Doblete del joven alemán,
único motivo de felicidad de los bávaros tras semanas convulsas
Jamal Musiala es el calvo
ardiente al que se acogen en Múnich. El Bayern, en su momento más convulso de
la temporada, se olvidó de la eliminación de Champions League a manos del Paris
Saint Germain con una victoria ante el Wolfsburgo en la que el joven alemán de
18 años fue protagonista con un doblete (1-3).
Muchas dudas rondaban en torno
al equipo. El adiós a Europa y la nula relación entre Hansi Flick y
Salihamidzic pedían poner los pies en polvorosa, y así fue. Todo, gracias a el
nuevo talento descubierto por el Bayern, tras la ya explosión del curso pasado
de Alphonso Davies. Un tal Jamal Musiala, debutante con la absoluta de Alemania
y que hizo dos goles. Y vaya dos. El primero con sangre fría en el área,
quebrando a dos defensores y clavando el balón en el primer palo (15’). Más
tarde, con un cabezazo a lo Robert Lewandwoski, todavía ausente (37’).
Entre ambos goles, hicieron
acto de presencia también Choupo-Moting, que aprovechó una cantada de Casteels
(24’), así como el goleador Weghorst para sacar partido de una pérdida de balón
del Bayern en la salida y ponerla en el ángulo, lejos de Neuer (35’).
No obstante, a fiabilidad e la
máquina alemana no está a la altura de la del curso pasado. Mientras Musiala
tuvo el hat trick, arrebatado por Mbabu en la misma línea de gol, Phillips
cogió despistada a la zaga de Flick para poner más interés al duelo con un
remate certero cerca de Neuer (54’).
Ese gol no hizo que se
trastabillara sobre el césped el Bayern. Tuvo más solidez si cabe en defensa y
buscó el cuarto para aumentar la renta, y lo rozaron Sané y Davies. Eso sí, no
evitó el susto, en botas de Roussillon, que entró por el lado de Boateng y casi
rozó el empate en el tramo final del encuentro. El único pero es que Lucas
Hernández se fue lesionado en el último minuto.
