Nine shots to one, a late scare, and a record day for Neuer that ended early.

Kimmich and Karl scored, both from Kane passes, and Bayern go into the international break top on 21 points. But Neuer limped off before half-time.

After Madrid, a ground where Bayern have often struggled.

Mainz have one home point from four games, but they've scored in every league game since the opening day. Musiala is back in training, Davies may be rested, and Dortmund are level on points.

The side that doesn't concede conceded twice.

Bayern, without four attackers and their manager, won 2–0 in Madrid and kept their first clean sheet since September. It's their first ever win away at Atlético.

Madrid, against the side that doesn't concede.

Atlético are unbeaten in nine and have let in three goals in that run. Bayern arrive with four attackers out, Olise carrying a knee problem, and Danks still standing in for Kompany.

Bayern made the chances. Dortmund took the point.

Bayern created 4.83 expected goals to Dortmund's 0.70, hit the woodwork four times and saw Kane miss a penalty. Then Fábio Silva scored in the 89th minute. Both teams stay unbeaten, and Bayern stay top on goal difference.

The best attack against the best defence. Level on points.

Bayern and Dortmund both have 17 points and both are unbeaten in the league. Bayern have scored 25; Dortmund have conceded four. Danks is still in charge, Urbig is in goal, and Kimmich trained with the team for the first time on Friday.

The holders, the underdog, and a cup upset from 2000.

Bayern start the defence of the DFB-Pokal at home to Magdeburg, the side that knocked them out 26 years ago. Danks is still in charge, Urbig is in goal, and Dortmund come to Munich on Saturday.

He came to Munich to win something. Now he's the best player in the world.

Harry Kane arrived in 2023 without a trophy to his name. On Monday night in London he became the first Bayern player to win the Ballon d'Or since Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1981, and the first Englishman since Michael Owen in 2001.

Six players and the manager missing. Top of the league.

Bayern went to the only Bundesliga side with a perfect home record and won it with Urbig in goal, Laimer in midfield and Danks on the touchline. They conceded late again. This time they had the answer.

Without the manager, against a perfect home record.

Vincent Kompany is in hospital and will be out for weeks. Aaron Danks takes charge at Freiburg, who are third, a point behind, and have won every home game they've played this season. Kimmich, Díaz and Kim are out too.

Ahead again. Caught again.

Without Olise and Kimmich, Bayern came from behind against the champions of England and led with eight minutes left. Then Declan Rice scored. A week after Stavanger, it's the second Champions League lead in a row that Bayern haven't held.

The biggest test yet, with the team short.

Bayern top the Bundesliga and have scored eight in two Champions League games. Tonight they face the only side yet to concede, without Olise, without Kimmich, and possibly without Kompany on the touchline.

The strongest XI showed up. Leipzig never did.

All week the worry was the space behind Bayern's high line. Instead Bayern found the space behind Leipzig's. A Díaz hat-trick, Kane's 100th game, and Bayern go top for the night.

Two draws, and now the first real test.

Leipzig haven't conceded at home all season. Away from home, in the league and Europe, they have lost every game. Which Leipzig turns up at the Allianz Arena?

Bayern fixed it at half-time. Then they threw it away.

Six changes, 0–2 down, three goals in 17 minutes, then a red card for Olise and a 90th-minute equaliser. What it tells us about selection.

Neuer's out. And another wall is coming.

Urbig starts in Stavanger, on a plastic pitch, against a 4-4-2 that hasn't lost at home in over a year. The test Bayern still haven't passed convincingly.

We said Augsburg wouldn't sit deep. They did.

An 8-second goal, three disallowed Bayern goals and a point rescued by Brown. What it tells us, and what we got wrong.

Augsburg won't sit deep. That's what makes them dangerous.

Issue 01 asked whether Bayern can break a deep block. Today's opponent is the last team to beat them in the league, and they did it by attacking. Win, and Bayern go top: Dortmund drew last night.

Michael Olise is Bayern's best player. That's exactly why the contract is hard.

Eight goals and three assists in seven games. He has added shooting to the creativity that made him the Bundesliga's best player last season. Now Bayern have to decide what keeping him is worth, and whether to give him a way out.

Schalke and Union set the same trap. Bayern only solved one of them.

The easy story is finishing: nothing from 2.10 xG, seven from 3.77. The better story is where the ball went before the shot, and who was on the pitch to take it there.
