"More than half of Bayern Munich's first-team squad played for their respective nations during the October international break. Some made a big impact for their country, but a few couldn't find form in these matches. All five of Germany's call-ups, Joshua Kimmich, Jonathan Tah, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Leon Goretzka, and Serge Gnabry, started in both World Cup qualifiers. Bayern's German contingent delivered great performances en route to two wins for Die Mannschaft."
"In the first game against Luxembourg, Joshua Kimmich scored a brace while Serge Gnabry added an instinctive finish in a massive victory. Tah, Pavlovic, and Goretzka all showed their quality, controlling the tempo for Germany and keeping a clean sheet. While there was no goal contribution for the Bayern stars against Northern Ireland, they displayed composure to secure three points in a hard-fought battle."
"His other partner in crime, Michael Olise, contributed 10 key passes in the two games for France and was unfortunately not able to pick up an assist. Olise's compatriot Dayot Upamecano featured for 90 minutes in both matches, cementing himself as the preferred centre-back choice for Didier Deschamps. The Bayern player with the most goal contributions this international break was Nicolas Jackson. A goal and two assists for Jackson in Senegal's nine-goal fiesta across two qualifying games."
