FC Bayern Munich says goodbye to the winter break with a win against Wolfsburg.

Benjamin Pavard left work a little earlier.

Munich - FC Bayern Munich * let it rip again at the end of the year: They scored 4-0 against VfL Wolfsburg, and it was the perfect end for Julian Nagelsmann's team.

The record champions go into the winter break with 43 points and have at least six more points than the closest pursuer from Dortmund.

The Bavarian goal machine only got really hot against the wolves in the second half.

As in the Tuesday game against Stuttgart (final score: 5: 0), Bayern “only” led 1: 0 at the break on Friday.

Thomas Müller had put Munich in the lead after seven minutes.

After the break, the Reds turned up again and scored goals like on the assembly line.

Dayot Upamecano (57th), Leroy Sané (59th) and Robert Lewandowski (87th) made the four-pack perfect.

Benjamin Pavard: Bayern star disappears in the middle of the game in the catacombs

In addition to the goals, there was a highlight that had to do with accuracy - but in a slightly different sense.

What happened?

83 minutes: Bayern easily downplay their victory and let the ball run. Nagelsmann wants to change one last time, Malik Tillman is already ready. But suddenly Benjamin Pavard runs off the pitch as if stung by a tarantula, sprints down the stairs at the edge of the field and disappears into the catacombs. The viewer remains confused at first, but quickly realizes: Pavard has to go!

Sat.1 commentator Wolff Fuss and expert Stefan Kuntz also recognize the situation.

Kuntz, former U21 national coach and meanwhile national coach of Turkey, said with a laugh: “Pavard has to go to the bathroom?

Great. ”On the sidelines there was also a short chaos, because Tillman was still waiting for his substitution.

Jamal Musiala was supposed to make room for him, his 42 had already lit up on the board and the youngster was on his way to the bank.

But Pavard was still on the road!

So Nagelsmann decided without further ado and left Musiala on the field.

Pavard has been replaced.

And in the end, “Bambi” also prepared Lewandowski's dream goal - everything was done right.

Nagelsmann clarified the situation after the game at the press conference: “He said briefly in French that he had to go to the bathroom.

But then he still played three or four passes.

When the ball was on the other side, it disappeared into the catacombs.

The fourth official didn't notice that we weren't replacing Jamal after all.

I then checked again briefly to see if Benji was coming, but he didn't, so we made the change differently. "

The reactions from the network were of course not long in coming.

One user wrote: "Benjamin Pavard is the first player to be replaced from the toilet."

Overall, Pavard did a very good job.

The world champion was stable on the defensive - but one teammate fell away.

The individual criticism of the Bayern victory.
