A rollercoaster of a game that saw some Bayern Munich fans call for manager Vincent Kompany to be sacked when the team was 3-2 up, but when the dust settled there was nothing but jubilation as Bayern went on to win 9-2.
While these games would not normally pose a challenge for Bayern, it has made for an exciting start to the new Champions League campaign for Bayern Munich.
Kompany ball continues to expose defensive weaknesses
For a moment it looked like Bayern would completely collapse, conceding two goals to make it 3-2 — defensively Bayern have not been their forte in recent years, and Kompany and company certainly need to improve — but it’s clear the team has no confidence issues.
Welcome to the Harry Kane Show
Kane scored four goals on the night, three of which were from the penalty spot. He will be desperate to win a trophy this season and after this game he will surely have at least the personal honour of being the competition’s top scorer. It was a fantastic performance.
Olise is finally back on track.
Michael Oliseh has shown signs of promise so far this season, but the young winger had yet to prove his worth until this game. Scoring two goals on his Champions League debut could be the start of a big breakthrough for the Frenchman. Oliseh has great potential and Bayern need to realise it if they are to win the title this season.
