"Bayern Munich was completely dominant and if not for one mental mistake, it could have easily been a clean-sheet for Manuel Neuer. Neuer's two biggest challenges came from his own players hitting him with some friendly fire. Aleksandar Pavlović is a smooth pimp (can't complete the rest of this quote from Jay, but we can end the quote there and still get the same effectiveness). Lennart Karl is a problem."
"Bayern Munich right wing Michael Olise was terrorizing the left-side of Sporting CP's defense. It was good to see Alphonso Davies back. Even though Bayern Munich did not score early, it just always felt like a matter of time. Now, Kompany can rotate a bit against Mainz. What were your takeaways from the game? Tell us in the comments below..."
Bayern Munich dominated Sporting CP in a 3-1 Champions League win and nearly kept a clean sheet save for one mental mistake. Manuel Neuer faced his main challenges from friendly fire by his own teammates rather than Sporting's attackers. Aleksandar Pavlović drew a colorful compliment that underscored his smoothness on the ball. Lennart Karl posed serious problems as a match-up nightmare and may become indispensable. Michael Olise repeatedly tormented Sporting's left flank. Alphonso Davies returned to action. Despite a slow start to scoring, Bayern's control made goals feel inevitable, allowing Kompany scope to rotate against Mainz.
