Bayern Munich opened 2026 in ruthless fashion, delivering their biggest win of the season as the reigning Bundesliga champions dismantled VfL Wolfsburg in a staggering 8-1 home victory.

It was a performance that perfectly summed up Bayern’s attacking power. Although Wolfsburg briefly responded to Bayern’s early opener to offer a flicker of resistance, that moment only seemed to provoke the hosts. From that point on, the contest turned into a one-sided exhibition of dominance inside the Allianz Arena.

Wave after wave of attacks followed, with Bayern Munich overwhelming their opponents through pace, movement and clinical finishing. Goals from Brahim Diaz, Raphaël Guerreiro, Harry Kane, Leon Goretzka and a superb brace from Michael Olise powered the champions to an emphatic scoreline that left Wolfsburg with no answers.
