FC Bayern put its fans in a celebratory mood even without the Oktoberfest.
The Munich team gave VfL Bochum a lot in their Wiesn jerseys at 7-0 (4-0) on Saturday.
Leroy Sané (17th minute), Joshua Kimmich (27th / 65th), Serge Gnabry (32nd), Vasilios Lampropoulos (43rd / own goal), record man Robert Lewandowski (61st) and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (79th) ) ensured the highest league win of the season for the playful German soccer series champion, who thus took over the top of the table.
In the arena in front of 25,000 spectators, the "Super Bayern" were cheered with La Ola waves and master choirs.
After away wins with a signal effect in the 4: 1 against RB Leipzig and in the 3: 0 against FC Barcelona, the goal-hungry ensemble of coach Julian Nagelsmann committed against the promoted team.
The initial courage of the guests quickly evaporated, but with some hair-raising mistakes, the Bochum team didn't make it particularly difficult for the permanent champions.
The day that was originally reserved for the start of the world's largest folk festival, which was canceled again due to the corona pandemic, became the Bavarian gate party.
And VfL suffered their biggest Bundesliga defeat.
After his contract extension until 2026, the Bochum-born Leon Goretzka was particularly looking forward to the game against the home club, but another Ruhrpott kicker triumphed especially in the early stages.
Sané, active as a child at the then VfL rival Wattenscheid 09, started with a remarkable free kick.
From 25 meters he overcame the Bochum wall with technical class.
A little later, the national player, which was heavily criticized in the EM summer, played as a preparer for the completely undisturbed Kimmich.
For the first time as a Bayern professional, Sané was always involved in at least one goal in five competitive games.
Thomas Müller once again underlined his reputation as a template expert.
After Gnabry and Sané had missed the 3-0 shortly after each other (30th), Gnabry hurried after Müller-pass of the VfL defense and finished well.
At 4-0, Müller tried to serve Lewandowski - but Lampropoulos was on the ball in front of the Pole. However, he overcame the Bochum goalkeeper Manuel Riemann with his clumsy attempt at clarification.
Even after the break, the guests who came without the lead player Simon Zoller, who had been missing for a long time after a cruciate ligament rupture, had nothing to counter the Munich force.
Sané failed in two shot attempts.
Lewandowski was a bit late at first, but was the first player in league history to score in 13 home games in a row.
Kimmich made it 6-0 after preliminary work by Goretzka. The newcomers Omar Richards at the Bundesliga debut and Marcel Sabitzer at the first home game for the new club were able to cheer after their substitutions on the pitch. Joker Choupo-Moting also scored - after failing twice in this scene against Riemann.
