Bayern Munich faced FC Augsburg at the WWK Arena in Sandro Wagner's home managerial debut, with players emerging through a Roman-styled tunnel that mimicked gladiators. Augsburg fans anticipated a rout, but Bayern gritted out a narrow victory that felt less convincing than expected. Luis Díaz's honeymoon phase ended as his finishing frailties were exposed; he scored once but missed an open goal, a one-on-one, and other clear chances, looking nervous in front of goal. Defensive concerns resurfaced after last season; Jonathan Tah was presented as a solution but the backline still appeared fragile and inconsistent.
As all relationships start, the honeymoon phase offers a time of basking in everything good that one's significant other has to offer in blatant ignorance of any flaw that they could possibly possess. However, once the honeymoon phase ends, you start to understand that a person is inevitably just a person, flaws and all. In regard to Bayern's new found relationship with Luis Díaz, the honeymoon phase is over.
Bayern Munich took to the pitch against FC Augsburg in Sandro Wagner's debut managerial home game at the WWK Arena. The players entered the pitch through a Roman styled tunnel mimicking gladiators walking out into the arena, and to the near delight of the Augsburg fans almost got the bloodbath they were eagerly awaiting. Nonetheless, Bayern were able to grit their way through an encounter they really should have won more convincingly.
