🔥 Simply regal: Bayern extend their own record further | OneFootball

FC Bayern kicked off the new Champions League season with a 3:1 victory over Club World Cup winners Chelsea. Not only did the Munich team secure their first three points, but they also continued an impressive streak.

This is already the 22nd season in a row in which FCB has started the Champions League with a win. You can hardly be more consistent.

By the way, the last defeat at the start of a CL season dates back to the 2002/03 season, when they lost 2:3 to Deportivo La Coruna on the first match day at the Munich Olympic Stadium and ultimately also failed in the group stage. The hat-trick scorer for Deportivo that day was a certain Roy Makaay, whom Bayern signed just a year later.

For comparison: Bayern's starting lineup included players like Oliver Kahn, Jens Jeremies, Michael Ballack, Zé Roberto, and Willy Sagnol. Hasan Salihamidzic and Giovane Elber couldn't prevent this defeat with their goals. It's simply crazy how long ago that was!
