No lifetime pledge

Watch Bayern München three times.

Three wins prove little. Catch the team in three different kinds of match.

Match one

Follow Harry Kane

Follow Harry Kane between the center backs. Notice when he drops, stays high or opens space for a runner or shot.

Match two

Ignore the score for a few minutes

Watch the distance between the midfield and the forwards when pressure turns into a direct chance. Then follow Jamal Musiala away from the ball: notice which run changes a defender’s position and when that movement becomes a passing option.

Match three

Would you watch again?

After three matches, ask what you would tell a friend about the team. If you only remember the result, keep looking.

What to watch

What to keep an eye on.

Watch the distance between the midfield and the forwards when pressure turns into a direct chance.

Also look for aggressive attacking pressure, box presence and high expectations. If they keep appearing across three matches, they matter.

Is Bayern München a good club for a new supporter?

A European heavyweight with famous players and a simple demand: win. Watch three full matches and see whether the same pattern keeps pulling you back.

What should I watch for when Bayern München play?

Watch the distance between the midfield and the forwards when pressure turns into a direct chance. Start by following Harry Kane in the finisher role, then widen your view to the spaces and teammates around that action.

What is the catch with choosing Bayern München?

If you are looking for an outsider, Bayern will not feel like one. If that still sounds good after three matches, you probably have your answer.
