Will Bayern Munich dominate German football at their pleasure again this season? Bayern's performance in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup against Borussia Dortmund (2:1) gave one TV expert some cause for concern at times.

Bayern Munich celebrated the double again in May for the first time since 2020. The side under head manager Vincent Kompany enters this season once again as the top favorite in domestic competitions. With the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup, they already secured their first title last weekend.

Former professional Markus Babbel analyzed Bayern's performance against Borussia Dortmund on ran.de, noting that he saw clearly superior Bayern for 60 minutes, which gave him some cause for concern at times. He pointed out that Harry Kane and Michael Olise have only recently been in full training and are already delivering such performances, raising the question of what it will look like once both players are in peak condition.

Babbel continued that Bayern ran out of steam in the final half hour because Borussia Dortmund played significantly better. He noted that in the first half, Dortmund's performance was disappointing as they made it easy for Bayern. After the break, he added, Dortmund showed the potential they possess.

Hunger and fighting spirit at Bayern Munich

Sixteen points separated Borussia Dortmund from the champions in the last Bundesliga season. Babbel demanded that the black and yellows must dare to hold their own footballically against a side like Bayern, as they are capable of playing better than just launching long balls forward.

According to the 1996 European champion, only Bayern Munich will decide the championship. Borussia Dortmund has only a chance if Bayern falter, which he does not see happening at the moment. He emphasized that Bayern still possess that hunger and fighting spirit, and he even has the feeling that they have drawn even closer together following their narrow elimination from the Champions League.
