Post MatchKimmich leads, Karl shines — Bayern beat Gladbach 3–0 to make history
Joshua Kimmich’s leadership, Raphaël Guerreiro’s composure, and Lennart Karl’s brilliance guided FC Bayern to a commanding 3–0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach — a result that not only maintained their perfect start to the season but also etched their name into European football history.
Kimmich opens the way
Bayern’s dominance was clear from the opening whistle, yet patience was required to break through Gladbach’s resistance. It was their captain, Joshua Kimmich, who provided the breakthrough — a symbol of Bayern’s mentality. His initial shot was blocked, but Kimmich reacted instantly to bury the rebound, putting Bayern ahead after the hour mark. It was a goal full of determination and leadership, the spark that changed everything.
With his precision passing, work rate, and presence, Kimmich embodied the Bayern spirit — calm under pressure and relentless in pursuit of victory.
Guerreiro secures control
Moments later, Bayern’s momentum turned into control. Michael Olise threaded a perfect pass through the lines, and Raphaël Guerreiro showed his trademark composure to finish coolly for 2–0. It was the type of goal that reflects Vincent Kompany’s style — patient buildup, precision execution, and total authority.
Even a late Gladbach penalty miss couldn’t disrupt Bayern’s rhythm, as the reigning champions managed every phase of the game with confidence and maturity.
Karl’s brilliance seals perfection
Then came the moment that will be replayed over and over again. Lennart Karl, the 17-year-old sensation, produced a moment of pure class — receiving the ball outside the box and curling it into the top corner. A stunning strike that crowned Bayern’s performance and underlined the arrival of a new star at the Allianz Arena.
