Bayern Munich routs Stuttgart 5-1 to open Bundesliga season

The 64th season of the Bundesliga kicked off with defending champions Bayern Munich asserting dominance over VfB Stuttgart, securing a decisive 5-1 victory. This win not only marked a strong start to their campaign but also extended their impressive streak of 15 consecutive unbeaten opening matches in the league.

Dayot Upamecano opened the scoring for Bayern in the 21st minute. VfB Stuttgart managed to equalize briefly in the 52nd minute through Josha Vagnoman, who found the net past Manuel Neuer in his 600th appearance for the Munich club. However, Bayern quickly regained control.

“

Here is my benchmark: we must be convinced that underlying inflation is moving toward our target – clearly and with sufficient speed.

Michael Olise restored Bayern's lead in the 55th minute, followed by an own goal from Vagnoman in the 57th minute that further widened the gap. Aleksandar Pavlović added a fourth goal in the 82nd minute, and Luis Díaz sealed the emphatic home win in second-half stoppage time before a sold-out crowd of 75,000 spectators at the Munich Arena.

Otherwise, we still have work ahead of us.
