Initial reactions and Observations
Losing three first team players to injury is the last thing that Bayern needs before the start of the season. Laimer, Kim, and Musiala are all indispensable in their own way and going down injured is incredibly unfortunate for them.
Bayern still struggles with speed when defending.
Ismael Saibari looked good in the cameo he made in this match.
That’s all, everyone! Bayern lifts the Telekom Cup at the expense of its players, but hopefully it all gets ironed out when the Bavarians take on Heidenheim in the tune-up match before the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Borussia Dortmund. Hope you all will join us for those matches! See you then.

Halftime Observations
Tim Binder is impressing more and more throughout preseason, ditto Sacha Boey. Both looked solid in the games they’ve played in so far.
The same can’t be said for Arijon Ibrahimović. Every passing game makes it look like he’s not even fit for Heindeheim with whom he spent a year on loan at.
Bayern still struggles with speed when defending attacks.
Luis Díaz is good but Bayern can’t run him into the ground this year.

8’ — Konrad Laimer goes into a challenge with David Raum and felt discomfort; Laimer is currently receiving treatment.
2’ — Leipzig get an early chance but couldn’t convert.
Kickoff! — Let’s go!
Bayern Munich is going to host RB Leipzig for the 2026 edition of the Telekom Cup. The Bavarians took on Tottenham Hotspur in the 2025 edition and won 4-0 thanks to goals from Harry Kane, Kingsley Coman, Lennart Karl, and Jonah Kusi-Asare.
With World Cup stars slowly coming back to the fold, the Rekordmeister will be looking to extend its preseason run of results, having won three of their last four matches. An old face returns in the form of Argentinian coach Martín Demichelis, who played for Bayern for seven years.
