The match, played in front of a packed 75,000 crowd, saw Bayern unleash their full attacking arsenal from the opening whistle. Just five minutes in, Luis Díaz delivered a dangerous cross that was deflected into the net by unfortunate Wolfsburg defender Kilian Fischer for the opening own goal (1-0).
Wolfsburg briefly fought back when Dzenan Pejčinović equalized in the 13th minute (1-1), but that was as good as it got for the visitors. Bayern restored their lead before halftime through Luis Díaz's clinical header in the 31st minute (2-1), setting the tone for the second-half onslaught.
The floodgates opened after the break. Michael Olise struck in the 50th minute (3-1), followed quickly by another own goal from Wolfsburg's Jenz (4-1) in the 53rd. Raphaël Guerreiro added a fifth in the 68th (5-1), before Harry Kane notched his 20th Bundesliga goal of the season in the 69th (6-1) – a stunning milestone in just 16 matches.
Olise completed his brace in the 76th (7-1), and Leon Goretzka capped the demolition with a late eighth in the 88th minute (8-1). The result marks one of Bayern's most dominant performances in recent history and their biggest win since the 2022/23 season.
Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern have now won their first match post-winter break in commanding style, building on their impressive pre-break form where they dropped just four points in 15 games. The attacking trio of Díaz, Olise, and Kane proved lethal, combining creativity, pace, and clinical finishing.
Wolfsburg, struggling in mid-table, were overwhelmed defensively and could only muster a single goal despite early promise. Their defensive errors, including two own goals, highlighted the gulf in class on the day.
This victory pushes Bayern to the brink of another dominant title charge, with their next fixtures including a trip to FC Cologne on January 14 and RB Leipzig on January 17. For Wolfsburg, the focus shifts to damage limitation and regrouping ahead of tougher challenges.
A statement win for Bayern Munich – ruthless, relentless, and utterly unstoppable. The Bundesliga title race just got even more one-sided!
