Bayern fail to score for first time in 59 games
Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich failed to score for the first time in 59 competitive matches as newly promoted Schalke held them to a goalless draw in Gelsenkirchen.
Bayern Munich's Bundesliga champions failed to score in their first match since the start of the season, resulting in a goalless draw against Schalke. Newcomer Schalke managed to hold Bayern to a draw, marking the team's first point of the season. Luis Diaz, the closest to scoring for Bayern, missed a series of chances, including one-on-one opportunities with Schalke's goalkeeper Loris Karius.
Bayern manager Vincent Kompany decided to make changes to the lineup, benching Harry Kane and Michael Olise in favor of introducing Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala late in the game. Musiala made his first appearance of the season following seizures during two pre-season matches. Bayern's Konrad Laimer hit the side netting, while Kane was fortunate to receive a crucial save from Karius.
Despite dominating possession, Bayern failed to break through Schalke's disciplined defense, leaving the team without a top position in the Bundesliga table. Bayern will face Bodo/Glimt in their opening Champions League match, followed by a trip to Bundesliga newcomers Elversberg on September 13.
