Daily Schmankerl: The aftermath of Bayern Munich vs. Pafos FC in the Champions League; Manchester City a threat to Bayern on Aleksandar Pavlovic?; Jose Mourinho to bring in Karim Benzema?; Arsenal eyeing Bayern academy product?; and MORE!

"Bayern Munich took care of business in Cyprus as it took down Pafos FC 5-1. The Bavarians were dominant with their attack and used an exceptional first half to power the effort. The second half of the match was not as sharp, but it did not really matter and it was not anything to fret over. Bayern Munich came, it saw, and it kicked ass. That was enough on the day. Here are some quick hitters on the match:"

"Bayern Munich was dominant from the outset, but it was not as if Pafos FC was going to just roll over. In fact, Pafos FC defender Derrick Luckassen seemed intent on being as physical as possible with Luis Díaz. Bayern Munich star Harry Kane (who else?) would get the scoring started in the 15th minute after a nice feed from Michael Olise."

Bayern Munich defeated Pafos FC 5-1, dominating with an exceptional first half and easing off in a less sharp second half. Vincent Kompany adjusted the starting lineup, bringing Nicolas Jackson in for Serge Gnabry, deploying Raphaël Guerreiro at left-back, and replacing Jonathan Tah with Kim Min-jae, while Aleksandar Pavlović partnered Joshua Kimmich in central midfield. Pafos FC showed physical intent through defender Derrick Luckassen. Harry Kane opened the scoring in the 15th minute, Guerreiro scored five minutes later, Nicolas Jackson netted his first in the 31st minute from a Michael Olise assist, and Kane added a second in the 34th minute.
