Bayern Munich sent Friday the opening of the Bundesliga a chilling message to all their future opponents, Germans and Europeans, blasting Schalke 8-0, with a hat-trick from Serge Gnabry.
Bayern rookie star Leroy Sané scored once and delivered two assists to Gnabry, for his first start since arriving from Manchester City, for 45 million euros.
"They annihilate their adversaries"
Goretzka, Lewandowski from the penalty spot, Müller and the very young Jamal Musiala, who became the youngest goalscorer in club history at 17, scored the other goals.
A few weeks after his cup-championship-Champions League treble, the "Rekordmeister" gave himself up to an insolent demonstration against a courageous but completely overwhelmed Gelsenkirchen team.

“They do not beat their opponents, they destroy them,” Borussia Dortmund boss Hans-Joachim Watzke said before the opening of this Bundesliga.
His little phrase risks becoming proverbial.
Dortmund, which receives Mönchengladbach on Saturday for the first shock of this Bundesliga, and Leipzig, semi-finalist of the Champions League, are warned: they will face a monster this season.
