Bayern Crush Stuttgart 5-1 as Neuer Hits Career Milestones

Bayern Munich announced their Bundesliga title defence with a 5-1 demolition of VfB Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena.

After Josha Vagnoman cancelled out Dayot Upamecano’s header, Michael Olise restored the lead within minutes and the floodgates opened — including an own goal, Aleksandar Pavlović, and Luis Díaz, with new signing Ismael Saibari influential in the build-up.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer reached 600 competitive appearances for Bayern and started a 21st consecutive Bundesliga season, closing in on historic club appearance records held by legends such as Gerd Müller and Oliver Kahn.
