Manchester United thrash Sabah in Champions League return as Fabregas's Como shine on European debut

Manchester United and Bayern Munich both enjoyed comfortable victories in their Champions League debut, while Como made a triumphant start to their European campaign. Cesc Fabregas and co impressed as the Red Devils demolished Sabah 4-0 at Old Trafford. Harry Kane and Michael Olise, each scoring twice, were instrumental in Bayern's 5-0 win against Bodo/Glimt, with Matheus Cunha also finding the net for the Germans.

Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Sesko, and Lisandro Martinez were also on the scoresheet for United, who celebrated a perfect night that motivated them for upcoming games. A moment of concern arose when Cunha gave United an early lead, but United's defensive weaknesses were ultimately their downfall. Similarly, Como dominated RB Leipzig 4-1, with Kane scoring a hat-trick and leading his side to a dream start in northern Italy.

Kane's eighth goal in Champions League play was particularly significant, as he netted a header from Olise's free-kick. Musiala, recovering from a neurological condition, scored his first goal of the season and expressed joy at finally playing well again. Olise netted another goal shortly after Musiala's, before Bjortuft was sent off for Bodo/Glimt.

Elsewhere, Lens secured a 3-2 victory over Slavia Prague in dramatic fashion, with Lens coming from behind to snatch the win with injury time. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce's coach Ismail Kartal resigned following an incident where a bottle was thrown at him during a 1-1 draw against Roma.
