What is the story about?
Bayern
Munich convincingly beat Sporting CP 3-1 in the Champions League and there were many possible takeaways from the victory. Here are some of ours:
- Bayern Munich was completely dominant and if not for one mental mistake, it could have easily been a clean-sheet for Manuel Neuer.
- Neuer’s two biggest challenges came from his own players hitting him with some friendly fire.
- Aleksandar Pavlović is a smooth pimp (can’t complete the rest of this quote from Jay, but we can end the quote there and still get the same effectiveness).
- Lennart Karl is a problem. He is a match-up nightmare for the opposition and could be on the verge of making it very difficult to keep him off the field.
- Bayern Munich right wing Michael Olise was terrorizing the left-side of Sporting CP’s defense.
- It was good to see Alphonso Davies back.
- Even though Bayern Munich did not score early, it just always felt like a matter of time.
- Now, Kompany can rotate a bit against Mainz.
