Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga title defense got off to a perfect start at the Allianz Arena, with the Bavarian giants thrashing Leipzig 6-0.
Bayern had defeated Stuttgart 2-1 last week to win the German Super Cup.
Despite criticism directed at Bayern Munich for their squad size and inconsistent performances, Vincent Kompany’s side delivered a stunning performance in their first test against Leipzig.
Harry Kane scored a hat-trick, while new signing Luis Diaz scored his first Bundesliga goal and assisted two others.
The match also saw remarkable brilliance from Frenchman Michael Oliseh, who scored two goals, while Serge Gnabry also contributed significantly with two assists.
Although Leipzig is one of the strongest German teams, it performed very modestly in new coach Uli Werner’s first official match.
It’s worth noting that Manuel Neuer, at the age of 40, participated in this match, his 20th season in the Bundesliga, making him the second-most capped player in the German league behind Klaus Fichtel (22 seasons).
