When Kimmich was sent off for a second bookable offence a short while later, the Wolves sought to press home their advantage and could have scored again when Baku had a free header inside the six-yard box, but he could only direct it straight at Yann Sommer. They didn't need long to signal their intent to do just that, with Coman's in-swinging cross from the left in the ninth minute evading Thomas Müller's outstretched boot and deceiving Koen Casteels on its way into the far corner. Wins for Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund on Saturday meant the onus was very much on Julian Nagelsmann's side here to follow suit and defend their narrow lead at the top of the table.

Although the statements, as often the case in the media cauldron surrounding the record champions, were overblown, a defeat or draw against Wolfsburg would have certainly opened the floodgates for a media circus. They will also stress that this win was necessary in a week in which captain and currently injured goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer gave a controversial double interview with The Athletic and Süddeutsche Zeitung. The Wolves scored a second in the 81st minute when Mattias Svanberg finally converted one of his many chances. “We take the three points and move forward." “We scored three goals from the first three chances, which made it easier for us.” But the triumph over Wolfsburg also showed plenty of shortcomings that a more effective opponent might have better explored.

Bayern Munich held on despite Joshua Kimmich's send-off to beat Wolfsburg 4-2 and return to the top of the Bundesliga on Sunday.

“We were too careless after the third goal, not concentrated enough and we allowed a bit too much. “The result was important, the victory matters above all else,” Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said.

A great cross from the Portuguese was headed into the back of the net by Coman with a lovely touch. Soon after, Wolfsburg responded when Svanberg scored from a messy move in the area. Two games from the Portuguese and two assists. It was the German's first red card for the Bavarians. Joao Cancelo and Alphonso Davies on the flanks and Muller and Musiala up front. In the second half, Joshua Kimmich's dismissal preceded Jamal Musiala's wonder goal.

Jamal Musiala went on an excellent solo run through the Wolfsburg team before firing in Bayern Munich's fourth goal in the Bundesliga clash on Sunday.

No Bundesliga win during 2023? No problem. Seven injured players? Don't worry about it. Red card after 54 minutes? No stress. Bayern always bounces back. Here's ...

With an innocent cross and a sublime volley, the Paris native laid out his argument for why he should be starting soon against his hometown club, PSG, in the The only player on the pitch that won the Bundesliga with Bayern ten titles ago, Müller proved that he brings value to a first team eleven. A good showing from the 33-year-old talisman. But his tenth Bundesliga goal of the season proved what a massive talent he is. Ridle Baku had a solid game, and he should have had a least a beautiful assist if it wasn’t for a horrible finish by the Swede, the Malmö native Mattias Svanberg. João fits the Nagelsmann philosophy to a tee.

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic says the club will be speaking to captain Manuel Neuer after he criticised the German champions over the ...

Salihamidzic said in the statement: "As our goalkeeping coach, Toni was involved in the successes of recent years. "This is about the human side of things, the way a valued employee was treated. [The] Tapalovic decision, which was also difficult for us personally, had nothing to do with Manuel in this matter, and we explained that to him. "There was no reason that I could comprehend. "I was told by the club officials. "That blow hit me extremely hard," Neuer told the Athletic.

Despite the club's unshakeable position atop the German football tree, things do not always go smoothly behind the scenes at Bayern Munich.

Neuer called the sacking “the most brutal thing I have experienced in my career”, implicitly pointing the finger at Nagelsmann, saying “in all these years I have never heard any coach say anything negative about Toni... At a club where winning is everything, Neuer’s return to the field -- and return to top form -- may be the only thing that heals the rift with the club. Salihamidzic said on Sunday that Neuer was “putting his personal interests above the interests of the club”, and said “as captain I would have expected a different attitude from him”. The sacking came days after goalkeeper Alexander Nuebel, currently on loan at Monaco and viewed as a future No.1, publicly criticised Tapalovic for ignoring him in favour of Neuer, revealing that he had not spoken to the coach at all during his time in the principality. Neuer said he could not “comprehend” the sacking which “came out of nowhere”, saying it “knocked me down” at a time “when I was already on the ground”. A close friend of the two-time Champions League-winning keeper, Tapalovic moved with Neuer from Schalke to Bayern in 2011 and had been a key component of the coaching group since.

After a lot of drama over the weekend at FC Bayern Munich, we decided to get in contact with Florian Bogner from Eurosport Germany.

Bayern decided to mix up Neuer's state in state, so to speak - to challenge him and to be prepared if he's not coming back at his best level. He also has Euro 2024 in Germany back in his mind with Hansi Flick as a loyal national coach. He will try to come back and show everybody what he is still capable of. “That's why they bought Alexander Nubel, but they discovered that Nubel and Neuer were like fire and ice. That's a huge deal - so he will think twice before provoking something.” “Neuer definitely thinks he's better than Sommer, who is 34 years old as well. “Now, with Neuer's broken foot at the age of 37 on his own account while skiing, everything has changed. 2017-2018) and Bayern looked at the whole package more carefully. And he surely would have preferred for them to stick with Ulreich, like in the past when Neuer was injured. "Nagelsmann and Tapalovic weren't that keen on each other as well. But in recent years, as he got older, there were several injury issues (e.g. But they can quieten these rumours with good results.

The goalkeeper was distraught after the German giants sacked the long-term goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic and attacked the decision in a frank interview.

There was no reason that I could comprehend. Things were said that I don't agree with. And I've experienced a lot. It really knocked me down. It came out of nowhere.

“I was also disappointed at the time and I was furious with the federation,” said Kahn. But I haven't heard any arguments that rule out talking to each other and clearing things up,” said Neuer, who added that the issue led to him considering his future at the club. "Toni was loved by the whole team.” “I felt my heart was being torn out.” Tapalovic's dismissal came just over a month after Neuer broke his leg in a skiing accident and was taken as a personal blow by the 37-year-old goalkeeper. 23 due to what Salihamidžic said were “differences over the ways and means of working together”.

Bayern Munich director Hasan Salihamidzic expected a different behaviour from captain Manuel Neuer while speaking on his skiing injury.

He also hit out at the club's [sacking of goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic](https://www.goal.com/en/news/manuel-neuer-goalkeeping-coach-sacked-bayern-munich-leaking-staff-chats-players/blt632be229bd3d3e99), describing it as "the most brutal thing I’ve experienced in my career." WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to BILD, Salihamidzic said: "I understand that Manuel is personally affected. WHAT NEXT FOR BAYERN MUNICH?

The front office weren’t amused, neither is Lothar Matthäus, who said that Neuer should not be the captain going forward.

He said: “I was also disappointed at the time and I was furious with the federation. Neuer, who is injured for the rest of the season after breaking his leg during a ski trip, revealed that he had not been warned about Tapolovic’s sacking and that it felt like “his heart was being ripped out”. He said: “From Manuel’s perspective, I wouldn’t have given the interview, especially when he says in the same interview that the club is the priority.

The coach and captain might have a strained relationship at Bayern Munich.

The relationship between Nagelsmann and Neuer has already been strained before the dismissal of Tapalović. But it’s not a question to answer now. Neuer’s plan remains to get back on the pitch next season as #1, he’s not thinking about leaving or retiring. The captain enjoys huge appreciation in the dressing room. The sacking of Tapalović now makes the relationship difficult to repair. A consequence for Neuer has not yet been determined.
