Bayern Munich face their first test post-Lewandowski, the German Super Cup

A renewed Bayern Munich will raise the curtain on the German season for another title clash for  the German Super Cup, in which they will face Red Bull Leipzig, who will try to take advantage of the changes in the squad to cause a surprise.

Although friendly matches have already been played without Robert Lewandowski on the pitch, it will be difficult to see the Bavarian team playing for the first title of the season without their former star striker at the forefront of the attack. However, there is no time for regrets and if there is one thing Bayern have always boasted of, it is to sign the right player to replace their stars. In this case, a certain Sadio Mané will be the one to occupy the front line, free to attack after the departure of the Pole.

But it is not only the Senegalese who will have the important and impossible task of matching the more than 40 goals per season that Lewandowski has been scoring over the last seven seasons, which is an understatement to say the least. On the flanks, to support Mané, will be Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry, who finally will remain in Munich this season. And just behind, Thomas Müller and his fine right foot will once again be a weapon.

On the other hand, Matthijs de Ligt's time has not yet come. The Dutchman only recently arrived from Juventus and Naglesmann will be relying on his center-back pairing of Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Hernandez from last season, while Alphonso Davies will continue to be a permanent fixture once his heart problems have been cleared up.

Leipzig look to take advantage of new squad

On the other side of the pitch will be Red Bull Leipzig, who will be looking to take advantage of two factors. The first, and obvious, is Bayern's supposed lack of punch without Lewandowski, and the second is that they are perfectly familiar with Naglesmann's style of play.
