Schweinsteiger Brace Puts Bayern Munich In Pole Position For The Round Of 16.
Louis van Gaal's side took on Swiss champions FC Basel at St. Jakob Park in Basel tonight, with
the hopes of kickstarting their season. Bayern Munich have not been on great form domestically, and
have only managed two wins in their first six Bundesliga matches.
8 matches took place on Tuesday afternoon in the second round of the Champions League group
stage. Real Madrid, Ajax, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Arsenal and AC Milan were some of the big clubs
in action as the typically exciting UEFA Champions League took place.
In Italy AS Roma defeated Romanians CFR Cluj 2-1 thanks to goals from Phillipe Mexes and Marco
Borrielo.
Die Spieler des FC Bayern München waren schon besser in Form – beispielsweise am Ende der
vergangenen Spielzeit, als man die Deutsche Meisterschaft und den DFB-Pokal gewann und zudem noch
im Finale der Champions League (0:2 gegen Inter Mailand) stand. In die neue Spielzeit sind die
Münchner allerdings etwas verhalten gestartet; und das, obwohl im Wesentlichen – mit Ausnahme
der Rückkehr einiger ausgeliehenen Spieler – der Kader unverändert blieb.
