They’ve had their difficulties to contend with, including the odd defeat against supposedly weaker opponents, but for all that Bayern München remain the team setting the standard in the opening half of this Bun- desliga season. Why? Among other things, because they have young tal- ents like Jamal Musiala stepping up to the mark when needed, as well as the more experienced likes of Kingsley Coman and Corentin Tolisso. And, of course, they have the best centre-forward in the business, still going strong.
