-It was definitely a very good game. We wanted to make a statement right from the start, as the first team on home soil in the Bundesliga tonight. I think we succeeded. The performance from everyone, from defence to attack, was at a very high level, and we were ice cold in the closing stages,” Harry Kane told Bayern’s website. No wonder, when Kane himself scored a hat-trick in a 16-minute period to a 6-0 victory. For Jürgen Klopp, this night must have been a true nightmare.
Because on Friday, the Global Head of Soccer for Red Bull had to watch the flagship club RB Leipzig being ridiculed by Bayern, the club he himself pushed as Borussia Dortmund coach “back in the days”.

RB Leipzig captain David Raum put words to what happened.
-It was a disaster, it was the worst possible scenario. We had high expectations and things were good in the beginning, but then it went from bad to worse. What must not happen is that we fall apart in the second half. We lost a lot of one-on-one duels, and then a lot happens here in Munich,” said the Leipzig captain after the game.
We imagine Jürgen Klopp holding on to his chair so as not to run out and take over the coaching job at RB Leipzig. Pep Guardiola said it dryly, when Klopp announced he would step down as Liverpool manager in 2024: “He’s like me, he’s coming back as coach”.

The 37-year-old Ole Werner was hired as head coach of RB Leipzig at the end of June. We wonder how many games the German will get before the club (and Klopp) press the catapult chair button.
