Matchday 1 Bundesliga fixtures: Bundesliga results and Bundesliga highlighs

• Bayern Munich vs Schalke (8-0)

Hansi Flick's Bayern Munich began their 2020-21 Bundesliga campaign with a crushing 8-0 win over Schalke on Friday night. A hat-trick from Serge Gnabry as well as goals from Leon Goretzka, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala propelled Bayern Munich to the summit of the league table. Substitute Jamal Musiala became the youngster ever goalscorer for Bayern Munich, aged 17 years and 205 days old. 

Bayern fans also compared Gnabry and Sane to the iconic duo of Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, both of whom left the club in the summer of 2019. Another point to take away from Bayern's dominant win was that they kept a clean sheet during the game. Bayern had the best defensive record last season and will look to continue their impressive defensive displays this season. 

• Borussia Dortmund vs Borrusia Monchengladbach (3-0)

Lucien Favre's Dortmund began their new Bundesliga season with a convincing 3-0 win over rivals Monchengladbach. Giovanni Reyna opened the scoring for the Black and Yellows with his first goal in the Bundesliga before Erling Haaland scored twice in the second half to earn all three points for Dortmund. Jadon Sancho also got an assist for Haaland's second goal amid rumours of a move to Man United before the transfer window shuts.
