Overview
- Bayern overturned a 0-2 deficit to beat Freiburg 6-2, with Michael Olise scoring twice and supplying three assists.
- Seventeen-year-old Lennart Karl scored and created a goal to become Bayern’s youngest player to do both in a Bundesliga match, then departed on 71 minutes after a hip knock that Vincent Kompany said he hoped was nothing serious.
- The victory preserved Bayern’s unbeaten league start, kept them first on 31 points, and matched a 52-year mark of 43 consecutive rounds leading the Bundesliga.
- Kompany urged measured expectations for Karl and promised support during any dips, while the teenager dismissed comparisons to Lionel Messi and called the Argentine his idol.
- Bayern next visit Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday, with winger Luis Díaz suspended for the tie and Harry Kane describing the comeback as showing “the true face” of the team.
