Brilliant Bayern Munich thump Atletico Madrid
Champions League holders Bayern Munich extended their record run to 12 straight wins in your competition because they thumped Atletico Madrid.
Just 59 days after lifting the 2020 title in Lisbon, Hansi Flick's side were in ominous form again because they made light work of Diego Simeone's usually watertight side.
Winger Kingsley Coman, matchwinner against Paris St-Germain in Lisbon at the end of August, scored in either half a superb all-round display.
Midfielders Leon Goretzka and Corentin Tolisso also found the trunk of the net in a near-faultless performance from the German giants.
ONLY Madrid and AC Milan have retained the European Cup since Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest managed the feat in 1980, but few would back against a Bayern continue doing this time around.
Bayern were already favourites with the bookmakers before this danger sign, which saw the holders rain in 16 efforts on goal.
Coman opened the scoring when he deftly collected a Joshua Kimmich pass to fire across goal and the France winger then found Goretzka who doubled the lead with an angled drive.
Atleti had an early response in the next half ruled out for offside and Tolisso wrapped up victory with an excellent swerving shot from 25 yards.
Bayern scored a club record 43 goals in last year's campaign and made it four because of this run when Coman ran to Thomas Muller's clever pass to sprint clear from the halfway line and discover the far corner.
