Bundesliga - Eintracht Frankfurt 1-6 Bayern Munich as it happened - Mane scores on league debut and Musiala bags brace

"It's not easy to play in Frankfurt," Julian Nagelsmann, the Bayern coach, said at his pre-match press conference.

"I don't know 100 percent what their squad will look like. Frankfurt are a strong team with a passionate fan base.

"It's the season opener, on a Friday night - it will be a good game."

Bayern Munich started life without Robert Lewandowski with a 5-3 win over RB Leipzig in last week's Super Cup.

Daichi Kamada's reward for scoring twice in Frankfurt's win over Magdeburg in the DBF Cup first-round is a place on the bench, with former Bayern Munich midfielder Sebastian Rode taking his place - alongside none other than Mario Gotze. No surprise that star player Filip Kostic is involved from the start.

But we're still waiting on Frankfurt's team!

The big talking point of the first Bayern starting XI of the season is the inclusion of Sadio Mane, who makes his debut in the Bundesliga having joined from Liverpool.

Fellow new boy Matthijs De Ligt, meanwhile, has to make do with a place on the bench.

Marcel Sabitzer partners Joshua Kimmich in central midfield and Jamal Musiala gets the nod ahead of Leroy Sane on the left flank.
