Bayern Munich swept aside FC Pafos in the former’s second Champions League match to the tune of a 5-1 scoreline. Raphaël Guerreiro, Michael Olise, Nicolas Jackson, and Harry Kane with two goals did the damage.
Now it might have looked like an easy win (as Kane mentioned), Bayern coach Vincent Kompany thought it was the complete opposite.
“It looked easy, but it wasn’t at all,” Kompany stressed (as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia). “We won, the result was big, but I’m confident that Pafos will be difficult to play against, especially at home. In the second half we had to fight and work hard to stabilize the game. Then we became more and more dangerous again. I’m sure Pafos will have a good experience in the Champions League.”
Pafos set up to launch counters against Bayern and they did make it difficult for the visitors, even scoring an outrageous goal that stumped Manuel Neuer.
