Bayern Munich: Top three performances in Hinrunde 2020/21
Resilient performance against Bayer Leverkusen
The final performance on this list is another resilient display from the defending Champions. Flick’s men have struggled to get wins after the international break in November. They had to share points on three occasions, but the slip-ups were not punished as other rivals were simultaneously dropping points.
Die Roten were second in the table before the final game week before the winter break. They travelled away to league leaders Bayer Leverkusen with the opportunity of moving back to the top through a victory. Bayern managed to clinch the victory, but it was not a vintage performance.
The victory in Leverkusen showed two things- Lewandowski’s ability to come clutch and Bayern’s ability to dig deep to grind results. The Polish striker scored a brace to help Die Roten to come from behind to claim all three points. It was a thrilling game as both sides looked threatening in the final third.
