‘A new dimension of football’: experts bow to Bayern | OneFootball

With a tactical masterclass and immense passion, FC Bayern made another statement in the Champions League with their 2-1 victory in Paris—and in doing so, not only stunned defending champions PSG, but also left the experts in awe.

Matthias Sammer, chief critic and expert at Amazon Prime Video, had nothing but praise for the German record champions after the match:

“That was a new dimension of football,” enthused the former European champion. “I am moved, because it’s a German team—with German virtues, even if that sounds like 1888.”

Sammer especially praised the collective performance of the Munich side: “There are a thousand reasons why they do it so well, but to sum it up: At Bayern, everyone gets involved! A wonderful example for our youth. This is the benchmark for many constellations in our football. Others should take this as a model.”

Mats Hummels, who joined Sammer as an expert, was also impressed by Bayern’s performance: “It was wonderful to watch. Everyone was aggressive, everyone was always mentally present. They broke Paris, up until the red card it was a class difference!”

Even after João Neves’ goal to make it 2-1, the team never let anything slip, said Hummels: “You never had the feeling they weren’t in control.”

“They have everything” – Bayern the new top favorite?

Four games, four wins—FC Bayern are confidently leading the Champions League group stage. For Hummels, the German record champions are much more than just a title contender: “They have everything! Individual quality, team spirit, the plan, the coach—and two or three players who will soon return and bring even more quality.”

With 16 consecutive competitive wins, an impressive mentality, and a team that continues to grow together under Vincent Kompany, FC Bayern truly seem to be operating on another level right now—or, as Sammer put it: “That was not just football. That was a statement.”
