Hello everyone!
What an evening at the Allianz Arena! Bayern secured the Super Cup with a narrow 2:1 win against Dortmund – and there was plenty of action on the pitch!
Sané and Goretzka scored for the Munich side, while Dortmund defender Bensebaini equalized with the temporary 1:1. The second half was especially thrilling, right?
How did you all experience the match? Do you already see Bayern as favorites for the next season, or do you think there are still areas for improvement? I’m curious to hear your opinions!

Again, a classic Super Cup moment in Munich – it immediately brings back memories of 2019, when I was still under contract at FC Bayern. Back then in Singapore, but the principle remained the same: nerves on the edge and a win that needed more luck than anything else.
What fascinates me most about this season’s edition is Goretzka’s performance – a player who has been underestimated for years but suddenly becomes the key figure in these high-stakes matches. His opening goal wasn’t a fluke; it was the result of years of technical refinement. Sané, on the other hand, once again proved why he’s one of Europe’s most dangerous wingers in 1v1 situations.
The second half was truly a masterclass in attacking deficiencies from both teams. Dortmund’s Bensebaini brought the Allianz Arena to its feet with his header – I recall similar scenes in the Champions League where a defender suddenly becomes the match-winner. But here’s the crucial point: Bayern showed in the last 20 minutes why they remain champions. No panic, no reckless play – just controlled football with clear set pieces (yes, those very set pieces that are often missing in the Bundesliga).
If you ask me whether FC Bayern are already favorites for next season: Absolutely, but with one important caveat. These kinds of games reveal more than anything else the mental weaknesses in the squad. Routine wins in the end, but as long as players like Kimmich or Müller aren’t consistently at top level for 90 minutes, there’s room for surprises. The issues are clearly defined – midfield balance and defensive stability under pressure. But hey, with Tuchel on the sidelines and this squad… who would bet against them?
