Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes heaped praise on his “flawless” side after they opened up a 20-point lead at the summit of the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Bayern Munich’s seemingly unstoppable march to a sixth consecutive Bundesliga title continued as they brushed aside Freiburg 4-0 at the Schwarzwald-Stadion on Sunday.
The victory opens up a 20-point lead over second-placed Schalke and heralds a return to winning ways after last weekend’s surprise 0-0 draw at home to Hertha Berlin.
After a sluggish start, Jupp Heynckes’ side burst into life midway through the opening period as Thomas Muller’s persistence forced Alexander Schwolow into an own goal to break the deadlock.
That was soon followed by a thumping long-range drive from Corentin Tolisso, which flashed past the Freiburg goalkeeper to double their advantage.
Sandro Wagner added a third in the 54th minute to effectively end the game as a contest before Muller netted his sixth league goal of the campaign with a smart finish 15 minutes later.
Bayern scarcely had to break sweat to swat aside a Freiburg side who have now won just once in six league games and Heynckes was quick to hail the confidence shown by his side.
“The boys were flawless today,” he said. “This was one of our best games. I’m really happy with the whole team.
“Not only were we confident on the ball, but we were tactically very good too.
“I have challenged the players to leave everything out there in the Bundesliga.”
