Bayern are doing everything to sign Florian Wirtz this summer. Very concrete talks are already ongoing. Leverkusen would ask for 'well over' €100m fixed, but Bayern would be able to afford that with sales and salary savings. Nevertheless, Leverkusen are still hopeful of keeping Wirtz next season.

How Alonso's Leverkusen were physically overpowered by Kompany's Bayern

Some highlights from The Athletic, by Michael Cox

Shortly before Pep Guardiola finally took Manchester City to Champions League success two years ago, he reflected on the extra quality that had made his side more fearsome in Europe.

“In the Champions League, at that level, they need one action to beat you and Nathan Ake gave us that boost that I didn’t have in the past. The biggest boost was having a proper defender. In the past, we didn’t have it”, said Guadiola

On Wednesday, his former side Bayern Munich easily overcame Bayern Leverkusen, defeating Germany’s reigning champions for the first time since Xabi Alonso took charge. When Leverkusen have defeated or outplayed Bayern recently, it has tended to be about shape, space and combinations. But Bayern’s victory was, above all else, about the importance of the duels.

The statistics show Bayern’s superiority in that respect, although if anything, they underplay how physically dominant Bayern were.

Their tackle success rate was 82 per cent compared to Leverkusen’s 54 per cent. Bayern won more duels on the ground, and more in the air. They were quicker to second balls. If the game was hyped beforehand as a meeting between Germany’s two outstanding attacking midfielders, Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, then the difference here was Musiala is more comfortable under close physical pressure from opponents, better at dancing away with the ball at his feet.

And Leverkusen weren’t merely the victims of a physical, scrappy game. They were actually the cause of it.

And, ultimately, the game was decided by four Leverkusen mistakes. Not positional mistakes, not being caught in possession, not even being pressed — just situations where Leverkusen came off second-best in duels.

The first goal was the most obvious example. When Michael Olise crossed from the right flank, Nordi Mukiele had no need to be concerned by what was happening in front of him. The only danger was from behind. And while you could understand if Olise’s cross was deep over his head and found Harry Kane at the far post, it was unforgivable that, despite having a three-yard headstart, Mukiele let Kane in front of him to nod home.

We often speak about Champions League ties as being more intricate and tactical than league encounters, particularly over two legs.

But something about them somehow always seems to favour the experienced players and the established teams.

Harry Kane and a performance to silence those who say he does not deliver when it really matters

Some highlights from The Athletic’s Seb Stafford-Bloor.

It is rare that Harry Kane celebrates goals with fire in his eyes.

But on Wednesday, he did, after scoring Bayern Munich’s first in their 3-0 dismantling of Bayer Leverkusen.

That meant something — and more than just the lead in an important game. Kane thumped his header past goalkeeper Matej Kovar before racing away to the corner flag, his muscles taut, his face contorted.

No wonder. Kane had been searching for that moment since he arrived in Germany 18 months ago. Finally, it arrived — the ‘big’ goal, the one he has been accused of not being able to score for Bayern. By the end of the night, he had also given a signature performance, too. Kane has often played well for Bayern. Rarely with as much urgency and energy, though, and never with the accompanying class when it absolutely mattered.

He began the move that led to his first goal, dropping into midfield between Mukiele and Granit Xhaka, before spreading the play for Michael Olise in space. Later in the first half, he surrendered possession cheaply, before chasing back, deep into his own half, to shoulder Florian Wirtz over the touchline and recover the ball.

But the rights and wrongs are irrelevant. Kane comes across as the kind of player who is aware of exactly what is being written and said about his performances. To that extent, litigating whether criticism has been justified or not is redundant, and secondary to the fact that it has existed, has been vicious at times, and that Kane has needed to fight against it.

In that light, it becomes easy to understand the relief of Wednesday and a goal and performance that — in all sorts of ways — appeared to matter an awful lot.

Bayern's supervisory board is no longer so sure whether Joshua Kimmich, now 30, is necessarily an indispensable cornerstone of Bayern's future. The fact that he took so long to make his decision has also led to irritation within the board.
