Bayern Munich 4-0 FC Koln: 4 Talking Points

Lewandowski clinical

Lewandowski does it every week for Bayern Munich, but he should get credit for being able to score consistently despite fewer chances created

Sure, this happens pretty much every week. Robert Lewandowski has 9 goals in 5 games for Bayern Munich. That's a record-equalling tally for the first five games, so this is just an expectation now, right? But the 4-0 scoreline conveniently hides the fact that Bayern created precious little until about the 60th minute.

The Polish striker go two clear chances and he took them both. Bayern kicked it up a notch after the penalty and sending off, beginning to create more, but Lewandowski should get credit for putting away his chances when he did.

The home side were under some pressure towards the end of the first half and the start of the second half as Koln threatened to get back into the game. It was Lewandowski's goals that deflated the Koln bubble and allowed Bayern time on the ball to then build from midfield.
