Bayern Munich have not lost sharpness since the Champions League final, completely the opposite. The German side started the Bundesliga 2020-21 season in the best way possible and their eight goals in the first match means they are already top of the table.
The Bavarians thrashed Schalke 8-0 in a match which saw Serge Gnabry score a hat trick and Lewandowski even got an assist with a rabona. But the Bundesliga champions fell one goal short of equalling Atletico Madrid's record.
That said, it was the biggest margin of victory by a club in their opening league match of the season since Atletico's triumph back in 1955, 'Mister Chip' said.
In that year, Atletico began the season with a 9-0 win over Hercules. That is the highest margin of victory for a side in their opening league match.
