The most difficult thing in football is defending the Champions League. Only Real Madrid did. The “kings” only lack a treble.
However, there is a team on stage, already the favorite to become the first to defend their three trophies from the previous season. Bayern beat Atlético monstrously, one of the toughest teams in the world, with 4: 0. Regardless of what Diego Simeone tried, there was no decision against the European champion, who won as if he was in control.
Since the start of last season in the tournament, Bayern have 12 consecutive victories with a goal difference of 47: 8! “There is no doubt that this is the best team in the world,” Simeone admitted. “Many of our mistakes were due to his class.”
Since Hansi Flick led Bayern, the team has 9 victories in the tournament. Under his leadership, the Bavarians have already played 20 games in which they have scored four or more goals. No other team in the five strongest championships has such an achievement. And Atlético repeated their biggest defeat under Simeone’s leadership, again on German soil and again 0: 4 against Borussia Dortmund in 2018. The “Colchones” scored two goals in the first half for the first time since 2014 against Olympiacos, when The star career of goalkeeper Jan Oblak started.
At the end of August, Bayern triumphed in the final against PSG with a goal from Kingsley Coman. The new campaign was “ignited” once again by the 24-year-old Frenchman with nine impressive titles in a row in his career.
Koman opened the scoring, assisted in the second goal and then scored the fourth. It is a miracle how the offensive power against Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Mueller remained “quiet.” The other goals came from midfielders Leon Gorecka and Corentin Tolisso. The Bavarians were not weakened even by the absence of starters Serge Gnabri (coronavirus) and Leroy Sane (injury). History has rarely seen such powerful and equal footballers.
Judge Michael Oliver entered the lens for the second time in five days. On Saturday, the referee did not send off Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who pulled Virgil van Dyke out of Liverpool at the end of the season with an ominous split. Fans in Munich ironically asked UEFA why they put him in the Atlético game. For a harmless violation of Thomas Mueller at the start of the collision, Oliver held up a card to the attacker. “What is this joke?” Mueller snapped after the game. “We played against the toughest team in the world and they punished me for this foul. Are they making fun of me?”
“Bayern are in the form of triples,” wrote the daily Bild. For the 17th consecutive season, the Bavarians began the Champions League with a victory.
