The Bayern traveled while on the self-image of invincibility that at least clinging to the club nationally. Not even the short-term failures of Lewandowski, Xabi Alonso and Benatia change anything that extend the star-studded field hospital of Bavaria, at least briefly on team size. Nevertheless, a world selection of five world champions and other world-class players standing on the field.
This star-studded annoyed Mainz, although let down, but in possession of a courageous and determined performance and thus a completely different strategy than in the previous year under Tuchel. At that time the Rheinhessen brought a wild ball hunting in the forefront even goalkeeper Manuel Neuer from the socket and forced him to haphazard urgency clearance.

The Dutchman this chance from five meters made no mistake. “I’m sorry for Mainz, they were outstanding today,” Robben said. And goalkeeper Neuer was happy: “We wanted to finish the last game positively. This is fantastic. “
But even if Mainz 05 at the end with empty hands stood t here, so the appearance nevertheless brought before Christmas reconciliation with the last highly dissatisfied fans. The performance was also at the right moment, a signal from coach Hjulmand, which thus procures rest for the winter preparation.
