Bayern Munich absolutely dismantled Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena, running out 5-1 winners in a one-sided Bundesliga encounter. The hosts controlled proceedings from start to finish, dominating possession and forcing their visitors into a desperate defensive display. Joshua Kimmich was immense in midfield, pulling the strings throughout and earning a deserved man of the match rating with his tireless distribution and positioning. Stuttgart managed to keep things respectable until half-time, trailing by just the one goal, but Bayern came out swinging after the break and simply ran riot, adding four more to seal a crushing victory. The numbers tell the story of a lopsided affair. Bayern peppered the Stuttgart goal with 21 shots, nine of which found the target, and carved out 9 corner opportunities. Stuttgart had their moments on the counter but managed just 11 shots with only four on target, never seriously threatening to pull off an unlikely comeback. This was Bayern at their ruthless best, the kind of performance that reminds everyone why they remain the team to beat in the Bundesliga.
