Bayern Munich made a statement in their opening Champions League group stage match, sweeping aside Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt in a commanding performance. The night belonged to Michael Olise, who scored twice, and Harry Kane, who added his 55th goal in the competition to underline his status as one of Europe’s most prolific strikers.
⚡ Olise’s Breakout Night
Signed from Crystal Palace earlier this summer, Olise has quickly settled into life at Bayern. His brace against Bodo/Glimt showcased his creativity and finishing ability, reminding fans why the club invested heavily in his talent.
Olise’s first goal came from a sharp run into the box, finishing calmly past the goalkeeper. His second was a curling effort from the edge of the area, highlighting his technical quality.
🏟️ Kane Keeps Scoring
Harry Kane, wearing the captain’s armband for England and leading Bayern’s attack, continued his remarkable Champions League record. His strike — a clinical finish after a sweeping Bayern move — took him to 55 goals in the competition, placing him among the elite scorers in European football history.
Kane’s consistency provides Bayern with a reliable focal point, and his partnership with Olise already looks promising.
