As far as Bundesliga openers go, it doesn’t get much juicier than this. Bayern Munich face off against reigning Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt, in front of 50k of the league’s most boisterous fanbases. It should be quite something.
Of course, for Julian Nagelsmann and the players, the objective remains the same. Keep winning, no matter what. Any slip up is a disaster, any moment of weakness will reverberate through the fanbase and the media for weeks to come.
Thomas Muller once said that Bayern Munich players don’t win games to savor the victory — they do it to enjoy a Sunday in peace. That’s the kind of pressure we’re talking about.
