Overview
- Bayern beat Bayer Leverkusen 3–0 with first‑half goals from Serge Gnabry and Nicolas Jackson plus a Loïc Badé own goal as Vincent Kompany rested Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Díaz from the start.
- The victory extended Bayern’s all‑competitions winning streak to 15, building on a top‑five‑leagues benchmark noted after 14 straight.
- Kompany and sporting director Max Eberl framed the rotation as a planned move driven by a tight run of fixtures before Tuesday’s Champions League trip to PSG.
- Mainz drew 1–1 at home with Werder Bremen after Silvan Widmer’s opener was cancelled by Jens Stage’s late volley, leaving Mainz winless in five league matches and stuck in 17th without a home win.
- Werder are unbeaten in four league games, with club figures calling the point in Mainz flattering and acknowledging the hosts were stronger for long stretches.
