Bayern Munich continued its tradition of emerging victorious in its opening Champions League game by defeating Inter Milan 2-0 at San Siro and it could have been more straightforward win if Nerazzurri goalkeeper André Onana had not been there. Leroy Sané shot Bayern's first goal in the 25th minute and also played a crucial role in the second goal, which Inter defender Danilo D’Ambrosio struck into his own net in 66 minutes. This victory marks the 19th consecutive time when the German team has won its opening match in the Champions League and the 17th time it has done so without giving up a goal.
“Leroy helped us score two goals, the first on a great ball from Kimmich but that was difficult to control," Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann commented. “On the second he showed how he can move things quickly, he did really well. We could have sealed the result earlier even, but I am happy.”
