Bayern Munich kicked off their Bundesliga season with a dominant 5-1 victory over Stuttgart, marking Vincent Kompany's third successive title challenge. Dayot Upamecano, Michael Olise, Aleksandar Pavlovic, and Luis Díaz all found the scoresheet, while Josha Vagnoman's own goal added to the rout. The win extended Bayern's remarkable 15-year unbeaten run in opening fixtures.

Manuel Neuer celebrated his 600th competitive appearance for the club. Stuttgart briefly leveled through Vagnoman, but Bayern responded swiftly, with Olise restoring the lead before Vagnoman's second own goal. Despite a goal-line stand from Neuer, the visitors were largely outclassed.

Harry Kane, who failed to score, assisted Olise, though a late goal was disallowed for offside. Bayern now turn their attention to an upcoming fixture in Osnabrück.
