FC Bayern is also back in the Bundesliga.
Mainz 05 gets a lot of trouble in the Allianz Arena.
The tz individual review.
Munich – FC Bayern is back on track in the Bundesliga.
Thomas Tuchel's team had no problems with second-to-last Mainz 05 and ended up celebrating an 8-1 win.
Harry Kane once again excels with a hat-trick.
The
tz
individual review:
Manuel Neuer
Initiated the opening goal with a strong pass.
When he scored the goal, he seemed a bit surprised that the ball went through the wall - and was therefore powerless.
Little busy in the offensive spectacle that followed.
Note 3
Joshua Kimmich
The day before the game, Thomas Tuchel revealed that Kimmich could play “freer” as a right-back than at six.
This plan worked against Mainz: the national player had a lot of space on the right wing, which he used for dangerous chip balls and lateral shifts.
Strong idea.
Grade: 2
Eric Dier
He played a role in central defense alongside de Ligt and also showed why against Mainz: he impressed with clever play structure and resolute duels.
He also prepared the third goal for his Buddy Kane with his crossbar header.
Note 1
Matthijs de Ligt
Continuing to consolidate his demands as head of defense and appear confident as a result.
Also attracted attention with loud commands.
Grade: 2

Alphonso Davies
Got a blow to the lip and had to leave the field bleeding after 18 minutes.
Bitter for the Canadian, who only just returned to the starting lineup after his medial ligament injury.
Leon Goretzka
Gave some entertainment during the week when he posted a photo from the gym - with the punching bag draped in a Paris Saint-Germain jersey.
The extra shift paid off against Mainz: Goretzka not only defended strongly in the double six, but also scored his first goal since September to make it 2-0 and prepared the 3-0 with a great chip ball.
A very strong game from the national player, who also scored to make the final score 8-1.

Konrad Laimer
Used his dynamism to win the ball in midfield and keep the offensive artists' backs free.
That's why he wasn't as noticeable as his teammates - but that's not a bad thing for a defensive midfielder.
Grade: 2
Leroy Sane
The only player who got lost in the offensive spectacle.
Had few actions and no involvement in goals.
You can currently notice the pain in Sané's patellar tendon, which he has been playing with for weeks.
Note 3
Thomas Müller
Is in impressive shape.
Müller was involved in virtually every offensive action and also initiated the pressing with his commands.
Before the opening goal, played an outstanding ball to Musiala, which looks easy, but only very few players can do it at this speed.
Müller is one of them.
Note 1
Jamal Musiala
One almost felt sorry for the Mainz defenders, who slid into space countless times after Musiala's physical deceptions.
The youngster inimitable dribbled his way through the tightest spaces and could hardly be separated from the ball.
Collected two assists and then scored himself. Outstanding performance.
Note 1
Harry Kane
Scored his goals of the season 28, 29 and 30 and is well on his way to breaking Lewandowski's 41-goal mark.
Kane's full strength was not only shown in the number of hits, but also in outstanding passes like before Musiala's 5-1 win: The striker placed the ball on his teammate as he fell from the touchline - and once again showed what an outstanding player he was in addition to all the goals is a footballer.
Note 1
Raphael Guerreiro (from 18th minute)
After his substitution, he provided additional momentum on the left side and was not challenged much defensively.
