Bayern Munich v Werder Bremen live: Bayern storm into a 4-1 lead, but lose Mane to injury

Usually it's weirdly solemn, but this is much more dignified.

Ah well. But I guess it's possible Nagelsmann knows his players better than I do.

Gnabry picks space on the left of the box and welts a shot over the top.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 4-1 Werder Bremen (Gnabry) Goodness me, Werder are being made to pay for their effrontery in equalising. Again, they're totally exposed through the middle - they've lost the head a bit here - Kimmich sending Sane through with no defender anywhere near. He might beat Pavlenka himself, but he's got Gabry to his left staying behind him, so tees up an open goal. This could get very silly.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 3-1 Werder Bremen (Goretzka) Again, Bremen are far too open at the back, allowing Kimmich to stride through the middle and play Goretzka in. But there's still plenty of work to do, Pavlenka charging out, so Goretzka skips over his leg and goes around him, doing brilliantly to stay on his feet before turning into the far corner. these goals have been excellent.

Musiala accidentally introduced elbow to cheek.

Phew. Quite a 24 minutes!

GOAL! Bayern Munich 2-1 Werder Bremen (Gnabry) This is a lovely finish. Bayern pump a free-kick into the box, it eventually ends up with Gnabry, alone on the left side of the box, and he sends a gorgeous curler spinning into the far side-netting. That ellipsis was deployed for a reason.

I'm glad to see that. Sane's played on the right a fair bit at Bayern, but I much prefer him keeping the width on his natural side.

Sane replaces him.

Who's not at all happy. With Sane on the bench, I'd expect him to come off shortly - much as most of us prioritise out clubs, not a chance he'll want to feel that he's let down the entirety of Senegal.

Once Choupo-Moting, always Choupo-Moting. He goes down the middle, the keeper goes to his right, and the ball cannons off his outstretched leg.

While Mane receives treatment, the ref goes to check VAR for a penalty! What I think happens is that Gnabry goes by Pieper, who extends a leg, and the ball gets away from him so he makes sure to hit the leg. The ref, though, thinks differently; I think he's lucky to get that, but here we are.

He doesn't look too concerned, but with the World Cup coming, he'll be concerned.

Gnabry burrowing forward and playing off Musiala, who plays his mate back in with a lovely flick. But as he weaves into the box, he's crowded out and the ref has no interest in his appeals for a penalty.

You get the feeling Bayern's English Twitter admin reckons that's not the end of the scoring.

Can Julian Nagelsmann balance a team? I'm not certain.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 1-1 Werder Bremen (Jung) Who saw that one coming?! Bremen work this beautifully, quick passes when apparently penned in down the right drawing Bayern in, allowing Gruev to spread left to Jung, and alone, all he needs to do is maintain composure to pass into the far corner!
