Bayern low-key played a 3-4-3 when Alonso was in the game, with Alaba, Alonso, and Boateng at the back; Bernat, Thiago, Kimmich, and Lahm the midfield; and Ribery, Lewandowski, and Robben the attackers.
@donnyy dude did you watch the game? 94' Robben gets past 2 defenders on highest speed and he could dive any moment and probably would be rewarded with penalty, but he didn't. He believed in his own strength to finish his run with a ball in the back of the net. He's the player that comes first to training and leaves last. Hard worker, who didn't deserve all those injuries. Robben has a talent of Messi and hard-work attitude of Ronaldo.
@donnyy Interesting comment, Robben has 12 goals and 7 assists in 19 games he played. He is also the third best dribbler in Bundesliga. Only a handfull of players on the planet have the combination of an one point per game average, top dribbler, top assistant and top key passer. You might wanna think again again kid. Or better, you might want to think at all for a change ...
@fafaq It is but I pointed out how an old squad gets tired at the end of the season. In the first half of the league Bayern won with ease against them,
Bayern sold Benatia to Juventus. Unbelievably they got €17m for him, a 30-year old bench-warmer! Guaranteed Michael Reschke will be sent to Brussells to do Brexit negotiations. Rumours are Renato Sanches will be sold to Man Utd to fund a swoop for Leon Goretzka. Given how stupid Utd are with money nowadays, I expect a £45m fee (minimum) to be set by Munich.
@SteveHyland Unbelievably they got 17M for him? Lmao Aren't we talking about the same player they paid 26M 3 seasons ago? In case you have been living under the rock, the way the market is inflated now 17M is a pure bargain for a player of his caliber. He is a good back up player, and also took pay-cut to join us instead of picking Bayern where he would be a bench-warmer as well.
@DelJuve- If you pay €26m for a 27-year old player (when they're at peak) and take a loss of only €9m when they are 30 (when they are on the downhill slope), you have done some excellent business and the buying team has simply been conned. If you're happy for your team to spend that much on a backup then fine, but he isn't worth €17m and actually never was. Bayern's hierarchy are laughing right now.
@SteveHyland you're pretty wrong. The player transfer fee has seen an inflation of around 20-30% in the past few years. So 26M three years ago is today's 50M. 30 years is not at all old age. Barca offloaded Alves due to being old (34 yrs), but he is the best right back in the world this season at Juve and one of the main reasons of their success.
Banatia has 5 years of career against him and I think it will be a win-win situation for both party. He was a failure at Bayern, but he could be a big success at Juve.
@SteveHyland €17m might be a bit on the high side, but in today’s inflated market securing a top defender who’s happy accepting a bench role and accept pay-cut is almost impossible to find. You won't find a better and cheaper back-up player. He picked our bench over Bayern’s, in a world where Bayern is hailed as a greater club than us. That is loyalty right there. A player who will give his all for the shirt, and already knows the league well. If you have actually seen his games this season you would know that he has improved a lot this season, and has gone back to his Roma's form.
Can't wait to see RB Leipzig in the CL.
@What4: Why? They're not Champions. They're rubbish!
@Red_Card Rubbish? Why is that...?
Excellent 2nd half from Bayern. Lewandowski has now become the first player in over 40 years to score 30 goals in back-to-back seasons.
@SteveHyland And he will probably do it again next season.
@felipe9525 will definitely do it again next season. Best #9 in the world
@DelJuve one of the best along with Crsitiano & Suarez. Closely followed by Higuain, Cavani, Zlatan etc.
Bayern are insane. Never stop.

Robben could be Messi's true rival. But injuries. . .
@fervour21 , True that.
@fervour21 no robben only gets results from diving whereas messi is actually skilled,

@donnyy Robben is more crucial for Bayern than Messi fro Barca...

@donnyy donnyy this has to be the dumbest comment I have ever seen on this site, and that says alot.
I feel very sorry for Leipzig, they deserved at least a point here. keep going Leipzig
That's what you get when you park the bus, best regards Mourinho.
@Byakuya some people can't forget mourinho , even when if they sleep , they see him coming
what a match
what a game
madness
Bayern avg age: 29.36 (28.63 after sub) Leipzig avg age: 23.81 Age certainly is an important factor, specially at the end of the season.
@felipe9525 experience is also important. specially at the end of the game :D
@fafaq It is but I pointed out how an old squad gets tired at the end of the season. In the first half of the league Bayern won with ease against them,
@felipe9525 yep
