Bayern Munich defeated RB Leipzig 6-1 at the Allianz Arena in Bundesliga matchday 6. Colombian striker Luis Díaz scored three goals in the match. According to reports, Harry Kane also added to the scoring in the victory.

The rout came after Bayern suffered two disappointing results the previous week, collecting draws. The return to winning ways came against a rival considered significant in the domestic competition.

For RB Leipzig, managed by Argentine Martín Demichelis, the defeat carried special significance given that the coach had been a player at Bayern for seven seasons before starting his managerial career. Demichelis went from declaring before the match that they came to win to apologizing for the result.

Luis Díaz ended a personal drought by scoring against Leipzig. The Colombian had previously netted in a Champions League match against Viking, adding two consecutive appearances with a goal.

After their performance against Leipzig, Bayern prepared to face Arsenal in the Champions League. Luis Díaz was substituted during that encounter after 22 minutes on the pitch, though he later reported that his injury was not serious.

The Bayern-Arsenal match at the Allianz Arena ended 2-2 in matchday three of the Champions League league phase. According to reports, Harry Kane contributed with an assist and a goal in that encounter. Arsenal accumulated seven points after three matchdays, while Bayern totalled four points.
