""We were dominant in the first half. The first ten minutes after the break were more difficult. But I was impressed by our composure, the fact we didn't lose our heads after going behind. We then equalized from a set piece and decided the game with a second set piece and Lennart Karl's great goal. It was the tough match we expected; Sporting are a good team,""
""We're absolutely delighted to have won. It was a huge step forward. It's great that Alphonso Davies was able to play his first few minutes. An eight-month rehabilitation is extremely demanding, mentally as well. So it was a wonderful moment to get those first minutes and then be back at full strength in January.""
Bayern Munich dominated large portions of the Champions League match but reached halftime 0-0 before ultimately winning 3-1 over Sporting CP. Bayern conceded early yet maintained composure, equalized from a set piece and secured victory with another set piece plus Lennart Karl's strong goal. An own goal from Joshua Kimmich was the single misstep amid an otherwise excellent performance. Alphonso Davies returned to play his first minutes after an eight-month rehabilitation, a significant morale boost. The win generated positive feelings, marked a step forward, and provided momentum ahead of the Bundesliga match versus Mainz 05.
