In what was supposedly the toughest group game against FC Barcelona, FC Bayern won 3-0 (1-0).
The club has thus celebrated a perfect start to this year's Champions League season.
Read comments from the international media about the game here.
GREAT BRITAIN:
“The Guardian”:
“It wasn't eight (goals), not this time, but it wasn't great.
Two goals from Robert Lewandowski and one from Thomas Müller completed a 3-0 win, which was more about the overwhelming superiority of the guests than the numbers. "
ITALY:
»La Gazzetta dello Sport«:
»Bavaria is mistreating Barça at Camp Nou (...).
A comfortable 3-0 Bayern with a brace from Lewandowski.
(...) The ghost of this humiliating 2: 8, with which the Germans destroyed the Blaugrana, does not appear again.
But the group's first game confirms that there is currently a rift between the two teams. "
SPAIN:
»As«:
»An image of inability.
A FC Bayern (...) takes care of a Barcelona that is incapable of even provoking. "
»El País«:
»The Blaugrana ensemble is no longer capable.
The Barça team, very tame and lacking resistance, crashes again, beaten by an enormously superior FC Bayern at Camp Nou. "
»El Mundo«:
»Barcelona buries its greatness.
This Ronald Koeman Barcelona is light years away both from Bavaria, once again the hangman, and from the other teams of the European bourgeoisie.
(...) The ball no longer serves him (the Barcelona club), just running after him (...) and praying that the goals conceded don't pile up. "
AUSTRIA:
»Kronen Zeitung«
: »Lewa is dancing!
Sabitzer's Bayern dismantle Demir's Barca.
(...) Barcelona looked comparatively conservative after the departure of club icon Lionel Messi.
The Catalans achieved very little forward, Bayern did not have to go to their maximum in any phase of the game, the class difference between the two teams was obvious. "
SWITZERLAND:
»Blick«:
»Bayern skin Barça from their own stadium.
(...) 13 months ago Bayern beat Barcelona away in the Champions League with 8: 2.
(...) A 0: 3 is not a 2: 8.
But the Catalans are far from taking revenge.
Again beating from Bayern.
You can feel sorry for Barça and their fans. "
