Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Stuttgart 3-2 to open Bundesliga Matchday 7 without setting a record for the worst start. Antonio Nusa's five assists in seven games make him Leipzig's key man after two assists in a 4-0 win over Elversberg; Werder Bremen climbed to sixth with a 3-2 win at Mainz powered by Niclas Füllkrug's double; and Köln's Said El Mala avoided any punishment for a push on Schalke's Soufian El-Faouzi that injured Robin Gosens in a 0-0 draw.
RB Leipzig scored four times after the break to beat Elversberg 4-0 at the Red Bull Arena. Antonio Nusa created the first two goals, while Rômulo struck twice and Christoph Baumgartner marked his return from injury with a late header.
Real Madrid made it three wins from three in the 2026-27 Champions League with a commanding 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig at the Santiago Bernabeu, featuring goals from Bernardo Silva, Arda Guler, Kylian Mbappe and substitute Yan Diomande. Mbappe scored and assisted in the same Champions League match for the first time in his Madrid career, while 19-year-old Diomande became the youngest Madrid substitute to score and assist in a Champions League game.
Bayern Munich responded to their two-game winless run with a ruthless 6-1 demolition of RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena, as Luis Diaz scored the first hat-trick of his professional career. Harry Kane marked his 100th Bundesliga appearance with a goal and two assists, while Andrija Maksimovic grabbed a late consolation on his return to Munich.
