5 things we learned from Bayern Munich's Supercup win over Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich battled for the German Supercup on Sunday in an entertaining match that ended 2-0 in favor of the Bavarian giants. Here are five things we learned from the match.

Bayern Munich is Carlo Ancelotti’s team now
Forty-five percent possession. Those numbers would be cause for crisis under Pep Guardiola's reign, but this new Bayern are fully indoctrinated into Carletto's system. Bayern patiently allowed Dortmund to dominate possession, happy to keep numbers behind the ball and counter-attack. They were ruthless when they did counter, but this was a far cry from the ball-hoarding, high-pressing Bayern we were accustomed to seeing under Guardiola. New Bayern is here, whether you're ready for it or not.

Borussia Dortmund is going to be a ton of fun this year
Seriously fun. Thomas Tuchel had this team humming last season, but they lost arguably their three best players in Mats Hummels, Ilkay Gundogan, and Henrikh Mikhitaryan over the summer. That doesn't seem to matter for Dortmund though, and their replacements already look right at home. Former Bayern midfielder Sebastian Rode was a commanding presence in midfield, 18-year-old Felix Passlack was a freight engine down Dortmund's right, and Ousmane Dembele looks like he was born for the sole purpose of embarrassing human beings on a soccer field.

Ousmane Dembele is too saucy
Dembele is 19 years old and he plays like it. He's filled with infallible Teen Confidence™ and he can, and will, try anything on the field. Every time he gets the ball it's straight down the opposition's throat, and in Dortmund's pell-mell counter-attacking system he's got full freedom of expression. He's far from the finished article, but man, what we've got right in front of us is already fantastic. This kid is must-watch TV.

Thomas Muller is still doing Thomas Muller things
Muller's 79th minute goal made it 3 in 6 German Cups, tying the record for most appearances, and setting a record for the Most Thomas Muller Game Of All Time. Thomas Muller didn't pop up on the radar too much. He was tidy in possession, sprung Bayern on counter attacks a few times, and then, as if on cue, popped up with a goal to kill the game off, and ruin any momentum Dortmund had built up till that point.

Manuel Neuer is fantastic but scary
Germany's no. 1 is the leader of the new breed of goalkeeper. He's an unmatched shot stopper, he reads the game like a sweeper, and he's the deepest lying playmaker in the game. He's also terrifying to watch. He believes in his ability on the ball so much, he'll try anything back there. Personally, I like to not be heart in mouth every time my goalkeeper receives a back pass, but I can understand his appeal.
