragoza will probably also be there, and Noussair Mazraoui should also be available. “That is the plan. We have to look at Nous, he only came back this morning. There are still short checks,” said sports director Christoph Freund at the press conference on Friday.
Personnel concerns at FCB: The first team sets itself up almost by itself
In the media round, the 46-year-old also warned about the upcoming opponent, who has had a rather disappointing round so far and is in twelfth place in the table with 21 points. “It’s good that we now have several options. We don’t expect an easy game. Gladbach has a lot of quality and can switch well. “They did very well against Leverkusen,” said Freund, looking back on the “Foals”’s 0-0 draw against their closest rivals in the championship fight.
Joshua Kimmich will not be an option. The German international is missing injured, as are wingers Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry. The same applies to Dayot Upamecano, which is why Eric Dier and Matthijs de Ligt should form the central defense. Exactly what FC Bayern’s line-up will look like against Mönchengladbach will be announced at around 2.30 p.m. An hour later it starts. (masc)
