FT: Bayern 1-2 Inter

Inter have now conceded just 0.27 goals on average across their 11 Champions League games this season - the second-lowest in the competition's history in a single campaign (0.25 for Milan in 1993/94).#UCL pic.twitter.com/FmJ0F2hvX9

Bayern have kept pressing, including an attempt from Kane, but the Inter defence is working like a well-oiled machine!

The hosts just could not get past!

In: Nicola Zalewski

Out: Lautaro Martinez

Sensational stuff here in Allianz Arena!

A noteworthy display from Augusto on the left as he powered a sublime low cross from the left, and Frattesi had to just get a touch on it to rocket it home from inside the six-yard box.

Another substitute quickly finds the goal off the bench! However, he is shown the yellow for taking off his shirt to celebrate!

Inter take the lead again!

You just cannot write off THOMAS MULLER!

Brilliant play from Olise and Kimmich, as the latter sailed in a vicious cross, and Laimer received it on the left side of the box and whipped it back into the six-yard box. Muller was in the perfect position as he slotted it home with a calculated strike!

The Bavarians are back in business!

The Kimmich corner from the left bounced off the players inside the box, as the second ball was anticipated by Boey, who skied it way wide off the target.

An excellent play from Gnabry opened some space for Muller, but his strike was well-blocked by Bastoni, resulting in a corner.

Laimer placed it for Kane in the middle of the box, but Kane's attempted half-volley rolled just wide off the far post!

Distressing night for the Englishman so far.

In: Yann Aurel Bisseck

Out: Matteo Darmian

Serge Gnabry danced through the left side and unleashed a quick strike that only hit the side-netting.

Lautaro attempted to find the crack from a distance out of the box, but Urbig claimed it confidently.

In: Thomas Muller, Serge Gnabry, Sacha Boey

Out: Leroy Sane, Raphaël Guerreiro, Kim Min-Jae

In: Davide Frattesi 

Out: Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Kimmich's free-kick failed to gain the desired power, and Yann Sommer made a routine collection afterward.

Mkhitaryan clipped his toes with Kane's from behind to earn a yellow for the foul.

For the last four or five minutes, Bayern have consistently penetrated to break the deadlock. However, the Nerazzuri defence has been so resilient that the efforts could not go past the middle of the box. Marvellous work from Inzaghi!

Guerreiro anticipated the second ball that came off the tussle inside the box, but his quickly taken volley from just the edge of the box skied over the crossbar!

Laimer took his time on the right before lodging a vicious cross into the box, but Stanisic's header following that soared over the crossbar!

Guerrerio sailed a long ball into Inter's box, but Sommer jumped on time to make a high claim.

It has been 30 minutes since Bayern last attempted a shot.#UCL pic.twitter.com/AFR6TY5IHw

— Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) April 8, 2025

Lautaro took a strike from a very close range to the goal following the through pass from Thuram inside the brawl, but the 21-year-old Bayern custodian executed a brilliant stop in reflex!

Marcus Thuram rushed to the box from the left as he sliced a grounded pass to find Lautaro on the other side, but the ball sailed wide off the target and out of Lautaro's reach.

Lautaro Martinez sees the yellow for a foul on Olise from behind.

Martinez received an inch-perfect through into the box, but Goretzka made the rescuing tackle, denying the Inter skipper from having a goal attempt.

It has been a slow start to the second-half actions, as both sides are trying to buckle up before going all out to find the coveted goals for their respective sides. 

We are back underway at the Allianz Arena.

HT: Bayern 0-1 Inter

Inter have lost just one of their last 28 Champions League games when opening the scoring (W25 D2), a 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid in March 2024. 👀#UCL pic.twitter.com/tD7RnTT3Bk

7 - Lautaro #Martínez is the first #Inter player with seven UEFA #ChampionsLeague goals in a season since Samuel Eto'o in 2010-11 (8). Striker.#BayernMunichInter

— OptaPaolo (@OptaPaolo) April 8, 2025

Olise showed great effort in anticipating the crossfield long ball from the right, as he met it right before the ball was about to roll wide. However, a strong block from Darmian keeps the hosts at bay!

The clash has been very physical from both sides. The tally shows five fouls apiece at this point of the game.

Magnificent display from Inter!

Thuram received the ball in the middle as Augusto crossed it from the left. He nicked the ball behind for Lautaro to anticipate it, as the Inter skipper drilled a well-taken strike that soared past the keeper to find the back of the net!

