FC Bayern Munich 1: 3: First victory for Nagelsmann! FCB beat Dortmund in the Supercup

A title as a statement: Julian Nagelsmann put the first trophy in the showcase for FC Bayern with high-speed football. The long-time champion and his new coach set an example for the Bundesliga in the 3-1 (1-0) in the passionate Supercup duel with Borussia Dortmund (read in the ticker) thanks to Robert Lewandowski – the top dog comes from Munich and will join his challenger defend against all means.

Top scorer Lewandowski (41st, 74th) and Thomas Müller (49th) finally gave Nagelsmann their first win and a trophy two days after the death of club icon Gerd Müller in an astonishingly intense game. The BVB held against it properly, but the DFB Cup winner made too many blunders to really be up to the opponent. Captain Marco Reus scored like a dream at the connection (64th), this time there was little to be seen of Erling Haaland’s elemental force.

“That means a lot to me. This is the next title we have won. It was really great for the spectators to watch the game. It is really great for the team. We can enjoy it,” said Lewandowski on the double goal scorer Sky-Microphone.

FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann was also satisfied: “I think we defended very well, especially in the first half. That was an absolutely deserved win for us. It’s not easy against the offensive power that Dortmund has. The title is the reward for last season because we became champions. Not me, but Hansi Flick. The title belongs to more than me, “said Nagelsmann Sat 1.

Dortmund’s captain Marco Reus said: “That was an unnecessary defeat. Bayern had their chances, that was clear beforehand. The energy and passion were okay.”

Supercup – BVB vs. FC Bayern Munich: The grades and individual reviews

1/32

FC Bayern Munich won the first title of the season. In the Supercup, the record champions won 3-1 against BVB, who made hair-raising defensive mistakes. The notes and individual reviews.

2/32

BORUSSIA DORTMUND – GREGOR KOBEL: Underlined his status as number one. Good control of the penalty area and sovereign play with the ball. Powerless against Lewandowski’s header (41.). No chance at 0: 2 and 1: 3. Grade: 3.5.

3/32

FELIX PASSLACK: Had big problems against Davies and Bayern’s rotating wings. His failed back pass should have meant the early deficit (10th). Too passive against Gnabry before the 0-1. Was lured before the 0: 2 (50th). Grade: 5.5.

4/32

AXEL WITSEL: Once again radiated a lot of security in an unfamiliar position. Strong rescue act after Gnabry’s flank (8th). He was spot on with Lewandowski’s shot and cleared the line with his shoulder blade (34th). Note 3.

5/32

MANUEL AKANJI: I kept calm in the hectic opening phase with good positional play. Too far away from Lewandowski in front of his gate. In the build-up of the game actually safe until he led the 1: 3 against Tolisso completely headless (74th). Grade: 5.

6/32

NICO SCHULZ: I was lucky that his hair-raising bad pass was not punished by Gnabry (6th). Now and then a bit sleepy against the fast Coman. At least a bit more active offensive than Passlack. Grade: 4.

7/32

MAHMOUD DAHOUD: Huge amount of running, always playable. But he found the brilliant ideas too seldom. Simple loss of the ball against Müller (38th). Conquered many balls for it and took out a few free kicks. Note 3.

8/32

JUDE BELLINGHAM: The tackle machine in Rose’s diamond system! Great pass to Reus (20th). Put the hit from Reus exemplary. Lost the ball unusually often. Grade: 3.5.

9/32

GIOVANNI REYNA: Worked an enormous amount backwards. Enormously poisonous in duels (16). To restrain a bit in the attacking game, he did not shoot at goal. Its many flanks brought little danger. Grade: 4.

10/32

MARCO REUS: leader of the Dortmund offensive pressing at the beginning. Had the 1-0 on the foot, but failed because of the brilliantly reacting newcomer. Then for a long time without access, before he hit the connection with a dream goal. Whipped his team on. Note 3.

11/32

YOUSSOUFA MOUKOKO: The 16-year-old caused danger with his lively manner, but made some wrong decisions. Switched to Haalands Pass too late (29th). Clearly offside with his supposed goal (36th). Grade: 4.5.

12/32

ERLING HAALAND: At the beginning it bounced off Süle (4th). Did a lot of sprints and thus tore gaps. His acceptance of the ball deserved a goal (39th). Got into the offside trap (53rd). With some good ideas that his teammates didn’t use. Note 3.

13/32

DONYELL MALEN (from 58th): Replaced Moukoko and immediately showed Upamecano his liveliness (59th). Bad positional play after Haaland’s nice preparatory work (61.). Was left without a degree. The new addition still needs time. Grade: 4.

14/32

MARCO PASALIC (from 78th): Came in for the final offensive for Reyna and thus made his debut with the BVB professionals. The 20-year-old remained without any significant action. No rating.

15/32

REINIER (from 84th): The newly crowned Olympic champion was substituted on for Bellingham. No rating.

