Game scene: In the 70th minute, Robert Lewandowski transferred the squad to Thomas Müller, who executed. So far so normal. However, Lewandowski passed the ball cross-legged, with the shooting leg behind the supporting leg, which is called Rabona in football parlance. It is the height of humiliation. He was the summary of this match in a leg movement, no Bayern fan should make fun of Neymar in the future.
The first half: FC Bayern competed without Thiago, missing Liverpool, without David Alaba, currently in dispute, who should have suffered a muscle injury, and without shooting star Alphonso Davies. And what he did? Of course nothing. The Flick team continued to play as if it were still the Champions League and Lisbon. A matching game on a rope. With the 3: 0 completely overwhelmed, Schalke continued to serve very well.
The second half: Goal after goal, all holds broken, and Clemens Tönnies was also sitting in the stands of Munich’s empty stadium, which no longer has an office, but still seemed to be checking the number of potential coaching successors on his smartphone. This half couldn’t have been worse for the Royal Blues. Bayern were intoxicated and former Schalke Leroy Sané also scored his first goal. Strong debut of Sané.
Game player: Actually Serge Gnabry, who once again outscored everyone else on offense. But those bright nights have almost become a habit for Gnabry. For Jamal Musiala, 17, however, it will remain unforgettable. You will soon be able to read in all the Bayern chronicles that, at 17 years and 205 days, he is the youngest shooter in the Bundesliga at Bayern Munich.
The king of numbers: Robert Lewandowski and numbers are a wide field. Somewhere between tax burden and tax control. The sports stats: The center forward scored his Bayern 163 goal and beat Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. He is now in second place behind the unassailable Gerd Müller. Even more numbers: Lewandowski scored for the seventh time in a Bundesliga opener, setting the record for Klaus Fischer. Even those old records are taken from Schalke. You really have nothing left.
The opponent: Schalke surrendered without a fight, a surrender that had to paralyze all Royal Blue fans. Bayern have always been superior to Schalke recently, they have also won significantly recently, in the long Bundesliga record against Schalke they now have a goal difference of 222: 104. Still: it was never that bad. A lot has happened since that 6: 6, when young Olaf Thon scored three Cup goals against Bayern. The two teams have probably never been as far apart as they are today when they played in the same league.
Atmosphere of the game: An empty arena in which Sasha sings the national anthem: there is no better way to illustrate that the Bundesliga will have to slow down. The city of Munich had forbidden the access of spectators: the Bavarian board of directors was still sitting very close without any distance, apparently now they are so close in Munich that they are already considered home. After all, as the honorary president always emphasizes, FC Bayern is one big family.
Knowledge of the game: Two years ago, SPIEGEL had already congratulated FC Bayern on the championship after matchday one. That is, of course, a shame, and we no longer do it. Instead, the congratulations go straight to the titles won in the next two seasons.
