Bayern Munich shook off their Champions League exit disappointment at the hands of Inter with an emphatic 4-0 Bundesliga win over Heidenheim at the Voith-Arena. Goals from Harry Kane, Konrad Laimer, Kingsley Coman and Joshua Kimmich saw that Bayern is now only two wins away from lifting the Meisterschale , but that could certainly change these next couple of weeks if Bayer Leverkusen have any sort of slip-ups themselves. Even with the amount of injuries Vincent Kompany has been dealt with as the season reaches its crucial, closing stages, Bayern made a strong account of themselves in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals at Inter.
They fell just short, losing 4-3 on aggregate, which means that there is now added impetus to wrapping up the Bundesliga title. By this time last season, Leverkusen had already wrapped up the title mathematically, but its Bayern’ time to return to the top of the German footballing pedestal. After the 4-0 routing of Heidenheim, Kimmich, who scored Bayern’s fourth goal of the match, stressed the importance of the Rekordmeister needing to exhibit a level of consistency, which they have not necessarily done for parts of this season across all fronts.
“We always want to be there in important moments. But the reality is that every 3 days is important. Every game is important.
We can’t say that only the Champions League is important and not the Bundesliga. We felt that today and saw how we celebrated every goal. It was a very important step towards the title,” the midfielder stressed (via @iMiaSanMia ).

For now, Kimmich reiterated that Bayern is just focusing on taking care of their own business and not worried about what Leverkusen may or may not do right behind them in the table. “We’re now 9 points ahead and Leverkusen have to win.
But we’re not really looking at them. We have to win at least two more games to secure the title,” he emphasized. Having already tallied 87 league goals from the 30 matches played so far, Bayern has the chance to clinch the title and reach a century of goals on the season in doing so, which would improve on the 94 goals they scored last season, albeit in a season that included losing eight league matches.
