Man of the Match: Harry Kane

Harry Kane scored at least 2 goals in a Bundesliga match for the 16th time. He now has 65 goals in his 64 Bundesliga appearances.

Full-time: Bayern Munich 6-0 RB Leipzig

After a positive start to the second half, Leipzig ended up crumbling once again as they conceded three more goals to the reigning champions. Harry Kane got all three of those goals, reminding everyone just how lethal a finisher he is. Antonio Nusa looked to have at least got his side a consolation goal past the hour mark, but although his goal was disallowed, his performance after joining the action after half-time is one positive Ole Werner can take from this torrid opening night for his side.

Half-time: Bayern Munich 3-0 RB Leipzig

What a start to the new season! Bayern flew out the blocks, with Díaz, Gnabry and Olise combining brilliantly throughout the first 45 to cause Ole Werner's side all sorts of problems. The visitors have struggled to cope with Bayern's intensity and clinical finishing, but still did have half chances of their own on the counter that they could have done better with.

Missed opportunity

A Raum corner finds Openda with plenty of space at the far post, but he snatches at the ball and Bayern can break away, again.

A brilliant ball inside the Leipzig left-back Raum finds Laimer with a clear sight of goal; he takes a touch before firing at goal, but the Hungarian shot-stopper is equal to it.

Diomande eager

The young winger tries to gain a yard of space in the Bayern box, but ends up clipping the heel of Goretzka after a loose touch, giving away a free-kick.

Eberl encouraged

"We've had some great [pres-season] games and good results," said Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl - Leipzig's former sporting director Max - at yesterday's pre-match press conference. "It's fantastic that, as FC Bayern, we won the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. We've secured the trophy. We need to clear our heads. Tomorrow we face our next test against very strong opposition."

Title rivals?

There have been 62 seasons of the Bundesliga to date. Bayern are the 33-time record winners and will take some beating in 2025/26. Can Leipzig - a top-flight club since 2016 - strike an opening-night blow and maybe, just maybe, go on to claim a maiden Bundesliga crown? They'd be the 13th different team not named Bayern to so do...

Goals galore ... again?

The last two matches between these teams produced 12 goals (5-1, 3-3) and with fresh attacking talent such as Luis Díaz and Johan Bakayoko ready to prove a point for their new sides, we could be set for another goal-fest in Munich.

Ex-Bulls leading the charge

Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer and Joshua Kimmich have all represented Leipzig on their way to Bundesliga stardom, and will now look to inflict defeat on their old side once again in the hope that it will set the tone for another title-winning season.

Kompany: The hunger is there

"We are mentally there, and that's important. The hunger is there," said the Bayern boss ahead of their season opener against the Red Bulls. "We've shown so far that we're totally ready to fight and we want to raise the bar a bit higher".

Summer signing set to feature

Leipzig fans will be eager to see their new signings in action, particularly Brazilian forward Rômulo, and Ole Werner had nothing but positive things to say about his new striker: "He's settled in well. Rômulo is a great guy, both on and off the pitch. There are many sides to his game: he's a ball-playing striker who is able to win possession for us. He's active inside the box and has a strong shot. He's fully fit and was able to complete a full pre-season in Türkiye. He's an option for tomorrow and has made a good impression so far."

Werner's Bayern record

The new Leipzig boss faced Bayern six times with former club Werder Bremen, winning just once and losing the remaining five games. He did, however, pull off a DFB Cup upset in the second round of the competition in 2021, beating the Bavarian giants with Holstein Kiel, then of Bundesliga 2, on penalties.

Leipzig to be without experienced duo

Lukas Klostermann, Tidiam Gomis and Andrija Maksimović have all returned to team training as they near returning from injury, but they'll remain unavailable for selection for Friday's game in Munich. Benny Henrichs is also still recovering from his Achilles tendon tear and won't be part of the squad either.

Werner looking forward to Bayern challenge

"I'm happy it's finally starting. The preparation went well, especially in terms of physical fitness; we are a team that is still developing but it's a great opportunity for us to show our game."

Kompany on facing Leipzig

"There's greater variability [at Leipzig]. They have a new coach and quite a new structure. They've signed some talented players and have a strong squad. Last season didn't go too well [for them], but they are certainly among our rivals. We have to take [Friday's] game very seriously."

Bischof laid low

Bayern will be without midfielder Tom Bischof for Friday's Bundesliga opener against Leipzig after the club announced the 20-year-old required surgery on his appendix. The defending Bundesliga champions announced that Bischof would be out of action, "for the foreseeable future."

1:32

Díaz goes native!

New Bayern signing capped off a memorable month by donning some traditional Bavarian lederhosen at the team's annual pre-season shoot with club partner Paulaner. "I'm really happy to be part of this fantastic culture here in Munich," the 28-year-old said, in a week when his goalscoring exploits helped his side capture the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.

Leipzig through in cup

Ole Werner's new side survived an early scare in the first round of the DFB Cup, twice having to come from behind to beat fourth-tier Sandhausen 4-2 on Saturday. Debutants Yan Diomande and Ezechiel Banzuzi both scored, alongside Willi Orbán and Xavi.
