Once again, a Bayern Munich star has been snubbed from a major award shortlist. Yes, that’s right — Jamal Musiala hasn’t made it onto France Football’s top Ballon d’Or Top 30. The longstanding agenda against Bayern Munich continues. Ribéry 2013, Neuer 2014, Lewandowski 2020, 2021 ... and now this.Paul Wanner has been incredible for Heidenheim this season so far, and is starting to turn heads.

Bayern Munich downed Austrian side WSG Tirol 3-0 in Unterhaching in a match that unimpressive, but did achieve the goal of getting some younger players time, while allowing the veterans to shake off a little more rust ahead of the DFB-Pokal match against SSV Ulm.Let’s get to it and discuss how this match played out:A look at Vincent Kompany’s odd lineup and why there were not that many experienced reserves available.A rundown of the scoring and substitutes.
