"Bayern doubled their lead 10 minutes later through Olise, who brilliantly cut inside from the right-hand side before bending a delicious, curling effort into the bottom-left corner."
"Vincent Kompany's side needed just 12 minutes to open the scoring when they caught Atalanta napping from a short corner, with Gnabry laying the ball on a plate for Stanisic to tuck beyond Marco Carnesecchi from inside the six-yard box."
"Bayern were among the favourites to win the Champions League this season, and they did their chances no harm here as they netted at least six goals in an away European knockout round match for just the second time."
Bayern Munich delivered a devastating performance against Atalanta, winning 6-1 in their Champions League last-16 first-leg match. Michael Olise was the standout performer, scoring twice and providing an assist. Josip Stanisic opened the scoring from a short corner in the 12th minute, followed by Olise's curling finish. Serge Gnabry added a third before halftime. After the break, Nicolas Jackson extended Bayern's lead on the counter-attack, with Olise scoring again and Jamal Musiala adding a sixth. Atalanta managed a consolation goal through Mario Pasalic in stoppage time. Bayern's clinical finishing and dominant display puts them firmly in the quarter-final picture.
