Bayern Munich underlined their credentials as one of the Champions League favourites with a 5-0 thrashing of Bodo/Glimt at the Allianz Arena.
The Norwegians – who impressed on their Champions League main draw debut last season, beating Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and then Inter Milan to reach the last 16 – looked to possibly be on course for another memorable European night following a goalless first half at the Allianz Arena.
Jamal Musiala – on his first start since a change in medication for a neurological condition saw him collapse twice during Bayern’s pre-season friendlies – then broke the deadlock two minutes into the second half.
England captain Harry Kane headed in from a free-kick for his 55th Champions League goal.
Alphonso Davies fired in a third and Michael Olise scored either side of Bodo/Glimt seeing Odin Bjortuft sent off late on.
Fenerbahce manager Ismail Kartal announced his shock resignation following the 1-1 draw against Roma in Istanbul, but club president Aziz Yildirim later stated the coach was still in his position.
“I stepped down from my duties this evening,” Kartal – who also had a bottle thrown at him during the match – said during his post-match press conference. “I made this decision to clear the way for my club. I will never come back.”
Como marked their debut in the Champions League with a 4-1 win over RB Leipzig at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
Lens scored twice in stoppage time through Florian Thauvin and then Ruben Aguilar to come from behind and beat 10-man Slavia Prague 3-2.
The Czech side had seen Mikulas Konecny, on as a second-half substitute, sent off in the 48th minute for a foul on Abdallah Sima, who had been clear on goal.
Elsewhere, PSV Eindhoven and Shakhtar Donetsk drew 1-1 at the Philips Stadion.
