Bayern Munich played a Champions League game against Bodo/Glimt this week without leaving Germany, hosting the Norwegian side at the Allianz Arena.Today, the Bavarians will play the final game of the third Bundesliga round, but are currently out of the country!##EDITORS_CHOICE##How? All thanks to a little travel catch.Bayern will lock horns with Elversberg (18.30), one of the Bundesliga's newcomers and most pleasant surprises, away from home. However, given that the Black and White hail from a small town of only around 13,000 people with no nearby airport, the only way for the Munich giants to get there would be a four-and-a-half-hour drive (over 420 km).Therefore, the Bavarians came up with a plan.Since Spiesen-Elversberg is close to where Germany, France, and Luxembourg meet, Bayern's traveling party flew to Luxembourg and will reach the rivals' Ursapharm-Arena with a one-hour drive (78 km), avoiding an unnecessarily long and exhausting journey.🚨 DAVID VS GOLIATH: €58M ELVERSBERG HOST €1.04BN BAYERN!Elversberg have shocked Germany with two wins from their opening two matches—beating Leverkusen before a dramatic victory over Gladbach.Now the surprise package face their biggest test as Bundesliga champions Bayern… pic.twitter.com/b9hEdGew4U— BurleJunior (@BurleJunior) September 11, 2026 "First you fly for an hour and then you drive for an hour by bus. Then you get there at some point and play some football. That's all there is to it," said the Bavarians' boss Vincent Kompany at the pre-match press conference via BILD, refusing to highlight the trip instead of focusing on the game itself.While Bayern slipped against Schalke last week (0-0), Elversberg have started their first-ever top-flight campaign with two wins, beating Bayer Leverkusen at home and Borussia Monchengladbach on the road.Hence, Bayern will have to be very cautious. They've taken care of the journey. Now they have to take care of business on the pitch.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 3FridayUnion Berlin – Schalke 1-3 (0-1)/Skarke 90+6 – Gosens 25, Aouchiche 46, Weber 90+13/SaturdayAugsburg – Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 (0-1)/Gregoritsch 50, 55 – Kofane 18, Schick 89/Dortmund – Paderborn 3-0 (1-0)/Silva 5, Nmecha 80, 89/Freiburg – Monchengladbach 5-0 (2-0)/Engelhardt 23, 79, Matanovic 39, 77, Eggestein 86/Hoffenheim – Stuttgart 2-1 (1-0)/Hlozek 13, 67 – Mittelstadt 48/Mainz – Eintracht Frankfurt 1-3 (0-2)/Tietz 89 – Uzun 9, 60 Bukhardt 45+1/Koln – Werder Bremen 1-1 (1-0)/Maina 11 – Fullkrug 69/Sunday16.30: (1.38) RB Leipzig (5.20) Hamburger (7.00)18.30: (13.0) Elversberg (7.75) Bayern Munich (1.18)***odds are subject to change***
