Bayern Munich kicked off their UEFA Champions League campaign with a resounding 4-0 victory over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. Kingsley Coman, Leon Goretzka, and Corentin Tolisso were on target for the German champions, who thoroughly outplayed their Spanish opponents.

Coman opened the scoring in the 28th minute, pouncing on a loose ball in the penalty area to slot home. Goretzka doubled Bayern's lead just before halftime with a powerful header from a Joshua Kimmich cross.

Tolisso put the game to bed in the 66th minute with a superb long-range strike, leaving Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak with no chance. The visitors were reduced to 10 men late in the match when Felipe was sent off for a second yellow card, and Bayern took full advantage.
