FC Bayern leaves nothing left of VfL Bochum.

FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann had to make some changes in the line-up before the game - which turned out to be extremely successful.

Bochum – Julian Nagelsmann showed a golden touch in Bayern's 7-0 (4-0) victory in Bochum.

Because Jamal Musiala (strain) and Alphonso Davies (muscular problems) missed the away game due to injury and Serge Gnabry (hand injury) was only on the substitutes' bench, Leroy Sané, Matthijs de Ligt and Kingsley Coman celebrated their starting eleven premieres in the still young season.

The trio scored the first three goals against VfL in exactly this order.

FC Bayern: Nagelsmann speaks of dominance, the team shows it on the pitch

"The better the opponent gets into the game in away games, like here in Bochum, the more the euphoria grows," said Nagelsmann before kick-off at DAZN and predicted: "If you are dominant in the first 30 minutes and also radiate something, then the rising euphoria curve isn't there – and then it also becomes more difficult for the opponent.” No sooner said than done.

Four minutes were played when Sané initiated a pass combination worth seeing via Thomas Müller (32), Marcel Sabitzer (28) and Coman and completed it with a shot from 15 meters into the right angle.

It was the hoped-for reaction of the national player, who did not get beyond the role of noble joker in the first two Bundesliga games.

FC Bayern: De Ligt sets a defense chief exclamation mark

New signing de Ligt set a defense chief exclamation mark in the 25th minute.

After a corner kick at the second post, the beefy central defender came through with full force in a header duel and nodded off at the far post to make it 2-0.

The Dutchman had to worry briefly whether his first Bundesliga goal really counted because of an alleged handball, but after checking the video images the goal was awarded.

"It was clear to me that it wasn't my handball," said de Ligt.

Substitute Gnabry scored with a solid shot for the 7-0 final score

Even before half-time, Coman grabbed the lead (33') and Sadio Mané (43') with a ripped-off shot from seven yards into the near corner for the 4-0 lead at the break.

Shortly before, the Senegalese was denied another goal for handball via video evidence.

Mané still got his brace because he converted a penalty after a foul on Coman (59th).

An own goal by Bochum's Cristian Gamboa (69') and a powerful shot by substitute Gnabry from 13 meters (76') made the final 7-0 and the best start in history.

Never before has a Bundesliga team scored nine points in the first three matchdays and had a goal difference of 14 goals.

"The energy that is currently in the team is very pleasant," said coach Nagelsmann.

And some teams will still feel this energy this season.
