"Bayern lined up with Manuel Neuer in goal and Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Tah and Josip Stanišić in defence. Aleksandar Pavlović and Kimmich anchored a midfield featuring Michael Olise, Karl and Gnabry, with Harry Kane up front. Raphaël Guerreiro, Hiroki Ito, Leon Goretzka, comeback kid Alphonso Davies and Nicolas Jackson took over from Karl, Stanišić, Pavlović, Gnabry and Kane late in the second half."
"The pattern of the game was soon established with Bayern in control and Sporting sitting deep. Kane fired over from distance before Gnabry's cutback invited Karl to curl home, but the flag was up for Gnabry's offside position. Karl mishit a volley and Gnabry fired wide after a fine run. Munich were dominant, but stray passing often spoiled promising moves. Gnabry saw another effort saved before Neuer made a strong reflex stop to keep out a failed Tah clearance."
FC Bayern secured a 3-1 win over Sporting in the Champions League, taking a major step toward a top-eight finish. Sporting took the lead early in the second half via a Joshua Kimmich own goal. Serge Gnabry equalised from an Olise corner before Lennart Karl restored the lead with a powerful finish. Jonathan Tah completed the scoring after a Gnabry header. Bayern dominated possession and created numerous chances but struggled with stray passing in the first half. Manuel Neuer made key saves and several late substitutions refreshed the Munich side.
