Bayern Munich (Germany) won a landslide victory in its first match of the UEFA Champions League this season, led by Harry Kane’s four goals.

Munich won 9-2 at home against Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) in the first leg of the 2024-2025 Champions League phase held on the 18th.

Munich, which opened the scoring with Kane’s penalty kick goal in the 19th minute of the first half, finished the first half leading 3-0 and then scored six goals in the second half alone to secure a huge victory for the team. Munich announced on their official website, “Munich has participated in the Champions League 21 times and has won the first game in every competition, but this record is incomparable to any other record,” and “This is the first time in Champions League history that nine goals have been scored in a single game.”

Kane, who scored the team’s first goal with a penalty kick in the 19th minute of the first half, scored three goals with penalty kicks alone on this day. Kane is the first player to score three goals with penalty kicks alone in a European competition. Kane, who had scored a hat trick in the previous match against Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga, also recorded a hat trick in two consecutive matches today.

“When players are motivated, everything becomes easier, and Kane is very motivated at the moment,” said Bayern manager Vincent Kompany. “It was a different feeling because it was the first time I had won three penalties in a game, but the fact that I scored four goals was fantastic.”

Kim Min-jae started on this day and played on the field for 68 minutes. Until he was replaced by Eric Dier in the 23rd minute of the second half, Kim Min-jae had a pass success rate of 96%. However, according to SofaScore, Kim Min-jae received the lowest rating of 6.2 on the team.

Kylian Mbappe, who transferred to Real Madrid (Real, Spain) this season, also tasted his first Champions League goal while wearing a Real uniform. Mbappe started in the home match against Stuttgart (Germany) and scored the team’s first goal 27 seconds into the second half. Mbappe, who scored in two consecutive matches in the Spanish La Liga, scored his third consecutive goal since transferring to Real and his first in the Champions League on this day. Mbappe said, “It was a great night,” and “I’ve scored in three consecutive matches, but I can do more. My condition is getting better every match.”

Just before the end of the match, Endric, born in 2006, scored a left-footed goal in a counterattack. At 18 years and 58 days old, Endric became the youngest player to score a goal in the Champions League while wearing a Real jersey. The previous record was 18 years and 113 days by Raul. Endric said, “I am satisfied with my debut and my first goal in the Champions League.” The team won 3-1.

As the number of teams participating in the Champions League increased to 36 this season, the group stage was changed to a ‘league phase’ format with 8 matches, 4 matches each at home and away.
