In a match that witnessed nearly 350,000 ticket requests, Bayern Munich dominated throughout the match, but their control was not dangerous enough for goalkeeper Haradeki.
Musiala’s Performance
Bayern Munich’s midfield star, Jamal Musiala, relied on presenting an artistic display of prodigious skill, showing quick reactions and attempts to penetrate deep in the first half.
Musiala had the most dangerous chance of the match in the 48th minute, but his shot bounced off the right post.
In terms of numbers, Musiala had just two shots on goal, touched the ball 62 times, and made 36 successful passes, a rate of 88%.
Wirtz’s Performance
Florian Wirtz played a key role in helping Bayer Leverkusen win the German league title last season, but against Bayern Munich, he became more present in his team’s area.
Wirtz made a mistake that earned him his first yellow card of the 2024-2025 season, after accidentally kicking Kim Min-ja in the face in the 58th minute.
Vertz did not shoot the ball on or off goal, while he made only two key passes and completed 15 accurate passes, 60% of his total passes.
