Carlo Ancelotti’s first Champions League campaign as Bayern Munich boss got off to the ideal start as his side ran out comfortable 5-0 winners against Rostov.
Bayern, who will also face Atletico Madrid and PSV Eindhoven in Group D, controlled proceedings throughout in Munich, though relied on a somewhat controversial penalty call from referee Anthony Taylor midway through the first-half in order to take the lead – Robert Lewandowski drilling home.
And, after birthday boy Thomas Muller had doubled Bayern’s tally in first-half stoppage time, the hosts ran riot after the interval, Joshua Kimmich netting twice in the space of seven minutes to end the match as a contest before substitute Juan Bernat added a fifth in the last minute.
The victory gives Bayern a 13th consecutive Champions League win at the Allianz Arena as Ancelotti’s men ensured that Rostov’s first appearance in the group stages of a European tournament ended in a comprehensive defeat.
Despite dominating possession, Bayern only created one chance in the early stages when Kimmich, who netted his maiden Bundesliga goal in the 2-0 victory over Schalke last time out, picked out Lewandowski with a precise cross – the striker proceeding to head over from close-range.
However, Rostov were breached after 28 minutes, with referee Taylor rather harshly deeming that Lewandowski had been tugged down in the area by away captain Aleksandru Gatcan.

What a surprising match and what amazing article. It wasn't expected for Rostov to win the match played in UEFA Champions League last Wednesday, against Bayern München. Christian Fernando Noboa Tello's goal came as a nice surprise. It is good to see Rostov scoring a victory in this match and adding 3 more points for their group rankings. I am sure Ancelotti will have to review the team's offensive and defensive strategy for the next match against Atlético Madrid. I am sure that i will make a bet next time. Where can i find a list of list of spanish online sports betting websites?
