The last time I did this, it was as a joke but this is serious praise for the incredible Raumdeuter. All throughout the game, Choupo was moving through the spaces, dropping deep when necessary and providing that focal point up top that is so crucial to Bayern. These are not random occurrences, this is what he does all the time to incredible effect. As always, his passes over the top were the most noteworthy, as he played many beautiful passes that left the Mainz defense floundering. While Benjamin Pavard is far from the most popular player at Bayern, today’s performance was a timely reminder that the Frenchman is, in fact, a very good player. The award that is so predictable.

And the Portuguese defender was thrown straight into Bayern's starting XI for their German Cup last-16 tie with Mainz, as he lined up at left-back.

This might be due to Musiala’s performances taking a bit of a dip, but the player still hopes that the coach will play him in games. It’s absurd to think that Musiala and Nagelsmann suddenly have communication problems out of nowhere, but it’s Sport Bild after all. It looks like Julian Nagelsmann is not communicating efficiently with Jamal Musiala.

Mbappe had a night to forget, having had his spot-kick parried away by Benjamin Lecomte in the eighth minute. Cremonese are bottom in Serie A having failed to win in the league, but followed up their cup victory at Napoli in the last round by eliminating Jose Mourinho's side. Serie A strugglers Cremonese pulled off another shock in the Italian Cup by beating Roma 2-1 to reach the semi-finals for only the second time in their history. Lewandowski added to the lead with a shot from inside the area in the 80th minute, but Betis got on the board with an own goal by Jules Kounde five minutes later. The France forward was handed a reprieve and allowed to take the penalty again, only for the Montpellier goalkeeper to deny him for a second time. Mainz improved drastically for the second half, but Bayern withstood the pressure and Joshua Kimmich delivered a free-kick for Alphonso Davies to complete the scoring with a header in the 83rd minute.

In roughly half an hour, the least flashy of the Bavarians' winter transfers began to build his case for inclusion.

But behind that, it’s the 32-year-old veteran Blind who could be equally cementing himself as an important fixture in a squad that will need depth and cover as well as star power. [postgame podcast](https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/2/2/23582061/mainz-vs-bayern-munich-postgame-podcast-analysis-nagelsmann-joao-cancelo-back-three-muller-choupo)? By the end of the game, he had delivered this peach of a pass: If Nagelsmann persists with something of this back three — Davies, Coman, Cancelo, and Noussair Mazraoui all look candidates at wing-back — then Blind’s future will be at center-back. Listen below or [on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/4iHt7msxhTEamr7YN2M9Bd). Blind’s favored left foot offers favorable angles for distribution from these positions, and it doesn’t hurt that his passing range and ability is extremely impressive.

Bayern Munich have reportedly named their asking price for wantaway right back Benjamin Pavard. The Russia 2018 World Cup winner with France has fallen out ...

Facing difficulties to navigate La Liga's salary cap and Financial Fair Play regulations, however, the Blaugrana had no chance of acquiring Pavard for the rest of the 2022/2023 season. Pavard's plight in Bavaria has also been complicated by the arrival of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City, which led the Frenchman to supposedly offering his services to FC Barcelona in the recently closed January window. The 26-year-old wishes to star as a central defender too, and is apparently refusing to extend his contract which expires in 2024 meaning Bayern's last chance to cash on him would be in the summer or a year from now when he would be even cheaper.

Despite the multiple injuries suffered in the match, the Parisians were still able to secure a 3-1 win over Montpellier to extend their Ligue 1 lead to five points.

The French forward was withdrawn after 21 minutes during the Parisian’s away trip to Montpellier as he struggled to overcome a thigh problem in the match.

This is finally a Bayern team that looks awake and alive to the fact that there’s a competitive season going on. Paired up with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting at the tip of attack, Bayern rarely looked slow — one of the fears of having too much age in the same XI. Nagelsmann rolled out what turned out to be the perfect tactical answer to Mainz’s back-three / back-five — by spreading the field wide via wing-backs and then absolutely mauling them through the larger gaps opened up in the center. Center-back Matthijs de Ligt took a nice long seat on the bench at the Men’s World Cup — apparently not suited to a role on the outside of a back three. The two forwards nabbed an assist apiece and Mr. Players, coach, and front office alike have been sending urgent messages about upping the energy level. Fixed positions, back to basics...four games into the restart and it’s looked anything but restrictive. The loose passes and moments of confusion right now are understandable signs of unfamiliarity. For now it looks like all we can say is we don't really know — but as long as it can deliver the goods, we can't really mind. Cancelo is only on loan, and Nagelsmann's continuing evolution of the Bayern roster and tactics will be a fun topic for discussion. — with Thomas Müller and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting forming a fluid striker partnership, and highly aggressive wing-backs (Kingsley Coman and That’s meant in the best way.

Bayern have told Barcelona that they want €30 million (£27m/$33m) for right-back Benjamin Pavard, hoping to raise funds for loanee Joao Cancelo.

The 26-year-old Pavard figures to be a good one. They figure to need the fee in order to bring in Man City loanee Cancelo on a permanent deal, with his buy-option set at €70 million (£62m/$76m). Barcelona have been linked with Pavard as they look to find a long-term solution at right-back.