16/32

MARIUS WOLF (from 84): The returnees came for Passlack and lined up on the right side of the defense. No rating.

17/32

FC BAYERN MÜNCHEN – MANUEL NEUER: With his brilliant parade against Reus (20th) an important factor early on and one of the match winners, but powerless when the BVB captain flipped to the next goal. Grade: 2.

18/32

Josip Stanisic: Not always safe when playing with the ball, especially in the many pressing phases of Dortmund in passage one, the home-grown man wobbled a few times. But solid in terms of combat. Note 3.

19/32

DAYOT UPAMECANO: Much safer than in the league opener against Gladbach, this time did not get carried away with unnecessary fouls or lack of concentration. With a duel rate of 75 percent, the best duel at FCB. Grade: 2.5.

20/32

NIKLAS SÜLE: A little more confident than Upamecano. Haaland braked time and again, and also came up with an excellent game opening – in contrast to the Dortmund central defenders. Grade: 2.

21/32

ALPHONSO DAVIES: Important rescue act on the 26th when he stole the ball from Moukoko’s foot while sprinting back. Also significantly involved in the 2-0. But also with a high error rate (24 ball losses – maximum value). Note 3.

22/32

JOSHUA KIMMICH: Toxic in a duel, sure in the passing game. He dared to do a lot of things in the opposing half and convinced with some clever lateral shifts. So everything as usual. Grade: 2.

23/32

LEON GORETZKA: Like Kimmich, a reliable constant in the center. Best ball conqueror at FCB with nine ball wins. Grade: 2.

24/32

SERGE GNABRY: Clearly better than the Gladbach game, replenished with a perfectly timed template for 1-0 self-confidence and was involved in many other good offensive actions. Also worked back consistently. Grade: 2.5.

25/32

THOMAS MÜLLER: He scored the 2-0 in the meantime. Otherwise without any noteworthy offensive action. Note 3.

26/32

KINGSLEY COMAN: Hard-working and hard-working as ever, with a good duel rate (71 percent), but without any personal income. Replaced shortly after half-time. Grade: 3.5.

27/32

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: Desperate his ex-club again and again. In addition to his double pack, he was also involved in the Müller-Tor. World class. Note 1.

28/32

LEROY SANE: Came in 49th for Coman. Put himself in the service of the team, but Sane didn’t manage anything offensively. Grade: 3.5.

29/32

CORENTIN TOLISSO: Came in the 73rd minute for Gnabry and initiated the decisive 3: 1 by Lewandowski with his win over Akanji. Top joker. Grade: 2.

30/32

JAMAL MUSIALA: Like Tolisso, I was allowed to take part in the place of Müller for almost a quarter of an hour. Indicated his potential with one or two good dribbles. Note 3.

31/32

BOUNA SARR: Replaced Stanisic just before the end. No rating.

32/32

ERIC MAXIM CHOUPO-MOTING: Came in 88th for Lewandowski. No rating.

Supercup: Moukoko at BVB in the starting line-up

Reus had once again reminded me that titles of any kind “only ever go over Bayern”. So on Tuesday evening, but the game should also be “a pointer” for the championship, as coach Marco Rose emphasized. Accordingly, both teams did it seriously: with the current top line-up, with all rigor and consistency.

After a minute’s silence in memory of Gerd Müller, there was no scanning in the almost traditional Supercup game, the eighth in this constellation in the past ten years. BVB young star Jude Bellingham had whipped up the 25,000 loud fans, the game started dynamically in heavy rain with Munich advantages.

Manuel Akanji (14th) blocked the first big chance Thomas Müller had, while Serge Gnabry shot over the goal while standing free (16th). BVB right-back Felix Passlack, who not only initiated these two scenes involuntarily, was hopelessly overwhelmed at the right rear. The 0: 1 and the 0: 2 also fell over his side.

In the Bayern goal, Manuel Neuer just barely flicked his right foot out against Reus (21st), the central defenders Niklas Süle and Dayot Upamecano pulled and pushed Haaland around to keep the angular Norwegian under control.

Rose had provided Haaland with Youssoufa Moukoko this time, who also got his chance (30th), Thorgan Hazard was injured.

Müller scores for Bayern shortly after the break

The Dortmund team staged their storm with steep passes, mostly played by Reus, with clear speed deficits in the guest defense. It remained intense and attractive: Lewandowski shot in the back of Axel Witsel (34th), Moukoko (36th) overcame both Neuer and Haaland (53rd) from an offside position, Gnabry fired just wide of the post (38th). Then Lewandowski met, Gnabry had flanked.

Dortmund tried to get an answer after the break, but was immediately caught off guard. Lewandowski put the ball struck in from the left with the heel past BVB goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, Müller pushed in under the observation of the new national coach Hansi Flick.

The rival’s resistance only subsided for a short time until Reus shot magically from 16 meters into the corner. It seemed to be a fiery finale, but Lewandowski pulled the plug.
