There was a lot of noise about the move from former FCB striker Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona.
The victory in Frankfurt showed that it is also possible without the Poles.
Munich – A few hours after Robert Lewandowski (33) was officially presented at FC Barcelona with great fanfare, his former Munich offensive colleagues were challenged in Frankfurt - and immediately made the super striker with the 6-1 opening success forget how

Kimmich explains genius free kick: Crucial tip from Bavaria's standard whisperer
Joshua Kimmich (27) needed just five minutes before he thundered Eintracht goalkeeper Kevin Trapp (32) a free kick in the pyro fog from a long distance into the short corner.
"Dino Toppmöller already announced it a bit during the week.
We practiced lateral free kicks and he said I should have a look because Trapp is always a bit higher.
You can give it a try.”
The second goal also came from a standard situation.
Benjamin Pavard (26) used Frankfurt's lack of concentration after a corner kick to make it 2-0.
The remaining four goals were reserved for the new Munich pace offensive with Sadio Mané (30), Jamal Musiala (19) and Serge Gnabry (27).
Thomas Müller (32) didn't make it onto the top scorers list, but he shone as a three-time preparer.
With the 5-3 victory in the Supercup against RB Leipzig, Munich have now scored eleven goals in the first two competitive games of the season.

Coach Nagelsmann sees new FCB in attack: "We are very variable at the top"
"It's not easy to defend when the players up front start to gamble.
It's fun to watch," said coach Julian Nagelsmann (35) about his offensive series and stated: "We are very variable at the top.
Sadio Mané gives us more flexibility.
Some of that is disgusting to defend.”
What's more: Without Lewandowski, to whom the entire attacking game was tailored in the past, the Bayern attackers seemed liberated and their game unleashed.
"We have to find other ways to score goals up front," said Musiala, who once again performed outstandingly, scoring twice, about whom Hasan Salihamidzic (45) said: "Jamal is in a very good mood, scores goals, is important for our game.
Why should he be left outside?”
The old and new command center in the souped-up Bayern storm, Thomas Müller, added: "It gives us a good feeling that our concept and the changes are working well so far.
This skepticism, which was discussed in advance - because there was a massive change - we pushed into the background with eleven goals in two games against the cup winner and the Europa League winner."

Frankfurt wanted to counter it offensively - Bayern-Sturm punished this mercilessly
But the storm truth also means that Frankfurt's style of play has accommodated Bayern.
With the self-confidence as a Europa League winner, Eintracht wanted to appear dominant - and were punished.
"It wasn't a game in which we besieged the penalty area.
It was a game in which we quickly bridged the midfield and looked for depth,” analyzed Müller.
That's why, despite all the hymns of praise for the new high-speed storm, he puts on the brakes: "There will also be other games where we say: Today the center forward was missing, who is very rare all over the world.
At the end we always discuss results.
Today was good, from that point of view everything is fine." (bok/pk)
