Inter Milan 1-2 Bayern Munich

A tough test for my first game in charge of the Bavarian giants. Not many teams will take maximum points from John at home this season. We edged the stats, and can thank a stellar performance from Wharton (2 assists) that led us to a solid away victory. Goals from Gnoto and Lukeba were enough to see us over the line.

All the best John, good game!

Bayern Munich 1-0 Sporting Lisbon

Harris' debut at home for his new side, the fans packed out the stadium to take on Sporting Lisbon who are quietly going about their business, having defeated the world's best team, PSG in round one, Munich knew they were in for a tough game. Xavi Simons scored the opener by crossing to himself and finishing it delightfully with a diving header. You had to be there to see it! It was 1-0 at half time, and we continued edging the stats but unfortunately couldn't get a second. However, we settle for 1-0 and a great three points.

Managing minute expectations across our backline and back up youth forward will be huge challenges this season so knowing when to use these players will become crucial.

Good game Jason, all the best.

Roma 2-3 Bayern Munich

A tough ask away to Roma, no matter the manager, their squad is still very talented and slightly stronger than ours. It was a real back and forth with the German side continuing their strong start to the season thanks to goals by: Simons, Gnonto and Sesko.

A brave move to leave new record signing Nico Paz on the bench but he came on and contributed well. We try to give fringe players a few minutes which is going to be a challenge.

Good game Hamza all the best for the season.

Bayern Munich 3-2 Celtic

We scraped the three points in this one. Which keeps us undefeated and somehow top. Granted we've only played two top 10 sides, so we know there is a very long way to go as we are still yet to play the real big boys.

We went behind before Simons pulled one back, and then we grabbed two more through Sesko and then Wharton, but Celtic kept coming and got one goal back and made us sweat to the finish line.
We continue to give some minutes to fringe players,

Good game Celtic (caretaker?).

Bayern Munich 1-1 Rangers

A dominate display by the German giants. 25 shots to 4, did everything right except win! Rangers goalkeeper turned into fat bastard as he took up the whole goal stopping pretty much everything we threw at him (perhaps we need to throw chicken to distract him next time).

Rangers will be laughing and counting their lucky stars that they got away with a point here. 2 points dropped for us. We sit top after 5 games but are yet to play any of the giants of the game (Both madrids, Juventus, PSG or AC Milan).

Good game Rangers.

Arsenal 2-0 Bayern Munich

A close game despite the 2 goal score line. Set up for TA as we thought they'd be too strong otherwise. They were too strong anyway! It will be interesting to try find a good formation and tactical balance for when we play stronger sides than us (everyone in the CL and about 8 sides in the league). Positive news we managed to get a defender's passing to 19. Europe is going to be super tough, and this group is insane.

Good game Darren, all the best.

Bayern Munich 3-0 Marseille

A solid home win against a Marseille side who have started this campaign wonderfully. We were however quite dominate from fairly early on. Diomande scoring his first of the season - rumours are circling that he could be up for sale but this great performance may have just changed things there. A second half brace from star striker Sesko made things out of reach for the French side, and keeping a clean sheet was massive for us in this game - and a rare thing.

Good game mate, all the best for the season.

Manchester United 0 - 2 Bayern Munich

As Steve said, we did get quite lucky in this one. Fortunate to strike early, and somehow bagged a second before a few restructures to hold the lead after a disappointing round one defeat. This win gives us hope of qualifying but we need to get something against the mighty Real Madrid next, which will be another incredibly tough ask. Young gun Paz scored his first goal for the club and what a way to do it away at Old Trafford! Gnonto scored which was great as he is having far too many shots for goals scored but now has 3 goals for the campaign.

Good game Steve!
