Bundesliga 2018-19: 3 Reasons behind Bayern's ascent to the top of the Bundesliga table

#3 Experienced players performing well

Thomas Muller has been rising up to expectations

The experienced players of Bayern such as Mats Hummels, Manual Neuer, Thomas Muller and Franck Ribery have been performing reasonably well for the last few months. Muller scored a goal and set up another last night against Wolfsburg. He now has seven goals and six assists from 33 matches this season. Ribery also provided an assist against Wolfsburg and was a constant threat through the left flank.

Hummels and Neuer, meanwhile, continue to be dependable in Bayern’s defence. Neuer is back from an injury and should look forward to performing well in the upcoming matches for the German giants.

Moreover, veteran players like Javi Martinez and Rafinha have also been performing quite well for Bayern. The valuable experience of the aforementioned players has helped Bayern a great deal in recovering from a bad start to the season. Kovac would be depending a lot on them for winning a major silverware on his debut season as their manager.
