Kane score in rout as Bayern Munich beat Bodo/Glimt

England captain Harry Kane netted his 55th Champions League goal, and Michael Olise netted twice as Bayern Munich secured a dominant 4-0 victory over Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt. The Bundesliga giants began their European campaign with a resounding win, setting the tone for the league phase. Bayern's attacking trio of Vincent Kompany, Jamal Musiala, and Kane were particularly effective in dismantling Bodo/Glimt's defense.

Musiala, making his first start of the season, opened the scoring with a well-timed run following Kane's deflected shot. Kane then added his 55th goal, bringing his total to 55 in 71 Champions League appearances, making him one of the fastest players to achieve this milestone. The German side also made it their third goal in the competition, behind Real Madrid and Erling Haaland.

Olise, the Nigerian defender, proved his worth with two crucial goals, adding to his impressive tally of 34 European goals in just 39 games for Bayern. Bodo/Glimt, despite their valiant efforts, found the back of the net only once, with a powerful lob attempt from Andreas Helmersen that ended up on the crossbar. Olise sealed the win with a stunning header in the final minutes, after Odin Bjortuft was sent off for fouling Olise.

Bayern Munich's impressive start will undoubtedly set the standard for the rest of the group stage, as they aim to progress beyond the initial round.
