"With Bayern playing their third match in the space of eight days, Vincent Kompany understandably fielded a heavily rotated squad by making six changes to the XI that started in the 4-0 victory over Club Brugge just three days earlier. The game was truly a tale of two halves as the attack failed to click during the first half despite having a man advantage."
"During the opening 45-minute period, Bayern enjoyed 81% ball possession and fired off eight shots, but managed only two on target. Monchengladbach defended resolutely, and Bayern had no answer for the home team's compact formation. Simply put, Die Roten's attack looked flat after Luis Diaz failed to give his team the lead inside five minutes from roughly ten yards from the goal."
Bayern Munich visited Borussia-Park and defeated Monchengladbach 3-0. Monchengladbach played with ten men from the 18th minute after right-back Jens Castrop was sent off following VAR review for a high tackle on Luis Diaz. Bayern dominated possession but failed to score in the first half despite 81% possession and eight shots, only two on target. Joshua Kimmich, Raphael Guerreiro, and 17-year-old Lennart Karl scored in the second half, with Karl producing a spectacular long-range strike. Vincent Kompany made six changes after the Club Brugge win. Fixture congestion and limited squad depth raise concerns about fatigue.
