How Premier League overtook Bayern Munich for Germany 🏴

The Bavarians’ influence over Die Mannschaft is gradually being eroded after Saturday’s Nations League clash with Hungary.
Niclas Füllkrug opened the scoring for Julian Nagelsmann’s side midway through the first half at Düsseldorf’s Merkur Spiel-Arena.
In doing so, the West Ham striker extended the prolific run of Premier League players in the competition for the four-time world champions.

The sequence was finally broken in the second half by Bayern’s Jamal Musiala before Florian Wirtz extended the advantage.
