MADRID: Bayern Munich overcame a horror list of absences to cruise to a 2-0 win away at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
MADRID: Bayern Munich triumphed 2-0 away at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, despite a significant injury crisis. Freshly minted Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane and captain Joshua Kimmich led the resilient German champions to a convincing victory. The team lacked key players, with Jamal Musiala, Luis Diaz, Serge Gnabry, Ismael Saibari, and even coach Vincent Kompany missing out due to illness.
Lennart Karl scored the opening goal, and Konrad Laimer added a second, showcasing the potential of their undermanned squad. Kane missed out on scoring a hat-trick to equal Cristiano Ronaldo's record for 11 straight Champions League goals. Atletico finished Tuesday night at the bottom of the 36-team table, while Bayern climbed to eighth place with two wins and two draws.
