BAYERN ARE SUPERCUP CHAMPIONS
What a sensational curtain raiser to the season that was ! Bayern were cruising, leading 3-0 at the break thanks to goals from Musiala, Mane and Pavard. Halstenberg's header gave Leipzig hope, but Gnabry then restored the visitors' big lead. Nkunku netted from the spot before Olmo's near-post effort set up a grand-stand finish. Deep into injury time, Sane made sure Bayern won the Supercup with a breakaway goal.

SURPASSING XG
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

SANE MAKES SURE
Olmo sends a Hail Mary pass into the Bayern box but the visitors win possession and break forward through Sane. He jinks left and right before rolling the ball past Gulacsi and that is well and truly that!

LEIPZIG WORRY
Plenty of concern for the hosts here, of course. Domenico Tedesco's men have it all to do in the second half as the teams come out. Leipzig have only ever trailed by a three-goal margin at the break once before since Bundesliga promotion: that was against Leverkusen in April 2018. Die Roten Bullen would eventually lose that match 5-2.

HALF TIME FACTS
With Bayern cruising, it's worth noting that only once in a Supercup has there been a bigger half-time leading margin than today. It happened back in 1990 when Bayern (again) were 4-0 up against Kaiserslautern.

Mane arrives at Bayern having weighed in with 120 goals and 48 assists in 269 competitive appearances with Liverpool. Let the fireworks commence!

TODAY'S THE DAY
What a game we have in store later today, with last year's DFB Cup winners RB Leipzig host reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in the traditional curtain-raiser for the new campaign. Will Christopher Nkunku pick up where he left-off last season and how will the likes of Sadio Mane and Matthijs de Ligt fare on their competitive debuts for Bayern? So many questions, so many answers to come when we kick-off at 8.30pm CEST. You don't want to miss this.

"We’ve got several weeks of training first,” Leipzig head coach Domenico Tedesco told the club website at the end of June as he led his team’s pre-season preparations on their first day back after a summer break. “I’m not focusing on the Supercup yet. Of course though, it’s a final, so we’ll be playing to win it. We’re obviously looking forward to it too.”
