The new season of the Bundesliga is almost upon us, with many new faces and teams on tap. Bayern Munich infamously sacked off the last season to finish at a frankly embarrassing third. Therefore, the opening game will be between unlikely champs Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern’s bogey team Borussia Mönchengladbach at the latter’s home ground:
The opening game of the new Bundesliga season will be played between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen at Borussia-Park on Friday, August 23. Unlike previous years, Bayern will play their first game on Saturday. The rest of the fixtures will be announced at 12:00.

For the past 11 years, Bayern has always opened the new season until now. That should serve as motivation to bring back the Meisterschale back to its rightful home in Munich. The Rekordmeister is going all out in the transfer window to make sure their squad is the best in Germany.
