The goal spree continued with Michael Olise scoring the third, bringing his season tally to new heights. Olise is not only scoring but also closing in on Thomas Müller’s record of 18 assists in a single season. The final two goals were added by Nicolas Jackson and Raphaël Guerreiro, sealing the 5-0 rout.
With this victory, Bayern Munich sits comfortably at the top of the table with 76 points from 29 matches. They now hold a commanding 12-point lead over their nearest rivals, Borussia Dortmund, putting them on the verge of another Bundesliga title.
