Bayern beats Leverkusen 3-0 and puts an exclamation mark before the PSG duel!

In a thrilling Bundesliga top game, FC Bayern Munich defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 on November 3, 2025. This happened on matchday 9 at the Allianz Arena in Munich, and the game was significant as Bayern were leading the league and had previously recorded 14 consecutive competitive match wins. Leverkusen failed to score despite an impressive run of 37 Bundesliga away games without defeat.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany surprised with a rotation in the starting eleven to prepare his players for the upcoming Champions League duel against Paris Saint-Germain. From the last cup encounter against 1. FC Köln, seven players were changed from the lineup. This tactical approach proved to be spot on as Bayern dominated the first half and took the lead through Serge Gnabry in the 25th minute. Shortly afterwards, Nicolas Jackson increased the score to 2-0 in the 31st minute. In the 43rd minute, an own goal from Loic Bade made the score 3-0 at halftime.

Game history and highlights

The first half was firmly in Bayern's hands. Leverkusen couldn't get into the game at all and couldn't create any dangerous chances. In the second half, Kompany gradually substituted his regular players to conserve some energy. Max Eberl, Bayern's sporting director, had a lot of praise for the team's performance and dominance in the first half. Captain Manuel Neuer was positive about his teammates' confidence, while Joshua Kimmich noted that discipline waned in the second half.

• Torschützen:
• Serge Gnabry (25. Minute)
• Nicolas Jackson (31. Minute)
• Eigenes Tor von Loic Bade (43. Minute)

However, the game was not without excitement. Leon Goretzka picked up the first yellow card of the game for Bayern in added time, while Leverkusen's Ibrahim Maza was also booked in the 30th minute. Despite this little intensity, the match remained largely fair and controlled.

Rivalry and outlook

Bayern and PSG have an exciting rivalry that is characterized by many intense encounters in the past. The upcoming duel in the Champions League promises a lot of excitement and could be a real hit. Before that happens, Bayern will continue to develop their confidence and work on their form in order to face the competition in both the Bundesliga and at European level.

The victory over Leverkusen was another exclamation mark for the team, which continues to set high standards for itself. Serge Gnabry described the success as known to be important for the team, and the pressure on Bayern to confirm their achievements and stay in first place is growing with every matchday.
