Bayern Munich launched their 64th Bundesliga season with a resounding 5-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart, signaling their intent to dominate once again. The Bavarian giants showcased a powerful performance, particularly in the second half, to overwhelm their opponents and satisfy their home crowd.

It was very, very intense, especially in the first half we didn't find the spaces. I thought towards the end of the first half it got a bit better, it got a bit clearer.

โ€” Joshua KimmichDescribing the team's performance in the first half

Michael Olise was the star of the match, demonstrating his skill and impact. He scored a crucial goal and was involved in other key moments, living up to the "magician" moniker. The win also marked a significant milestone for goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who played his 600th official match for Bayern Munich.

While Stuttgart offered some resistance, especially in the first half, Bayern's quality eventually shone through. Dayot Upamecano opened the scoring from a corner, but Stuttgart briefly equalized through Josha Vagnoman. However, Bayern quickly responded, with Olise netting a goal assisted by Joshua Kimmich, and an own goal by Vagnoman putting Bayern back in control.

We gave everything from start to finish. It's often against Stuttgart that the middle of the second half breaks down a bit. We keep going and don't stop.

โ€” Aleksandar PavlovicCommenting on the team's sustained effort

Further goals from Aleksandar Pavlovic and Luis Dรญaz, the latter assisted by new signing Ismael Saibari, sealed the comprehensive victory. The performance served as a strong statement early in the season, extending Bayern's impressive streak of opening matches without a loss.

Because they put the balls in.
