On a beautiful, sunny Saturday afternoon in Munich, Bayern Munich continued their pursuit of brilliance, this time in in the audience of Mainz 05, with a 3-1 victory to keep them atop of the Bundesliga table.

Thomas Tuchel, the coach of poor Mainz, was initially in an ecstatic mood when Shawn Parker put his side ahead in the first half, only for Bayern to eventually equalise and pull away from their visitors with two goals to spare. It was an irregular start, but a match that ended in yet another victory for the Bavarian champions.

Speaking after the game, Tuchel used an interesting analogy when comparing his own side to the superior firepower of Bayern Munich: “We’re here with a Volkswagen Beetle built in seventies against a Formula One car. So it’s normal that you’re overtaken in the end.”
