In the end the success was more obvious than the game. For 40 minutes, the Londoners were clearly the better team and gave the hosts little opportunity to develop. It was only with the equalizer that the Munich team found their game, didn't allow themselves to be disturbed by the second goal and achieved a deserved victory.
Thanks to their success, the Munich team continued their previous flawless streak in competitive games: Bayern had previously won all seven games in the championship, the DFB Cup and the Supercup. For the Bundesliga table leaders and defending champions, the top game against long-term rivals VfL Wolfsburg is on Saturday (5.45 p.m./MagentaSport).
Four days later, the second group game in the European premier class follows at Juventus Turin. Coach Alexander Straus said this week that winning the Champions League must be the goal this year or the next. “I think we’re getting closer,” said the Norwegian. “I think we will win at some point. I am 100 percent convinced of that.”
