Bayern Munich Open Bundesliga Title Defence With 5-1 Rout Of Stuttgart
· Sports · Sportstar, Bavarian Football Works
Bayern Munich began its Bundesliga title defence with a commanding 5-1 win over Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena on Friday. Dayot Upamecano opened the scoring in the 21st minute with a header from a Joshua Kimmich corner, before Stuttgart equalised through Josha Vagnoman. Bayern then struck twice in three minutes to take control, with Michael Olise finishing off Kimmich's interception of Angelo Stiller's poor pass and Vagnoman inadvertently turning Alphonso Davies' low cross into his own net after slipping. Aleksandar Pavlovic added a fourth from an Ismael Saibari assist, and Luis Diaz completed the rout with a late strike from another Saibari pass. The victory extended Bayern's unbeaten run in Bundesliga season openers to 15 matches, signalling another ominous display from the Bavarians.
Why it matters
Bayern's record-extending 15-match unbeaten streak in Bundesliga openers reinforces their status as title favourites and sets the tone for Vincent Kompany's second season in charge. The attacking output from new signings Diaz and Olise, alongside midfield reinforcements Saibari and Pavlovic, signals Bayern's strengthened depth as they chase another league crown.
