Bayern Munich showcased their dominance once again in the UEFA Champions League, beating Sporting CP 3-1 at the Allianz Arena to extend their historic unbeaten home record in the group and league phase to 37 matches — a streak that dates all the way back to 2013.
The victory also marked a milestone for rising star Lennart Karl, who continued his sensational UCL run with yet another decisive moment on a landmark night for the German giants.
Sporting Shock Bayern Early
Sporting CP arrived in Munich knowing the scale of the challenge ahead, yet they struck the first blow. In the 54th minute, Sporting’s persistence paid off when Joshua Kimmich inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, giving the visitors a surprising 1-0 lead.
The goal stunned the Allianz Arena momentarily, but as history has shown, Bayern rarely panic on European nights — especially on home soil.
Bayern Respond Like Champions
It took Bayern just 11 minutes to find their equaliser. In the 65th minute, Serge Gnabry finished clinically inside the box after sustained Bayern pressure, levelling the score at 1-1.
From that moment onward, the Bavarians took full control of the match. Their relentless attacks and crisp passing pinned Sporting back, with the visitors forced deeper and deeper into their own half.
Lennart Karl Makes UCL History
Just four minutes after the equaliser, the Allianz Arena erupted again when Lennart Karl scored in the 69th minute to complete Bayern’s comeback.
The 17-year-old has now achieved an extraordinary milestone — three goals in his first three UEFA Champions League matches, becoming the youngest Bayern player ever to do so. His rise has been one of the standout stories of the competition this season.
Jonathan Tah Secures the Win
Sporting’s resistance faded as Bayern continued to dominate, and the hosts sealed the match in the 77th minute through Jonathan Tah, who headed home from a set piece to make it 3-1.
With the game settled, Bayern comfortably saw out the final minutes, collecting their 15th point from 6 matches and confirming their flawless group/league phase run.
A Night of Joy and Milestones
In addition to the goals and records, Bayern fans celebrated the emotional return of Alphonso Davies, who featured again after recovering from a serious ACL injury. His presence added to an already memorable evening in Munich.
