Boateng wary of 'dangerous' Hamburg

Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng is not expecting an easy encounter against his former side Hamburg on Friday.

Jerome Boateng believes Bayern Munich's Bundesliga opener against Hamburg on Friday is "dangerous" and has warned fans not to expect the defending champion to "destroy every opponent" this season.

Bayern starts the quest for a fourth successive domestic league crown against a side that secured top-flight safety via the playoffs last season. Pep Guardiola's men are overwhelming favourites to claim the three points at the Allianz Arena but Boateng believes his former club will prove to be a tricky opponent.
