Bayern Munich 4-0 Werder Bremen Player Ratings: Harry Kane 9.5/10 Rated as Bavarians Put a Dominant 4-0 Victory Against Werder Bremen

FC Bayern Munich arrived at the Bundesliga fixture and simply dismantled a struggling Werder Bremen side. The final score of 4-0 barely does justice to the gulf in class we witnessed on the pitch. It was a relentless attacking display from the first whistle to the last.

What stood out to us was how Bayern controlled every phase of play. They were patient in their build-up but absolutely ruthless in the final third. The goals were a showcase of their quality: a calm finish from Luis Díaz, a clinical brace from the talismanic Harry Kane, and a late strike from the marauding Konrad Laimer. Werder Bremen just had no answers and spent most of the match chasing shadows.

Honestly, Bremen's goalkeeper Karl Hein was the only reason the scoreline wasn't even more embarrassing. He was peppered with shots all evening. It was a one-sided affair that sent a clear message to the rest of the league about Bayern's intentions this season. They looked absolutely unstoppable. Here are the Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen player ratings.

Werder Bremen Player Ratings vs Bayern Munich

Here are the Werder Bremen player ratings vs Bayern Munich.

Goalkeeper

Karl Hein - 7.5: We felt for him. He faced an onslaught and without his eight saves, this could have been a historic drubbing. Hein was constantly under pressure, making five saves from shots inside the box. He was decisive, coming out to punch and claim crosses. Despite conceding four goals, he was easily Bremen's best player, which says it all.

Defenders

Yukinari Sugawara - 5.5: A very tough evening for the full-back. He was part of a defence that was torn apart. While he had a couple of tackles and clearances, he was often caught out of position. He tried to get forward and had a few shots, but defensively he was overwhelmed by Bayern's fluid attack.

Marco Friedl - 4.5: As a captain, this was a performance to forget. His clumsy challenge led to the penalty for Bayern's second goal, a moment that killed any slim hope of a comeback. While he made a high number of clearances, the crucial error and an error leading to a shot overshadow any positives. A really poor day at the office.

Karim Coulibaly - 5.0: He had a good pass completion rate but that's where the good news ends. He was part of a backline that offered virtually no resistance to the Bayern forwards. He looked a step off the pace and struggled to contain the movement and speed of the opposition. Not a performance he'll want to remember.

Felix Agu - 5.5: Agu showed fight, winning all six of his duels which was impressive. However, he was still part of a defensive unit that shipped four goals. He got forward a couple of times but his final ball was lacking. He was substituted after 80 minutes of hard running with little reward.

Midfielders

Jens Stage - 6.0: He worked tirelessly in the middle of the park, winning most of his duels and drawing fouls. From our perspective, he put in a real shift. However, he struggled to impose himself on the game and was largely a passenger as Bayern dominated possession. He was subbed off after 80 minutes.

Samuel Mbangula - 5.0: A difficult game for the midfielder. He was tidy in possession but offered very little penetration or defensive cover. He lost the majority of his duels and was dispossessed twice. The game simply passed him by before he was taken off.

Senne Lynen - 5.0: Lynen was completely overrun in the midfield battle. He was dribbled past twice and lost possession ten times. He tried to contribute but was simply outclassed by his opposite numbers. This was a harsh lesson in top-level football for him.

Romano Schmid - 6.0: One of the few Bremen players who tried to create something. He managed three key passes and looked to get on the ball. The effort was there, but he was also incredibly wasteful, losing possession 18 times. A mixed bag of a performance.

Cameron Puertas - 4.5: Had a minimal impact on the game. With only 28 touches in 61 minutes, he was a ghost. He lost four of his five duels and offered nothing going forward. It was no surprise to see him substituted.

Forwards

Justin Njinmah - 5.0: He was completely isolated and starved of service. With just 22 touches, he couldn't get into the game at all. He was caught offside and failed to register a meaningful effort on goal. A frustrating evening for the forward.

