Bayern Munich's big off-season signing Sadio Mane has hit the ground running for the Bavarian giants, helping them make history three games into his Bundesliga career.
Following a scintillating end to his Liverpool career, it seems the Senegalese forward has picked up right where he left off as he continues to bag goals in Germany.
Mane called time on his tenure with the Merseyside club in June and then made the move to the Allianz Arena, where he has already scored three goals in three matches for Die Roten.
Senegal's all-time leading goalscorer has contributed to what has been an extraordinary start to the 2022/23 campaign for the reigning Bundesliga champions – Bayern have found the back of the net 15 times in three matches already as they look to accomplish the unprecedented feat of winning 11 consecutive German top-flight titles.
Julian Nagelsmann's men have conceded only once so far, and according to Opta Sports, the nine points and goal difference of +14 after three games is the most dominant start by a Bundesliga team in the competition's history.
Despite club icon Robert Lewandowski's departure to Barcelona in July, Bayern are yet to miss a beat. Along with the signing of Mane, the two-time treble winners also extended the contract of Serge Gnabry, who has also been among the goals.
Mane and Gnabry's contributions have also been supplemented by the goal involvements of Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane, who were involved in four of Bayern's seven goals against VfL Bochum on Sunday.
Here are the most expensive Bayern signings in the club's history:
