Bayern kicked off the post-Lewandowski era in the Bundesliga by edging Eintracht 1-6 on Friday of Frankfurt, champions of the Europa League and on August 10 will face Real Madrid in the European Super Cup. In the match that opened the 2022-23 German championship, the Munich team was a steamroller in the first half, finishing 0-5. For his part, Sadio Mané, until this summer one of Liverpool’s emblems, made his Bundesliga debut scoring Bayern’s third goal and making good combinations with his new teammates.
The first half was a nightmare for Eintracht Frankfurt, who had a lot of defensive problems and paid dearly for them. Bayern, champions of Germany in the last ten editions of the tournament, took the lead in the 5th minute, when Joshua Kimmich scored a free kick. And in the 11th minute, the second goal for the Bavarians took place, the work of Benjamin Pavard, after the play of Thomas Müller and Jamal Musiala.

At a stroke of half an hour, at 29′, It was Mané’s turn to score his first Bundesliga goal, led, assisted by Serge Gnabry. Both, Mané and Gnabry, acted at the point of attack, but it is clear that, without Lewandowski, the bet of Julian Nagelsmann, coach of Bayern, is that their attacking players change positions.
The fourth is from Musiala, assisted by Thomas Müller in the 35th minute. And Müller also sent the ball himself allowing Gnabry to make it 0-5 in the 43rd minute. A full message from the eternal German champion to his rivals at the opening of the 2022-23 Bundesliga. The runner-up, Borussia Dortmund, will face third-placed Bayer Leverkusen this Saturday. Leipzig visit Stuttgart on Sunday.
Eintracht Frankfurt improved in the second half and, after Kristijan Jakic’s goal was disallowed for offside, it was Kolo Muani, following an error by Manuel Neuer, who closed the gap in the 64th minute against a Bayern whose foot had been taken off the accelerator. But Musiala, after Leroy Sané’s pass, completed his brace in the 83rd minute. In the second half, Ryan Gravenberch, Mathys Tel, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui made their debut with Bayern in the Bundesliga.
