Bayern Munich secured a commanding 5-0 victory at home against Bodo-Glimt in their Champions League clash, with Jamal Musiala making a memorable return to the starting lineup by opening the scoring. The Germany international, who had missed two matches due to a neurological condition that caused him to collapse during pre-season friendlies, was warmly celebrated by his teammates after netting the first goal of the night.
Joining Musiala on the scoresheet were Michael Olise, who impressively contributed two goals, as well as Harry Kane and Alphonso Davies, helping the six-time European champions maintain their dominance in the competition. Kane acknowledged Musiala’s resilience, highlighting the challenges he faced earlier in the season and expressing pride in his teammate’s comeback and evident joy on the pitch.
Bayern’s Continued Champions League Dominance
This victory extended Bayern’s remarkable streak to 24 consecutive wins in their opening Champions League group stage matches, a run dating back to 2002. Despite a spirited effort from last season’s surprise quarter-finalists, Bodo-Glimt, they struggled to keep pace in the second half. Their defense was further compromised when Odin Bjortuft received a straight red card for a last-man foul in the closing minutes, sealing their fate in the match.
Bayern’s coach, Vincent Kompany, made three changes to the squad for this fixture, with Musiala’s return proving especially impactful as the team cruised to a decisive victory, reaffirming their status as European heavyweights.
