Overview
- Serge Gnabry opened the scoring before Nicolas Jackson’s header and a Loïc Badé own goal made it 3-0 by halftime at the Allianz Arena.
- Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Díaz began on the bench as Bayern rotated, with Chelsea loanee Jackson scoring his first Bundesliga goal for the club.
- Leverkusen’s Bundesliga-record 37-match away unbeaten run ended, their first league defeat under coach Kasper Hjulmand.
- Bayern’s run to 15 wins is the best season start in Europe’s top five leagues and the result kept a five-point cushion at the top of the Bundesliga.
- Kompany called the selection changes “competition” and targeted Paris with confidence, while Hjulmand acknowledged Bayern were the better side.