The visitors have taken the lead!

Lautaro Martinez got a lot of space in front of him as he was approaching the penalty area with the ball but slipped on the ground unluckily, resulting in a good recovery from Min-Jae!

Bastoni gifted a brilliant forward pass for Augusto, who was sprinting into the box. However, Augusto's left-footed strike from the left whacked the side-netting!

Kima Min-Jae is shown the yellow for a nasty foul on Lautaro Martinez.

Sane lodged a long ball from the middle, that was well met by Olise on the right side of the box. The French attacker danced past the Inter defenders, laying a pass to Kane, who was in a completely open position on the left.

However, Kane's right-footed curler sailed past Sommer only to rattle the far post!

Laimer laided out the ball to Olise, who was free on the right and just outside off the box. He sliced another left-footed strike that was quickly denied by Sommer. The follow-up header by Kane went just wide of the target.

The Veteran keeper showed his sparks once again!

This time, Guerreiro sprinted into the box to anticipate a through ball from the middle, from which he drilled a powerful right-foot grounder, but Sommer acted quickly. The ball slipped, but he claimed it before a running Kane could get a hold of it.

Konrad Laimer stayed alert as Marcus Thuram sprinted into the box from the left, but his well-timed tackle dispossessed the Inter attacker off the ball. Eric Dier made a follow-up block to deny Lautaro as well.

Olise is looking to be operational from both sides, giving free space to other attackers to position themselves. However, this time, his shot from just outside the left side of the box went straight into Sommer's secure gloves.

That was a brilliant build-up from the hosts, as Olise found the ball on the right against the congested Inter box. He sailed a cross, which Kane met in the middle of the penalty area and powered a header, but Sommer made no mistake in collecting the ball.

Bayern Munich have maintained a high-line defence so far, trying to build up from both flanks.

Micheal Olise entered the penalty area from the right, found some space, and fired a low, left-footed strike that went just a bit wide off the far post.

Inter Milan are on their usual low-block, dragging the attackers down to them and creating space between the opposition midfield and forward line to utilize.

We are underway in Munich!

Luis Enrique can’t have wished for much more. A swashbuckling attacking display that included four goals and a well-deserved clean sheet.

After a league phase campaign fraught with jeopardy last time round, Paris start their quest for a second consecutive Champions League crown in the most consummate of ways.

As for Atalanta, they toiled and stuck to their task, but will now focus on picking up their first points against Club Brugge in two weeks time.

After something of a shaky start, Ajax managed to find their way back into the game. 

Ironically, they had the best chance of taking the lead – Yann Sommer saving expertly from Mika Godts – seconds before Marcus Thuram headed the visitors in front at the other end.

John Heitinga’s men will now have to commit more men forward in search of an equaliser, which could play into Inter’s hands.

Against Atletico Madrid, Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah have found the net for Liverpool within first 6 minutes of the match.

What a contest we have witnessed! Both teams gave everything, competing all the way. Slavia earned a two-goal advantage thanks to a pair of strikes from Youssoupha Mbodji on his full debut, but Bodø/Glimt displayed the character they so often showed during last season's run to the Europa League semi-finals thanks to substitutes Sondre Brunstad Fet and Daniel Bassi. A breathtaking evening, with both clubs showing why they play at this level.

A pair of penalties from Kylian Mbappé helped Real Madrid turn a deficit into victory in Xabi Alonso's first Champions League game at the helm. 

After withstanding early pressure from the hosts, Marseille struck first through Timothy Weah's emphatic finish, but Alonso's side were quickly level when Mbappé converted from the spot following a foul by Geoffrey Kondogbia on Rodrygo.

Although Madrid had Dani Carvajal sent off in the 72nd minute, Mbappé struck again with nine minutes left after Facundo Medina was penalised for handball.

Borussia Dortmund and Juventus shared the spoils after an eight-goal thriller in Turin that equalled the record for the highest-scoring Champions League draw.

Khéphren Thuram and Loïs Openda both went close for the hosts in the first half, before Karim Adeyemi’s 52nd-minute finish sparked the encounter into life.

Kenan Yıldız, Felix Nmecha and Dušan Vlahović all scored in a four-minute flurry before Yan Couto's powerful finish made it 3-2 to Dortmund.

