We let Wolfsburg get back in the game. "The win was very important for us as are the three points," said Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann. We made mistakes and allowed too much.

Although the statements, as often the case in the media cauldron surrounding the record champions, were overblown, a defeat or draw against Wolfsburg would have certainly opened the floodgates for a media circus. They will also stress that this win was necessary in a week in which captain and currently injured goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer gave a controversial double interview with The Athletic and Süddeutsche Zeitung. The Wolves scored a second in the 81st minute when Mattias Svanberg finally converted one of his many chances. “We take the three points and move forward." “We scored three goals from the first three chances, which made it easier for us.” But the triumph over Wolfsburg also showed plenty of shortcomings that a more effective opponent might have better explored.

Bayern Munich held on despite Joshua Kimmich's send-off to beat Wolfsburg 4-2 and return to the top of the Bundesliga on Sunday.

“We were too careless after the third goal, not concentrated enough and we allowed a bit too much. “The result was important, the victory matters above all else,” Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said. Kimmich was sent off with his second yellow card in the 54th but Wolfsburg was unable to make its dominance count as the visitors delivered a lesson in efficiency.

There have been some players who have played for both Manchester United and Bayern Munich. See who made it to the top five list.

Owen began his career at Bayern Munich where he made 145 appearances for The Bavarians and scored 5 times in that spell. He was the combative midfielder United’s midfield needed, possessing the ability to inject speed and energy into Ferguson’s tactical plans, but it failed to transpire in such a manner due to the injuries he sustained. Having made a total of 226 appearances for Ajax, he also made 90 appearances for The Red Devils in which he scored four times. Schweinsteiger – regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time, due to his tactical awareness, positioning, passing and also due to his ability to read and control the flow of the game. He was then sent back to Manchester United again where he won two Premier League titles with them in his second spell. He is also renowned for managing clubs like Manchester City, Stoke City, and Southampton. Although most of his playing days revolved in England, he had a brief spell in Germany with Bayern Munich when he was loaned to the Bavarians. An injury-hit side like theirs is going to relish the experience of a player like him in their ranks. The latest addition to the squad of Erik Ten Haag, Sabitzer prized for his ability to play in different areas of the pitch. He opened Blind’s eyes to a different style of coaching. He made 177 appearances and scored 40 goals after moving to Bayern Munich in 2021. Combative, physical and in possession of a powerful long-range shot, his attitude and his concentration towards the game have been lauded by many managers.
