Bayern Munich Kick Off New Season with a Win

Bayern Munich began the 2025-26 Bundesliga season on a high note, securing a 6-0 victory over RB Leipzig in their opening match at the Allianz Arena. This triumph marked a successful start for the Bavarian giants, who are looking to build on their impressive form from the previous season.

In the 2024-25 campaign, Bayern Munich, under the guidance of manager Vincent Kompany, claimed their first Bundesliga title in 11 seasons. They finished 13 points clear of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, ending Leverkusen's hold on the title. The team amassed 82 points, 10 more than the points they accumulated in the season before, and scored 99 league goals, their joint second-highest tally since the 1972-73 season.

Harry Kane, who joined Bayern Munich in the previous transfer window, contributed significantly to the team's success, contributing to 34 of their league goals. This impressive display earned him the Bundesliga's Most Valuable Player award.

The title win was secured at Kompany's first attempt as manager, making it a historic moment for the club. Despite being knocked out of the Club World Cup quarter-finals by Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich started the new season with a win, defeating Stuttgart 2-1 in the German Super Cup final.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig, who finished seventh in the previous season, missing out on European qualification for the first time in nine years, faced a tough start to the new season under their new head coach, Ole Werner. The opening match against Bayern Munich was Werner's first Bundesliga game in charge, and it ended in a disastrous 6-0 defeat for Leipzig.

The 2025-26 Bundesliga season opened with Bayern Munich facing RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena on a Friday, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in German football. As Bayern Munich look to defend their title, and RB Leipzig aim to bounce back, the race for the Bundesliga crown promises to be as competitive as ever.
