Bayern Munich came away with a strong performance against Boca Juniors, the famous and historic Argentine club, 2-1, in the FIFA Club World Cup. This meant Bayern qualified for the Round of 16; this also meant Bayern became the first club to successfully defeat a South American club in the competition. The only downside was an injury to Jamal Musiala. Vincent Kompany set his team up to play with fluency, and for the most part, Bayern did so. In this podcast:

• We look at the lineup put out by Vincent Kompany and what it actually looked like during the game.
• We share some thoughts about Jamal Musiala’s injury as well as Vincent Kompany and Thomas Tuchel’s overuse of the player.
• We give some praise for Josip Stanišić.
• We give a lot of praise for Michael Olise and Harry Kane.
• We look at the events leading up to the goal which Bayern conceded from Miguel Merentiel of Boca Juniors.

Bayern Munich’s true offseason will not start until after the Club World Cup, but there is plenty to talk about. Even with the big match against Boca Juniors on the horizon, the Bavarians have plenty of news dropping by the hour.

Let’s get into it, this is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Podcast:

• Max Eberl has an unenviable task this summer to cut salaries and add talent. It won’t be easy, but at least his bosses are going to be patient...right? Right?
• Rudi Völler says he knew a few months ago that Florian Wirtz was headed to Liverpool FC, which kind of leaves more egg on the face of Bayern Munich.
• Our own Jack Laushway checks in to talk about his trip to Germany for the Champions League final and the UEFA Nations League Four. We also discuss the German U-21 squad, which is ripping through the U-21 EUROs at the moment.
