At Signal Iduna Park, home of the Yellows and Blacks, the match began with a tribute to the legend of the Bavarians and the Mannschaft Gerd Müller, who died on Sunday.

His namesake Thomas Müller brandished the “der bomber” jersey in the central circle, ahead of kick-off, to the applause of the 25,000 spectators authorized by the sanitary gauge.

Once launched, this "klassiker" bore the mark of his distant successor at Bayern Munich: Robert Lewandowski.

The Bavarians immediately took control of the game, imposing all-terrain pressure on the Borussen, who failed to put their game in place.

It is even by their aggressiveness that the Bavarians got their first chances in the quarter of an hour of play. On balls recovered high, Thomas Müller (14th) then Kingsley Coman (15th) worried the cage guarded by Gregor Kobel. But who other than Lewandowski, to unlock the meeting? By resuming with an angry head a cross from Serge Gnabry (41st), the Bayern striker allowed his to really get into the game.

The Polish striker confirms his sparkling form: by scoring 41 goals in just 29 appearances last season, he broke the record for goals scored in a season previously set by ... Gerd Müller.

The Bavarians then made the difference at a second key moment of the meeting: from the start of the second period, the indestructible Thomas Müller took back a ball that Lewandowski (50th) had missed.

First title for Julian Nagelsmann

Marco Reus, for a time, gave hope to the yellow and black people with a splendid strike (64th) in the top corner, before Lewandowski completed his recital (74th), after a pass from Manuel Akanji intercepted by Corentin Tolisso.

“It means a lot to me.

It must have been a really cool game for the fans to watch

,

”

said the Polish striker after the game.

The 32-year-old striker has now scored 24 goals in as many games against his former club, where he played from 2010 to 2014.

On the other side, Manuel Neuer disgusted Marco Reus and Erling Haaland, winning his duels against the yellow and black attackers.

Well contained by the Bavarian rearguard, the Norwegian prodigy had a frustrating match.

After a draw against Monchengladbach (1-1) at the start of the Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich is finally starting their season, relieving a little pressure on their new coach Julian Nagelsmann, who wins a first title ..

"It's a very important victory for the boys,"

said the Bavarian coach after the match, before praising the

"exceptional"

performance

of his striker. The only downside: his French striker Kingsley Coman was injured in the 49th minute, limping.
