I totally disagree, bayern 2020 made every pass and run with the intent to score, almost never to hold the ball. Every pass is intended to open your defense. If you react well they try something else. If you don't well ... sorry for you.

Just look at their chapions league final goal. Or even look at their 2021 first match against PSG. Barcelona was in the strangulating business. Bayern was in the smashing things open business.

That was indeed brilliant. Loved to watch that. Explosive attack, instant chaos. Wonderful football. Reminded me of Bayern playing under Heynckes, very similar in style.

The key thing here is: Bayern has the best striker in the world, Lewandowski. So they will keep passing the ball around, until the opportunity arises to pass to him, and he knows what to do with such gift. Spain in the Euro tried to play the same tactics, but they lack a good striker, making the whole game incredibly boring.
