Having said goodbye to Robert Lewandowski this summer, many wondered whether Bayern Munich would be quite as imperious in the Bundesliga.
But Bayern fans can relax, because the early signs are very good.
The champions travelled to face Eintracht Frankfurt to kick off the new Bundesliga season on Friday night, and it took them just five minutes to go in front, with Joshua Kimmich finding the net with a clever free-kick to catch the goalkeeper out at his near post.
And in the 10th minute it was 2-0, with Benjamin Pavard rattling home a loose ball from inside the area.
Then, with not even 30 minutes on the clock, Sadio Mané made it 3-0 with his first Bundesliga goal, before Jamal Musiala soon made it four.
And on the stroke of half-time, Serge Gnabry got on the scoresheet to make it five different goalscorers and 5-0.
What a start!
No Lewandowski? No problem.
