Guardiola’s system, with a twist

Bayern at present are beginning to resemble a combination of the old Guardiola system at Barca and the new one in Bavaria. The possession count is similarly dominant and the pressing just as relentless. The biggest difference, however, has been the number of goals scored from crosses. Barcelona refrained from using the tactic, but die Münchner have scored seven times courtesy of service from wide positions in their ten games so far, with six headed goals, more than any other side.
