Bayern Munich rebounded from a disappointing 4-1 Champions League defeat to Barcelona by defeating VfL Bochum 5-0 in the Bundesliga, maintaining their position at the top of the league table with 20 points. Michael Olise opened the scoring with a free kick, followed by goals from Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane, Leroy Sané, and Kingsley Coman. This victory marked a strong response from Bayern, who had struggled with consistency in the Champions League earlier this season. Bochum remains at the bottom of the table, having secured just one point from eight matches and suffering a heavy loss in Markus Feldhoff's first game as interim manager. Bayern's coach Vincent Kompany emphasized the need to learn from past mistakes while highlighting the team's potential for a successful season ahead. The win not only reinstated Bayern's confidence but also showcased their offensive strength, making them a formidable force in the league.
