Bayern Munich opened their 2026\/27 UEFA Champions League campaign ruthlessly, sweeping aside Bod\u00f8\/Glimt 5-0 to extend their remarkable run of winning UCL opening matches to 24 consecutive seasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The six-time European champions were frustrated during the first half at the Allianz Arena. Still, a devastating second-half performance saw Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies and Michael Olise tear apart the Norwegian visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For football fans in Kenya following this season’s Champions League, Bayern’s performance sent an early warning to Europe’s other title contenders: Vincent Kompany’s men are firmly targeting a seventh European crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bayern Frustrated in Goalless First Half<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bayern entered the contest looking to respond after being held scoreless by Schalke in their previous outing, their first blank since July 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They immediately took control. Luis D\u00edaz forced an excellent save from Bod\u00f8\/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Khaikin after just five minutes, before Harry Kane tested the Russian with a curling attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua Kimmich came even closer when his long-range strike crashed against the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bod\u00f8\/Glimt largely defended deep and relied on counter-attacking opportunities. Their biggest opening actually came through a Bayern mistake, as Dayot Upamecano’s misplaced backpass rolled narrowly past Manuel Neuer’s goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khaikin continued frustrating Bayern with saves from Jamal Musiala and Kimmich, ensuring the visitors remarkably reached half-time at 0-0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musiala Finally Breaks Bod\u00f8 Resistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bod\u00f8\/Glimt suffered a major setback when Julian Faye Lund replaced the injured Khaikin at the interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 77 seconds into the second half<\/strong>, Bayern finally struck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kane’s blocked effort dropped invitingly to Musiala, who fired across Lund to give the Bundesliga giants the breakthrough their dominance deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Norwegian defense finally breached, Bayern quickly became increasingly dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry Kane Opens His Champions League Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kane had narrowly failed to convert Konrad Laimer’s dangerous delivery, but the England striker did not have to wait much longer for his first European goal of the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Olise delivered an excellent free-kick into the penalty area, where Kane rose to power a header beyond Lund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was classic Kane: intelligent movement, excellent positioning and a clinical finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bod\u00f8\/Glimt nearly produced an extraordinary response when Andreas Helmersen dispossessed Kimmich and spotted Neuer away from his goal. His ambitious 45-yard attempt, however, sailed narrowly over the crossbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That proved to be one of the visitors’ final opportunities to threaten Bayern’s dominance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davies Rocket Opens the Floodgates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With 13 minutes remaining, Alphonso Davies effectively ended the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partially cleared Bayern corner fell to the Canadian outside the penalty area, and he unleashed a thunderous 20-yard strike through the crowd and into the net for 3-0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, Bayern turned a comfortable victory into a statement result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Olise Shines With Late Double<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Olise capped an impressive individual performance by curling a superb left-footed strike into the top corner for Bayern’s fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things went from bad to worse for Bod\u00f8\/Glimt when Odin Bj\u00f8rtuft was sent off after bringing down Olise just outside the penalty area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French winger took full advantage of the visitors’ weakened defense in stoppage time, bursting through before calmly firing home his second goal and completing the 5-0 rout<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bayern Send Champions League Warning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Full-time: Bayern Munich 5-0 Bod\u00f8\/Glimt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final scoreline reflected Bayern’s superiority, particularly after the break. Musiala provided the breakthrough, Kane delivered another trademark goal, Davies produced arguably the strike of the night, while Olise finished with two goals and an assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly for Kompany, Bayern remain unbeaten in all competitions this season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their incredible Champions League opening-day record also continues, with the Bavarians now winning their first match of the competition in 24 consecutive seasons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Bod\u00f8\/Glimt, the defeat highlighted the enormous challenge of competing against Europe’s elite away from home. It was only the second time in their last 13 European matches that the Norwegian club failed to score at least twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the Result Means<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bayern could hardly have asked for a stronger beginning to their pursuit of European glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 5-0 victory, five second-half goals and another convincing attacking display underline the depth available to Kompany. Kane remains the focal point, but the threat provided by Musiala, Olise and Davies makes Bayern particularly difficult to contain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be tougher Champions League tests ahead, but this was exactly the type of commanding performance expected from a club hunting its seventh European crown<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
