Bayern Munich needed something to go right.
After two consecutive Bundesliga matches without a win, the Bavarians needed a rest and some confidence to get back on the right track as red hot Hoffenheim entered the Allianz Arena.
And what a response Bayern Munich gave.
The Bavarians won 5-1 against a very game and intense Hoffenheim side, but for Serge Gnabry, who started at the attacking midfielder, it was all about the rest, the chance to re-energize, and the push to get off to a good start.
“We had
a good week of training. We recovered, regenerated well and were fresh today. We had a good first 20 minutes. We could’ve played a bit better and scored more goals with Hoffenheim down to 10 men. But we’re happy with the win,” said Gnabry (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Sure, it helped that Hoffenheim was hit with a red card n the 17th minute and gave up two penalty kicks, but Bayern Munich was strong and focused from the outset. Despite a really competitive effort from Hoffenheim, the Bavarians were able to race away for the victory.
