As it happened
Bayern Munich welcomed RB Leipzig last night at Allianz Arena. Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel played his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation, where Thomas Muller played as a center-forward. Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman played as the two wingers. Besides, Leipzig manager Marco Rose set up his team formation with a unique 4-2-2-2.
However, the match started with Bayern Munich dominating the visitors. As the home team, Bayern got tremendous support from the gallery.
