Bayern Munich displayed a stellar performance as they triumphed over Werder Bremen with a resounding 5-0 victory. The match showcased the exceptional talent of new signing Michael Olise, who played a pivotal role in securing the win. While Olise shone brightly, the entire starting XI, comprising players from the previous season, exhibited a dramatic improvement in their style of play under manager Vincent Kompany.

The game against Werder Bremen highlighted Bayern Munich's defensive prowess, with the opposition failing to muster a single shot on goal and registering 0.0 expected goals (xG). The defensive line was so solid that it was suggested even a top goalkeeper like Marc-André ter Stegen could have preserved a clean sheet. Michael Olise's standout performance on the field left Premier League clubs rueing their decision to let the promising winger join Bayern Munich at a bargain price. Olise's choice to join the German giants underscores the allure and ambition of playing for such a prestigious club.

The match saw Bayern Munich scoring goals with precision and flair, particularly from counterpressing situations. The opening goal by Olise was a result of Harry Kane's pressing that disrupted Werder Bremen's attempt to build from the back during a goal kick. This style of play harked back to the ruthless pressing tactics employed by former coach Hansi Flick, debunking any doubts about Kane's compatibility with a high-pressing system. The dominant victory against Werder Bremen sets a high standard for Bayern Munich as they prepare to face Bayer Leverkusen in their upcoming fixture.
