Champions League holders Bayern Munich extended their record to 12 consecutive wins in the competition by beating Atletico Madrid
Just 59 days after winning the 2020 title in Lisbon, Hansi Flick’s side were again in disturbing form as they did light work on Diego Simeone’s generally tight side
Winger Kingsley Coman, winner of the match against Paris St-Germain in Lisbon at the end of August, scored in either half of a superb multiple game
Midfielders Leon Goretzka and Corentin Tolisso also found the back of the net in an almost flawless performance from the German giants
Only Real Madrid and AC Milan have retained the European Cup since Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest pulled off the feat in 1980, but few would be back against a repeat from Bayern this time around
Bayern were already bookmakers favorites before this warning sign, which saw the holders rain in 16 efforts on goal
Coman opened the scoring by skillfully collecting a pass from Joshua Kimmich to shoot over the goal and the French winger then found Goretzka who doubled the lead with an incline practice
Atleti had an early response in the second half ruled out for offside and Tolisso took the win with a fantastic deflected shot from 25 meters
Bayern scored a club-record 43 goals in last year’s campaign and made four for this run when Coman ran on Thomas Muller’s smart pass to escape the center line and find the farthest corner
