Bayern travel with a three-point lead, having trailed by five when Heynckes retook the reins. It should have been the first of successive Bundesliga games to really test Bayern for the first time in a long time. When Leipzig and Bayern had met in the DfB Pokal at the Red Bull Arena in midweek, it had been a match that sizzled with intent. The call was probably right, though the fact it was Leipzig’s third red card in four games against Bayern obviously nagged at the visitors. It was a real shame, too, with Leipzig arriving full of confidence and seemingly well-tooled to properly examine Heynckes’ side.
