10-man Bayern defeat Hoffenheim 2-1

Bayern Munich continued their good start to the season by defeating Hoffenheim 2-1 even though they had to play with a man less. Kevin Volland gave Hoffenheim the lead after less than 10 seconds, but Thomas Muller levelled before the break. The hosts missed a penalty after Jerome Boateng handled the ball inside the area, earning a second yellow card.
Manuel Neuer spared him his blushes, though, by diving the right way to save Eugen Polanski’s spot-kick. Lewandowski tested goalkeeper Oliver Baumann as Bayern continued to create the better chances, and their persistence paid off with the same striker turning in a pass from Douglas Costa.
Bayern retain their first position on the log with the victory.

Balotelli wants those of you mocking Boateng to remember this.

The past few days have been a bit traumatic for Bayern Munich’s  Jerome Boateng after his infamous slip beside Barcelona’s Lionel Messi during the Catalans’ 3-0 first-leg Champions League victory over Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou. 
The German has been the butt of jokes and subject of comical memes of football fans worldwide. Some even recreated the video of his shocking fall and shared it to the world. His reaction to the ridicule came in form of a meme posted to his ‘haters’ few days back.
Italian international, Mario Balotelli is one of the very few people who have (un)surprisingly come to his defence.

The Italian posted the above photo on his instagram page hitting back at Boateng’s critics.

He wrote: “@jeromeboateng many people take the piss but they might have forget few months ago he won this. Keep it up bro”

 



Who knows? This might be a subtle sub.

"I will not say what I think of Messi" Pep Guardiola

Bayern Munich coach, Pep Guardiola was visibly pained yesterday after  Barcelona’s Lionel Messi caused a stir in the Champions League  match against Bayern last night by scoring two goals and setting up the third for teammate, Neymar.

He praised his team and insisted his men controlled the game well but lost their grip after the visitors’ first goal. He also commended the Blaugrana’s team efforts but did not acknowledge the brilliance of the man of the match.

” I will not say what I think of Messi. They are not just Leo, Barca are a very good team . They were very solid , in defence and attack . They have great players , Neymar , Luis Suarez . We tried to control the game so that Messi would not participate so much . We were 15 minutes away from a very good
result . ‎”

Bayern would need 4goals to knock their opponents out of the race. The Spaniard ‎who coached the spanish team for over 3 years doubts that his team will turn things around when they meet for the second leg.

“You can turn around a one or two-goal deficit, but three is tough.”‎ He added.
