The success of the German Champions with AEK Athens, is a labour victory. Playful, FC Bayern remains much guilty. Only Serge Gnabry takes the opportunity to strengthen his Status with the record master.
Ease? Liberated Play? A Casual Gala Football? All of this was not to be seen from the FC Bayern Munich at the host’s game in Athens. All the experts were in front of the supposedly easy task for Bayern in group E agreed that not to be expected from the Greek Champions AEK with much resistance would be. An error of judgment, but also by the fact that the German record champion for a long no means, the Greeks their game to impose. Too slow and too cumbersome, Munich were the better scoring chances, had the Athenians in the first half, the stuffy game.
Gnabry is better than Ribery and Müller?
The only light in the game of Bayern Serge Gnabry. Again and again broke the 23-Year-old on the left, dangerous to the front and employed several of the other players. Gnabry took advantage of the injury absence of Franck Riberys out of conditional and urged for more starting operations in important Games. While Gnabry whirled, stewed the one who was once of the surprising moments in the Bayern game in charge, on the Bank. Thomas Müller had to be exactly as in the last Bundesliga match in Wolfsburg, watch first. When he was in the 75. Minute for Gnabry came on as a substitute, it was decided the game already, thanks to Gnabry.

The Bayern-double strike with goals from Javi Martinez (61. Minute) and Robert Lewandowski (63.) was Gnabry involved is crucial: His Pass to Mats Hummels opened the first gate. The 0:2 of the most beautiful turn of Munich: Gnabry sent Rafinha by hoe in the direction of the base line, Lewandowski only had to dust.
The next step of the crisis management
“We have made a very, very good game, the opponent dominated. The victory is fully deserved, even in a playful it was a good performance,” said Bayern coach Kovac is perhaps a little too euphoric, because in the second game after thinking Bayern dignified press conference from Friday, which should be the prelude to the Mission crisis management, remained Kovacs Team much guilty. “It was not very difficult, the place was good,” said Arjen Robben. “We played in the first half, the final Pass has been lacking. But we knew that. After the goal from Javi relief was there.”
And Serge Gnabry? Wanted to say after the game in Athens, the better. He didn’t have to. He had already on the pitch did the talking.
