Bayern have won the curtain-raiser on seven consecutive occasions but were also the last team to fail, drawing 2-2 with Hamburg way back in 2008.

Thomas Müller is the only player who was involved that day who remains at the club but wasn’t amongst the scorers, with Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lukas Podolski netting for the hosts.

Will Hertha – who have lost just one of their last six meetings with Bayern – stop the run of reigning champions at the Allianz Arena on Friday?
