Bayern's victory was a stark contrast to their recent performances in the Champions League, where they drew 3-3 with Viking FK and 2-2 with FC Augsburg. However, against Leipzig, the reigning champions were their usual dominant selves. Luis Díaz opened the scoring after 12 minutes, with Joshua Kimmich providing a lovely pass. Bayern then quickly extended their lead to 3-0 through Aleksandar Pavlovic and Michael Olise.
Harry Kane, who had already scored his 102nd Bundesliga goal, was instrumental in setting up the 3-0 goal for Olise and also provided an assist for Díaz's second goal. The Colombian then sealed his hat-trick in the 69th minute, but Bayern's momentum was short-lived as they were forced to take their foot off the gas. Leipzig picked up a consolation goal in the dying minutes of the game, but it was too little, too late.
Bayern's win sees them reclaim the top spot in the Bundesliga, with Leipzig now set to face Real Madrid in the Champions League. The Bavarians will look to build on this momentum when they face Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday.
