Bayern Munich Thumped Schalke On Friday Night

Bayern Munich have started this season where they left off last term. In their opening match of the 2020-21 Bundesliga season, they thrashed Schalke 8-0, but they were unable to break the record Atletico Madrid hold since 1955.

Bayern Munich have not lost sharpness since the Champions League final, completely the opposite. The German side started the Bundesliga 2020-21 season in the best way possible and their eight goals in the first match means they are already top of the table.

The Bavarians thrashed Schalke 8-0 in a match which saw Serge Gnabry score a hat trick and Lewandowski even got an assist with a rabona. But the Bundesliga champions fell one goal short of equalling Atletico Madrid’s record.

That said, it was the biggest margin of victory by a club in their opening league match of the season since Atletico’s triumph back in 1955, ‘Mister Chip’ said.

In that year, Atletico began the season with a 9-0 win over Hercules. That is the highest margin of victory for a side in their opening league match
