Ahead of the Champions League opener at home, Bayern Munich set a fantastic precedent for themselves, winning 5-0 at home against newly-promoted Hamburger SV. While HSV is hardly a comparison to the kinds of teams the Bavarians face in Europe, an emphatic win featuring several great performances from the attack is the perfect morale boost ahead of major fixtures.
Earlier, the honorary president Uli Hoeneß made a statement in the DFL General Assembly, suggesting Bayern are underdogs this season in the Champions League — suggesting their position in Europe was the equivalent of TSG Hoffenheim’s position in the league. “Nobody is betting on us,” the exact words he spoke, indirectly diminishing his own club’s capacities in front of the entire nation. Youch.
When Serge Gnabry was asked about his take on the statement, he stated he had no clue such a thing was even spoken. “I didn’t hear what Uli said - so I don’t know what he meant,” he said, per@iMiaSanMia.
“We want to advance as far as possible in the Champions League. It’s the competition that appeals to us the most. I don’t think we’re underdogs. We have a very good team. Everything’s possible,” he declared.
Well done Serge. Now go remind the Londoners who you are and what you did to them last time.
Bayern Munich returned to action in the Bundesliga by hosting Hamburger SV and just crushed the visitors.
The Bavarians took home a 5-0 victory in a game that was never close. Bayern Munich was dominant from the outset and wasted little time in giving Hamburg a not so friendly welcome back to Germany’s top flight.
