Bayern has started with the expected victory in the new Champions League season. Against the Serbian champion Red Star, the Munich won 3: 0 (1: 0). The goals were scored by Frenchman Kingsley Coman (34th minute), Robert Lewandowski (80th) and substitute Thomas Müller (90th + 1th).

Thus, the team of coach Niko Kovac equal to the leaders in Group B took over after the other group opponents, Olympiakos Piraeus and Tottenham Hotspur, had recently played 2-2 (1: 2).

Against the clear outsider Red Star Kovac had four days after the 1-1 in Leipzig decided against winger Serge Gnabry and for access Ivan Perisic in the starting XI. Instead of Müller Philippe Coutinho began behind the head Lewandowski. And the Brazilian, on loan from FC Barcelona, ​​was the most prominent player on the field. A tight shot of the 27-year-old stroked thinly over the crossbar (21st minute). Another attempt just before half-time missed the goal barely (44.).

Bad chance utilization of the Munich

But before that Perisic made his appearance: On the left attack side of the Croats came from Inter Milan, flanked in the middle, and Coman heading for a 1-0 lead (34). Lewandowski could have increased to 2: 0, but the shot of Poland defused Red Star keeper Milan Borjan (45. + 1).

In half two Bayern made further pressure against mostly harmless Serbs, without doing efficiently before the gate. Perisic failed after a cross from Joshua Kimmich from eight meters to Borjan (55.). Moments later, the Red Star goalkeeper parried again good against Lewandowski (57.).

When Perisic hit the bar shortly before his substitution and Lewandowski put the margin in the case over the goal (65.), the Munich had finally a topic for the game analysis: the lack of opportunity exploitation.

And if the former German national player Marko Marin had missed the goal in the 77th minute, then the negligence of the Munich might still be just. So Lewandowski but still took a chance and dusted off to 2: 0 (80). It was the 200th competitive goal of Poland for Bayern.

Substitute Müller then struck after a free-kick by Thiago to 3: 0 (90 + 1). Only at the end was the result befitting.
