"In Madrid, Bayern looked the stronger side, but got off to a horrendous start. Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir was called for a penalty for what looked to be fairly incidental contact with her elbow as she jostled with an attacker in the box, and the visitors found themselves in a hole inside of 15 minutes as a result. The fight-back was there, though, and though the half ended 1-0 it eventually paid dividends."
"Klara Bühl connected with Pernille Harder twice, two stars of the game flexing their muscle for FC Bayern. The first saw Harder turn nimbly and fire into the net (off a deflection) with three defenders closing in in front of her. The second was typical Bühl, marauding down the left flank to receive a ball in acres of space somehow, jinking past her marker and fizzing a ball across the face of goal for Harder to latch onto."
Bayern Munich fought back from an early penalty to draw 2-2 away at Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Women's Champions League, leaving them sixth after five matchdays and level on points with Juventus and Real Madrid but behind on goal differential. Barcelona, Lyon, and Chelsea top the group; only the first four qualify automatically for the quarterfinals. Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir conceded an early spot kick. Klara Bühl and Pernille Harder combined for two Bayern goals. Giulia Gwinn missed a second-half penalty. Atlético equalized late through Fiamma Benítez's powerful strike off the inside of the crossbar.
