Bundesliga action returns and title holders Bayern Munich are up against 15th placed VfL Bochum to maintain their position at the top of the table.

Although they have managed to beat Bayern in just one of their last 35 meetings. Since the return of Bundesliga, Bochum have managed two wins and two losses in the competition posting the same scoreline in the last two league games (5-2). Bayern Munich have finally managed to return to winning ways after three consecutive 1-1 draws in the Bundesliga.

There are several reasons for Union's success. January additions were modest but in a sign of both how far Union have come and also how far they still have to go, they were They have a formidable record on their own patch and are undefeated there in the Bundesliga for over a year. A two-legged play-off with Ajax looms later this month. Hertha have previously been in the Champions League - reaching the second group stage in 1999-2000 - but now Union have beaten them five times in a row and sit a commanding 25 points ahead of their local rivals. They have won all five of their matches in league and cup since the restart and Borussia Dortmund are the only other club to boast a 100 per cent record in 2023.

Nagelsmann has strictly used Leon Goretzka in a very, very attacking role this season. The former Bochum midfielder definitely has some strengths in that role.

Fancy some analysis and a breakdown of the stats and tactics? Some of the attacking sequences were still sloppy, sometimes the players didn’t know when to play the ball fast up the field or retain possession and the attackers still looked a little shot shy. Against Bochum, Ari came on to make his competitive debut for the Bavarian giants and though he couldn’t score a goal (despite coming close twice), he still was very impressive. But it means we might see a lot more experimenting in the future to find the former Manchester City man’s perfect role. Goretzka showed that he is capable in possession, progressing the ball nicely through Bochum’s press, but he really starred when it came to his defensive play. Though, considering how Goretzka usually plays that attacking role and completely eschews this kind of defensive work rate usually, the obvious question is why does he not play this role more often?

The Bavarians secured their first win of 2023 at the Allianz with a 3-0 win thanks to goals from Muller, Coman and Gnabry. Müller celebrates with Cancelo ...

Bayern were 3-0 up at the Allianz with minimal effort. Nagelsmann saw that the game was starting to get complicated and introduced a key substitution: Frenchman Kingsley Coman. The first half was far from what was expected against the worst away team in the Bundesliga (three points out of a possible 30).

At that point, Müller, of course, did not know that Paris Saint-Germain, Tuesday's opponent in the UEFA Champions League, was struggling against Monaco and ...

The truth, however, also is that Bayern, after ten Bundesliga titles in a row, feels that their main goal is the Champions League title this season. There is no doubt that Bayern’s win was deserved in the end. Müller would admit in the mixed zone that Bayern’s start was not the best. Kingsley Coman then came on for the Portuguese wing-back in the 59th minute, and five minutes later, the Frenchman had doubled the lead for Bayern. That goal then paved the way for tactical changes as Nagelsmann switched João Cancelo to the right and brought on Alphonso Davies on the left. At that point, Müller, of course, did not know that Paris Saint-Germain, Tuesday’s opponent in the UEFA Champions League, was struggling against Monaco and would ultimately lose the game.

Bayern Munich youngster Mamin Sanyang has been included in The Gambia's squad for this month's TotalEnergies U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Daily Schmankerl: The aftermath of Bayern Munich vs. VfL Bochum; Noussair Mazraoui to Inter Milan already?; Julian Nagelsmann can't see selling Kingsley Coman; ...

He could be getting the itch to leave (especially considering the crowded ranks on the wing at Bayern Munich), but he has not indicated that as of yet. It is hard to envision a scenario where Sabitzer returns to Bayern Munich on any type of full-time basis. The funds will then be reinvested in a replacement, with Morocco international Mazraoui the preferred option of directors Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio, after they had previously courted him in 2021. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode: Manchester United are prepared to sign Marcel Sabitzer permanently in the summer if he impresses during his loan spell. Inter are ready to cash in on wingback Denzel Dumfries this summer and attempt to replace him with Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui, with help from Achraf Hakimi. Goretzka needed to do way better with that, but said after the match that it was a difficult attempt. I do think the heavy workload and physical toll is having a little bit of an effect on Musiala. - Matthijs de Ligt and Benjamin Pavard were both excellent on the day. - While I have never been inducted into the #MüllerMafia, it is hard to fathom how Nagelsmann had any thought to put Thomas Müller on the bench when games restarted after the World Cup. - Just about the only 50/50 call was Serge Gnabry over Kingsley Coman and Alphonso Davies, but it makes sense. When the team desperately needed to play with some urgency, Müller was there to power the squad with sheer will and determination.

Wissam Ben Yedder scored twice for Monaco as Marseille closed the gap to five points.

Paris Saint-Germain is limping into their first leg contest in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes.

El Chadaille Bitshiabu, the 17-year-old centre-back, was then dispossessed on the edge of his own area by Krepin Diatta, allowing Ben Yedder to fire in and make it 2-0 in the 18th minute. PSG, with Neymar unable to make an impact, rarely threatened in the second half and again needed their Italy goalkeeper to intervene on several occasions, including making a fine stop to deny Takumi Minamino right at the end. Already beaten by Lens and Rennes in Ligue 1 since the turn of the year, the capital side fell behind when Ben Yedder helped set up Russian international Golovin to score from close range. PSG were also without playmaker Marco Verratti, fellow midfielder Renato Sanches and defender Nordi Mukiele due to injury before it emerged that several members of the squad were laid low by a stomach bug on the morning of the game.

Bayern heeded the warning as Joao Cancelo - operating on the right-hand side following the half-time introduction of Alphonso Davies - guided a trademark cross onto the head of Choupo-Moting, who headed off target. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting headed wide and Müller tested the reflexes of Riemann with a lobbed attempt as the record champions turned the screw. Bochum's resistance was broken before the break, though, following a mix-up between Riemann and Saidy Janko. 74') Riemann blocked from Sane and pounced on Gnabry's follow-up, before pulling off a superb reaction save from Matthijs de Ligt, with Leon Goretzka heading the rebound wide.
