With the away trip to St. Pauli sandwiched between Bayern Munich's crucial Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid, it made sense for Vincent Kompany to rest most of their starters.
Despite the heavy rotation, Bayern started the game against St. Pauli on front foot as Jamal Musiala headed home in the 9th minute. The defending Bundesliga champions maintained the pressure in the first half but were denied twice by the woodwork.
Come the second half, Leon Goretzka and Michael Olise delivered a quickfire double in the span of 60 seconds to seal the fate of the home side. Nicolas Jackson found a confidence-boosting goal just ten minutes later. Raphael Guerreiro topped off this captivating team performance with a goal of his own. Lets have a look at key takeaways from Die Roten's comfortable win against St. Pauli.