Substitutes

Victor Boniface - 6.0: Came on but had little chance to influence the game with Bremen already well beaten.

Marco Grüll - 6.0: Brought on to replace the ineffective Njinmah but faced the same issue of being isolated.

Patrice Covic - N/A: Not enough time to make an impact.

Leonardo Bittencourt - N/A: Came on late with the game already decided.

Isaac Schmidt - N/A: Introduced late into a demoralised team.

Manager

H. Steffen - 4.0: His tactical plan failed spectacularly. His team was passive, disorganized, and completely outplayed in every department. He was unable to make any changes that altered the flow of the game. A very poor showing from the sideline.

Bayern Munich Player Ratings vs Werder Bremen

Here are the Bayern Munich player ratings vs Werder Bremen.

Goalkeeper

Manuel Neuer - 7.0: It was a quiet day for the captain, but he was alert when needed. He made two important saves to preserve his clean sheet. His distribution was, as always, excellent, starting attacks from the back. A comfortable and professional performance.

Defenders

Dayot Upamecano - 7.5: A rock at the back. Upamecano was composed, strong, and read the game brilliantly. He boasted a 92% pass accuracy and won most of his duels. He gave the Bremen attackers absolutely nothing to work with.

Jonathan Tah - 8.0: An almost perfect performance. His 99% pass accuracy is just ridiculous. He was imperious defensively, making three interceptions and winning all of his duels. He looked completely untroubled all game. A masterful defensive display.

Sacha Boey - 7.5: An excellent all-round display from the full-back. He was solid in his defensive duties, making a last-man tackle. Going forward, he created two chances and was a constant outlet on the right flank. A very dynamic and impressive performance.

Konrad Laimer - 9.0: What a game! We thought he was magnificent. He capped off a dominant performance with a goal. He created an incredible five key passes from defence and won the majority of his duels. He was a force of nature down the flank, contributing heavily to both defence and attack.

Midfielders

Leon Goretzka - 8.0: He ran the show for the 61 minutes he was on the pitch. He was physically dominant, made key passes, and created a big chance. His energy and drive from midfield set the tone for Bayern's dominance before he was given a well-earned rest.

Luis Díaz - 8.5: A fantastic performance. He opened the scoring with a well-taken goal and later provided an assist for Kane. He was a constant menace, creating two big chances and always looking to run at the defence. A truly electric display.

Michael Olise - 8.0: Olise was a creative hub for Bayern. He provided the assist for the opening goal and created four chances in total. His dribbling and vision caused Bremen problems all evening. A very impressive and skillful performance before his substitution.

Tom Bischof - 8.0: A very mature and controlled performance from the midfielder. He kept the play ticking over with a 91% pass accuracy and got a deserved assist for Laimer's goal. He created three chances and was a key part of Bayern's midfield dominance throughout the 90 minutes.

Serge Gnabry - 6.5: A relatively quiet outing for Gnabry. He was neat and tidy but didn't have the explosive impact we know he's capable of. He picked up a needless yellow card and was substituted after an hour. A solid, if unspectacular, shift.

Forwards

Harry Kane - 9.5: The man is a machine. A simply world-class performance. He won and scored the penalty with ice-cold composure, then added a second with a smart finish. He was the focal point of the attack and his movement was exceptional. The clear man of the match and our highest-rated player.

Substitutes

Joshua Kimmich - 7.0: Came on and seamlessly slotted into the midfield, maintaining Bayern's control.

Raphaël Guerreiro - 7.0: Looked lively and contributed to a few late attacks.

Lennart Karl - N/A: Not on long enough to rate.

Nicolas Jackson - 6.5: Came on for Kane and had a couple of chances, forcing a good save from Hein.

Wisdom Mike - N/A: A late cameo in a game that was long over.

Manager

V. Kompany - 9.0: His tactics were spot on. He set his team up to attack from the outset and they executed his plan to perfection. The substitutions were managed well, resting key players once the game was won. A flawless managerial performance.
