Both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City came into Saturday off the back of opening weekend wins.
It was Thomas Frank’s first big Premier League test as the new Spurs manager, and he passed it with flying colours.
Pep Guardiola has struggled against Tottenham over the years, as Spurs have become Manchester City’s bogey team.
Since Guardiola took over at Man City, he is 11-3-10 against Spurs.
Manchester City had some build-up issues during this match, and their high line cost them again.
While Guardiola has a number of new signings, the defensive issues that plagued them last season have not gone away.
In this article, we will examine both teams’ build-up structures, Manchester City’s issues out of possession, and how Spurs defended brilliantly in a low block.
Bayern Munich have started their 2025/2026 season in some style as they thrashed Ole Werner’s RB Leipzig by six goals to nil.
This is one of the heaviest defeats in recent Bundesliga opening game history.
Vincent Kompany outdid himself as his side only recorded a 3-2 victory for their opening league game against VfL Wolfsburg last season.
Going into the game, FC Bayern fielded their strongest XI, apart from the injured Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, the same players that started against VfB Stuttgart in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.
However, things were not the same for Ole Werner.
With the departures of important players like Benjamin Šeško and André Silva, they were short on attacking power.
The Bundesliga opener was a game to forget for the Leipzig supporters.
Through this tactical analysis, we aim to understand how Bayern Munich outmanoeuvred Leipzig to emerge victorious.