The visitors looked to have sealed victory through Ramy Bensebaini's 85th-minute penalty, but Juventus rescued a draw in added time thanks to Dušan Vlahović's finish and a Lloyd Kelly header.

Qarabağ claim a historic win here in Lisbon – and few can argue with the result. Benfica were 2-0 up after 16 minutes, but after Leandro Andrade’s goal, the Azerbaijan champions grew in confidence and made the most of their momentum to level and ultimately win it in the closing stages. Welcome back, Champions League!

Substitutes Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard strike to give Arsenal a winning start in a tight contest in Bilbao, where Athletic Club performed admirably on their much-anticipated return to the competition. 

Arsenal have failed to score in Spain in the first half. 

Mikel Arteta's men looked good but not sharp enough. Meantime Athletic have done well to defend and attack on the chances they got. 

Important 45 minutes to come.

Anouar Ait El Hadj extends the lead for Union SG. The newcomers are on fire! 

Pepi fouled Burgess inside the box, and Union SG won the penalty. Promise David perfectly sent Matěj Ková the wrong way to hit the low corner of the goal.

The newcomers take the lead.

Well-deserved win and full points for Bayern Munich. 

They had more of the ball, made more attacks and scored more goals. Chelsea did have their moments, but lapsed in concentration in the defence. 

Harry Kane with a brace. He has now scored 10 goals in six games this season. For the 22nd campaign in a row, Bayern kick off the Champions League with a win.

 A VAR check was done on Palmer's second goal, and he was found offside.

He calmly finished it to beat Neuer.

Garnacho's right-footed attempt went straight to Neuer. Easy save.

Laimer gets the yellow card for a fould on Joao Pedro.

Olise fouls Cucurella and gets the yellow card. Looks like the German fans loved it.

Gnabry to Olise and then Olise to Diaz.

But Sanchez made the big save before the official flagged Diaz offside.

Enzo is replaced by Estevao.

He is back on the field as Chelsea looks to bring a change.

Chalobah is injured after falling down. Looks like a shoulder injury.

Olise should score from there. 

Kane, with a cutback from the byline, had found Olise with nearly an empty goal to aim at. 

But, he looked a bit casual with the finish there, and Sanchez, with a big dive, made the save.

Huge chance for Harry Kane. 

Laimer made a good run in the middle and then found Kane. 

Kane nearly went one-on-one against Sanchez, but could not beat him from a tight angle from left of the box.

Kimich with a cross pass found Kane, and Kane's toed-pass found Diax on the left. 

However, Diaz's right-footed shot went straight to the Chelsea goalkeeper.

Neuer, who is now the oldest Bayern Munich player to play in the Champions League, makes an easy save as Reece James' timid shot went straight to him. 

Although we thought he was fine, but after a run, he is limping. 

The leg took a big blow after the tussle with Gusto. 

Boey has replaced him and goes to right-back. Laimer moves over to the left.

The Bayern defender is fine and is up and running, 

Stanisic is down after a tussle. He is getting medical attention.

We are back from break.

Bayern replaced Tah with Kim.

Terrific first half. 

Chelsea started well, but Bayern kept their shape and made a comeback. 

An own goal and then Kane converted the penalty. But Palmer's strike made sure Chelsea stayed in the match. 

A huge 45 minutes to come. Stay tuned.

The last attack of the first half converts into a corner for Bayern as Cucurella deflects the cross from Olise.

2 mins added. 

Sanchez punched away the corner from Kimmich but it fell rightly for Olise to go for a left-footed volley. 

It missed the target though.

Olise again is able to play a crucial pass inside the box. 

This time, he found Kane. But, Kane's attempt was blocked and deflected for a corner.

Awful defence from Chelsea. 

Olise found Laimer easily with a through ball right. 

However, Laimer's shot went wide by a few inches.

Despite only being in his third full season, Cole Palmer has already scored against:

Yellow card for Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca for dissent. 

GAME ON!

Cole Palmer scores a stunner to bring the score down. 

Reece James won the ball back for Caicedo found Palmer with a great pass. 

Palmer carried on and found the net with a left footed strike from the edge of the box.

Bayern 2-1 Chelsea.

Harry Kane calmly sends Sanchez to the wrong side and hits the back of the net with a low penalty.

Bayern 2-0 Chelsea.

He did not give it initially and looks like it is a penalty for FC Bayern Munich.

Kane was brought down by Caicedo and it is a penalty.
