Ganz starke Leistung, Männer!
The Bavarians announced their 11th consecutive Bundesliga title at the start of the campaign and crushed the reigning Europa League champions against Real Madrid (Spain) in the UEFA Super Cup next week with new reinforcements from Senegalese Sadio Ma Inside.
Mané, who scored against Leipzig in the German Super Cup last week, was one of five players to score in the first half, with all of Bayern's goals coming within 38 minutes.
“I must say the first half was excellent,” said Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann. “I don’t think it will be like this forever, but after two games we will be satisfied.”
“The energy we have in our game is very good,” he said.
Eintracht Frankfurt, who will compete in the Champions League this season, improved after the break, taking advantage of Bayern's slow pace and goalkeeper Neuer's mistake outside the box, with Randall Colo Muani in the 19th minute.
However, Musiala closed the scoring, completing an assist from Leroy Sané to score his second goal of the night seven minutes from time.
