Bayern Munich have started their 2025/2026 season in some style as they thrashed Ole Werner’s RB Leipzig by six goals to nil.
This is one of the heaviest defeats in recent Bundesliga opening game history.
Vincent Kompany outdid himself as his side only recorded a 3-2 victory for their opening league game against VfL Wolfsburg last season.
Going into the game, FC Bayern fielded their strongest XI, apart from the injured Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, the same players that started against VfB Stuttgart in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.
However, things were not the same for Ole Werner.
With the departures of important players like Benjamin Šeško and André Silva, they were short on attacking power.
The Bundesliga opener was a game to forget for the Leipzig supporters.
Through this tactical analysis, we aim to understand how Bayern Munich outmanoeuvred Leipzig to emerge victorious.
