Overview
- Bayern overturned a 0-1 half-time deficit to beat RB Leipzig 5-1, with the coach noting his players ran about six kilometers more than their opponents after the break.
- Harry Kane said Vincent Kompany pledged from the outset that Bayern would be “ruthless” and described a mindset of always pushing for the next goal; he scored his 21st league goal in the win.
- Manuel Neuer drew praise from Kane as a matchwinner after key saves kept Bayern in control during Leipzig’s strongest spell.
- Squad options strengthened as Alphonso Davies added minutes and Jamal Musiala made a brief return from injury, immediately assisting the fifth goal.
- Unbeaten Bayern hold an 11-point lead over Borussia Dortmund, and Kane said he would not complain if the title is sealed in March or April, with Union Saint-Gilloise up next in the Champions League.
