Bayern Munich losing to Bayern Leverkusen in the DFB cup match they played yesterday showed how important Harry Kane is to the team because if he had featured in that match, there was no way he wouldn't have scored. Red card is a very huge setback for any team in football because it destabilizes the players such that it's always hard to cover up for the player that was sent out of the pitch and even though the Red card was giving to their goal keeper Manuel Neuer,
In the end, Bayern Munich was really unlucky in this match. Because in the round of 16, they had to play against another top club, Leverkusen, and even worse, they got a red card in the early minutes, the 17th minute, so by only playing with 10 men, it was quite detrimental for Bayern Munich. and in the end, Leverkusen was able to optimize the chance to win from this condition. Although Kane may be in the squad, but playing with 10 players vs 11 top club players like Leverkusen, will still be quite difficult. But, who knows.
After losing one player to red card in a very important match like this and also the opponent being a top team in the league, it will be very difficult for any team to win that match. Bayern Leverkusen saw the opportunity of the red card and they really utilized it well to their own advantage to defeat Bayern Munich in the DFB Cup. If it was like last two season’s when Bayern Munich was the best team in the Bundesliga, they could have still won this game with one player down for them. But since most teams now understand the game better most especially Bayern Leverkusen, it now became easier for them to get a win than for them trying to hold the match to a draw or eventually losing the game. The German league is not more a mediocre one, most teams are now performing better and facing their challenge very well.
