There's something rather comedic about watching a Bayern match with Spanish commentators. And not just because my brain seems to think it should translate the Spanish into German, because clearly, German and Bayern are synonymous. No, it's the fact that apparently all commentators who work for ESPN, be they English- or Spanish-speaking, love Bastian Schweinsteiger with a fiery passion. One might have thought he was man of the match today, listening to them talk, despite the fact that he didn't play as he's out with a ligament injury in his ankle (this would be a good time to send him healing thoughts!). But there were also some beautiful turns of phrase, including discussing the "tranquility and absolute peace" with which Philipp Lahm plays.
All in all, it was a good match. Our fullbacks proved that LVG's tendency to play people out of position wasn't all crazy, as both Lahm and Rafinha looked like wingers for most of the match because of how far forward we played. Yeah, we missed some chances (poor Arjen Robben wanted a goal more than anything), but it was a solid win and we have much to be happy about (especially since CL action resumes this week...well, not for us, but CL action resumes anyway).
Next week, we're away to Freiburg.
