Bayern Munich is the best team in the world. The German giants proved that by winning the Champions League in August on the back of eight straight Bundesliga titles. But based on the way Bayern opened its 2020-21 campaign, including a stunning Robert Lewandowski rabona assist, Die Roten might be even better this season.
The 2020-21 Bundesliga season started on Friday. Starting this season, ESPN has the U.S. TV rights to the league. For this reason, the Worldwide Leader is actually paying attention to the German league, which is a nice change of pace given FOX’s disappointing coverage of the Bundesliga in recent years.

Hamburg defender Toni Leistner went full Eric Dier and then some with a Dynamo Dresden fan after his team was knocked out in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on Monday. Dresden was relegated from the 2. Bundesliga last season but got revenge with a shocking 4-1 upset of Hamburg.
It’s not entirely clear what happened, but the Dresden fan must have said/done something to cause Leistner to jump into the stands and let him have it.
After miraculously finding a way to finish top European competitions and leagues amid a pandemic, the after-effects are already being seen.

Lionel Messi is desperate to get out of Barcelona. His hope of leaving on a free transfer is looking more and more like fantasy after LaLiga’s latest statement ruling his contract is still valid and a club will have to pay $833 million to trigger his release clause.
Hopefully, the party was worth it. Knowing what it was celebrating, it probably was.
Leon Bailey will miss part of Bayer Leverkusen’s preseason after Jamaican authorities forced him into a 14-day quarantine. The reason? He was at the birthday party of Usain Bolt, who last week became one of the most high-profile athletes to test positive for Covid-19.
Lewandowski made waves this year with his performance, and he even surpassed Messi's goal count for last year's Ballon d'Or. Many say he was clearly snubbed for the award this year.
A compliation of some of Lewandowski's most clutch goals of the season.
USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie can breathe a sigh of relief knowing he won’t have to help carry the burning carcass of Schalke for another Bundesliga season. The once-juggernaut German club could be fearing relegation next season. This is no worry to McKennie as news broke on Wednesday that he will reportedly be playing with Juventus.
