For the second time in the last two months, Bayern Munich scored eight goals in one game during their Bundesliga return vs Schalke. 

Bayern Munich’s eight goals against FC Barcelona were already an incredible achievement, but they wanted to repeat that against Schalke tonight. The Bavarian giants are on a roll and they don’t show any signs of slowing down. Thiago Alcantara’s exit from the club didn’t seem to hurt this goal-scoring machine that gave us a good show against Schalke tonight. We didn’t only confirm this is one of the strongest clubs in the continent.

The whole world knows that they are coming for all the titles this season once again with new players to showcase. There is a special mention for two specific names in a constellation filled with world-beaters that we will mention. You will also get to enjoy all the goals scored by the champs. 

Gnabry and Sane, a deadly duo. 

We need to talk about the impressive showing that Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry gave to the entire world. The two players debuted their new shirt numbers, 7 and 10. The same that another historic Bayern duo sported during another golden era at the club. Gnabry took Franck Ribery’s legacy and Sane did the same with Arjen Robben’s.

Their first official match with these numbers couldn’t be more perfect to start their new chapter. Serge opened the score with a brilliant turn-around solo effort after a long range assist from Joshua Kimmich. Leon Goretzka scored the second one against his former club without a celebration out of respect. Robert Lewandowski got his from the spot after getting fouled inside the box, this all happened before the 30-minute mark. 

A second half spectacle from Bayern. 

The first half ended with this result but more was coming after the break. There were already sensations that something scandalous could happen. This is when Gnabry began connecting with Leroy Sane. The former Manchester City player proved he is completely past his knee injury by the look of his amazing speed. He assisted Serge in the next two goals right after the break and scored the seventh goal after a lightning speed showcase.

It’s clear that the number 10 jersey fits him. The sixth goal was something special from Thomas Müller due to the ‘rabona’ assist from Robert Lewandowski. And the icing on the cake came from 17-year-old Jamal Musiala. He became the youngest Bayern goal-scorer in the Bundesliga’s history with the final goal. Every club in Europe should tremble before Hansi Flick’s Bayern, they are here to win it all again.
