"For the first time, Bayern Munich dressed a 2010 player - 16-year-old center-back Filip Pavić - as part of its squad to face Atalanta in the Champions League. To go even further, the teenager entered the match in the 72nd minute after Luis Díaz scored a fantastic goal to make it 4-0."
"For the game, Pavić asserted himself quite nicely and finished with 18 minutes, while completing all 33 of his passes. It was a good first experience in a very low pressure situation for the Bavarians. Hopefully, this is start of a long and fruitful career with the first team for Pavić."
Bayern Munich defeated Atalanta 4-1 in a Champions League match featuring two youth debuts. Sixteen-year-old center-back Filip Pavić entered the match in the 72nd minute, becoming the youngest player born in 2010 to represent Bayern in the competition. Eighteen-year-old midfielder/defender Deniz Ofli also made his debut, entering at the 56-minute mark. Pavić completed all 33 of his passes during his 18-minute appearance, demonstrating composure in a low-pressure situation. Both young players' debuts represent Bayern's continued investment in developing youth talent alongside their competitive squad.
