Bundesliga is one of the most popular and interesting European leagues, with sell-out stadiums, exciting football and lots of goals. The new season started on a Friday night, with a Bayern’s home game against Stuttgart. It was a great opening game, as Stuttgart finished fourth in the league last season and certainly are a strong team. But, just like last year, the Bavarians are too strong and this game looked like it was a continuation of the last season. On the last day of 2025/26, Bayern defeated Cologne 5-1 and then defeated Stuttgart in the German Cup final (3-0). Three months have passed by, a World Cup was played, new players arrived for both teams but it didn’t matter nothing – Bayern crushed Stuttgart 5-1 and as always, it could have been more. For any other football fan (apart from Bayern’s), this looks to be another boring season in which nobody will be able to challenge the Bavarians for the title. Vincent Kompany’s players destroyed Stuttgart as they wanted to set the tone to the rest of the league, and they did. They were not even satisfied with 4-1 and attacked as if it was 0-0, hence the fifth goal in injury time. As always, the only real battle in Germany will be for the second and third place.The only reason why the score was only 1-0 at halftime were goalkeepers. Both Fabian Bredlow and Manuel Neuer had some excellent saves which added to the excitement of the game. Stuttgart was the first team to create a good chance, but as aways, when you don’t use your chances against a top team, you will be punished. Bayern used theirs and it was already 1-0 after 20 minutes. Dayot Upamecano rose highest from a corner in the first half, showed great awareness and made sure the scoreline changed. The only real moment of crisis the Bavarians went through came at the start of the second half. They failed to clear their lines inside the box and Josha Vagnoman hammered the ball into the net. Looking at the final score, neither he nor Stuttgart needed that moment, and perhaps that reaction would never have happened otherwise.🇩🇪 | Bayern Minich 5 – 1 Stuttgart.🚨GOAL! ⚽️ 90+2’ LUIS DIAZ MAKES IT FIVE FOR BAYERN MUNICH✅ pic.twitter.com/H9doeG2qP0— Ayuba | Football News (@ayubafootball) August 28, 2026 Bayern shifted into turbo mode and tore Stuttgart apart within three minutes. Joshua Kimmich pulled the ball back and Michael Olise placed it exactly where he wanted it. The Frenchman had already hit the post from a free-kick earlier, before later seeing another goal ruled out for offside. Alphonso Davies also had a huge influence on Bayern's performance today. He was constantly switching positions and seemed to be everywhere on the pitch. He played a major role in Bayern scoring another goal almost immediately after the French winger's strike. He whipped a dangerous ball into the box, and Josha Vagnoman failed to deal with it. Vincent Kompany sensed blood and opted for fresh legs, sending another new arrival, Ismael Saibari, on for Nathaniel Brown. And he could hardly have made a better decision. The Moroccan played a part in both Aleksandar Pavlović's and Luis Díaz's late goals.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 1FridayBayern Munich – Stuttgart 5-1 (1-0)/Upamecano 21, Olise 55, Vagnoman 57 (og), Pavlovic 82, Diaz 90+2/Saturday16.30: (5.00) Elversberg (4.50) Leverkusen (1.60)16.30: (2.95) Koln (3.50) Hoffenheim (2.35)16.30: (1.70) Mainz (4.10) Paderborn (4.80)16.30: (1.57) RB Leipzig (4.10) Monchengladbach (5.80)16.30: (2.65) Union Berlin (3.25) Eintracht Frankfurt (2.75)19.30: (1.32) Dortmund (5.60) Hamburger (8.50)Sunday16.30: (2.05) Freiburg (3.45) Werder (3.60)18.30: (2.25) Augsburg (3.45) Schalke (3.15)***odds are subject to change***
