"Bayern Munich extended their winning streak to nine games across all competitions by clinching a comfortable 5-1 win against Pafos on matchday two of the Champions League. The Bavarian club ensured that a tricky away fixture turned out to be a professional victory. Vincent Kompany made some key changes to the starting XI. Raphael Guerreiro returned to the team after a brief spell on the sidelines due to injury. Joshua Kimmich was fit enough to start, while Nicolas Jackson got his first Champions League start for the Bavarian club."
"Bayern continued from where they left off against Werder Bremen on Friday. The visitors put intense pressure on Pafos in the early exchanges as Luis Diaz forced an incredible save from the goalkeeper in the seventh minute. Harry Kane came close to opening the scoring in the ninth minute as his bicycle kick hit the frame of the goal. The early pressure from the visitors paid off in the 15th minute as Kane opened the scoring after a neat bit of play by Luis Diaz to find Michael Olise on the right flank. The former Crystal Palace forward found the run of Kane in the box with a sweetly timed pass. There was still a lot of work to do for Kane as the angle was acute, but he managed to beat the goalkeeper with his powerful shot."
