Leipzig fluff their lines<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So many big &#8220;title clashes&#8221; in the Bundesliga are brought to an abrupt halt by the challenger getting torn asunder at the Allianz Arena by Bayern Munich. Borussia Dortmund know this pain all too well, and so Leipzig would have approached this tie with trepidation as well as confidence.<\/p>\n<p>That trepidation was not palpable in their performance, which was superb and saw them trade blows with their illustrious hosts all evening long. However, the nerves Leipzig must have been feeling manifested in their finishing, which was pretty poor.<\/p>\n<p>And not just in the way that all finishing is kind of poor when an open game ends 0-0, but actually unforgivably bad. Leipzig conjured a trio of chances on the break that absolutely should have been buried.\u00a0Marcel Sabitzer had the goal at his mercy about 15 yards from goal but blazed over, Timo Werner was unmarked even closer to goal yet wasted Christopher Nkunku&#8217;s great work and put it wide, and of course Werner even put it wide having run around Manuel Neuer (when passing would have surely led to a goal).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">RB Leipzig are the first team to keep a clean sheet against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga or Champions League this season.<\/p>\n<p>And it earns them their first-ever point at the Allianz Arena. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JDT5hhrH9J\">pic.twitter.com\/JDT5hhrH9J<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1226579660986834950?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 9, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Hell, you&#8217;d think at least one of them would have gone in. How often do teams go to Bayern and actually conjure one chance that good, let alone three? Especially in games of this magnitude? Leipzig had the chance to deliver one of the biggest and boldest statements the Bundesliga had seen in half a decade, and even though they were the first Bundesliga or Champions League side to keep a clean sheet at the Allianz in 2019\/20, they fluffed their lines to make history.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Bayern&#8217;s midfield mastery<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The legacy of Pep Guardiola still looms large at Bayern Munich through the magnificence of their midfield. Today even though in the final third the game was even, in the middle only one side reigned and that was Bayern. With Joshua Kimmich and Thiago Alcantara negotiating the Leipzig press with almost insulting ease.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmich (131) and Thiago (116) had more touches than anyone else on the pitch, Kimmich also completed more passes (91\/104) than anyone else whilst Thiago was second on that list (85\/98) and the former Barcelona-man had more passes in the opponent&#8217;s half than anyone else (59). They were the engine room, moving the ball forward to facilitate the creativity of the attacking players. If Bayern end up winning the Bundesliga (and perhaps the Champions League) it will be thanks to their magical midfielders.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1129706\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/features\/bayern-munich-rb-leipzig-player-ratings-bundesliga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1129706\" class=\"wp-image-1129706 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/09190053\/bayern-leipzig-player-ratings-featured-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/09190053\/bayern-leipzig-player-ratings-featured-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/09190053\/bayern-leipzig-player-ratings-featured-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/09190053\/bayern-leipzig-player-ratings-featured-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/09190053\/bayern-leipzig-player-ratings-featured-66x37.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/09190053\/bayern-leipzig-player-ratings-featured-620x350.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/09190053\/bayern-leipzig-player-ratings-featured-940x530.jpg 940w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/02\/09190053\/bayern-leipzig-player-ratings-featured.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1129706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/features\/bayern-munich-rb-leipzig-player-ratings-bundesliga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Player ratings as Bayern Munich retain title advantage over RB Leipzig<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>3. Dayot Upamecano is the truth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes when you watch a young defender you just know they&#8217;re the real deal.

He made eight clearances (a game-high), four interceptions, two tackles and another game-high with thre blocks. And beyond the numbers, he very much passed the eye-test. Whenever Bayern looked like threatening, somehow he was there.<\/p>\n<p>Upamecano even managed to make a classic mistake so many overworked defenders make when playing well, that one error that undoes all their excellence, but still got away with it. He fouled Lewandowski and conceded a penalty, but only after the Pole received the ball in an offside position, so VAR brought it back for a Leipzig free-kick.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone has been making lots of noise about Werner being &#8220;due&#8221; a big move in the summer, but Upamecano is the truth as well. A supreme talent very much ready for the biggest of big times.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Takumi Minamino: How Japanese fans support Liverpool&#039;s new signing | \u5357\u91ce \u62d3\u5b9f\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7qsprIbhfVE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC_QgsfA8W1TdLADOz0txpTg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Squawka\u2019s Youtube channel here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4.

Hernandez will add genuinely elite ability at the heart of defence and Coman is a decisive playmaker in the final third and has the pace to change a game in a split-second.<\/p>\n<p>With a Champions League tie against Chelsea looming, Bayern will need their young guns firing to get them into the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The race for the top isn&#39;t showing any signs of slowing down ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BundesligaMD21?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BundesligaMD21<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UrAz19Przd\">pic.twitter.com\/UrAz19Przd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bundesliga English (@Bundesliga_EN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bundesliga_EN\/status\/1226587318183579648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 9, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5.
