Bayern Munich began their 2026–27 champions League group-stage campaign with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Norway’s Bodø/Glimt at the Allianz Arena, while Serie A newcomers Como 1907 recorded a surprise 4-1 win against RB Leipzig in Italy.
- Bayern beat Bodø/Glimt 5-0 with goals from Musiala, Kane, Davies and a late Olise double.
- Como 1907 stunned RB Leipzig 4-1 in their Champions League debut, with four different goalscorers across the match.
- Sources report Bayern extended a long unbeaten home group-stage record and Musiala’s goal was noted as Bayern's 900th in European competition.
What happened: the facts
At the Allianz Arena Bayern were held scoreless in the first half but broke the deadlock immediately after the interval when Jamal Musiala scored in the 47th minute. Harry Kane headed in a second on 61 minutes, Alphonso Davies added a third in the 77th minute, and Michael Olise completed a late double to make it 5-0. Bodø/Glimt had a player sent off late in the game.
At the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como — playing their first Champions League match after reaching the competition in recent seasons — took control early. Martin Baturina, Tasos Douvikas and Assane Diao scored to give Como a 3-0 lead, Andrija Maksimović pulled one back for Leipzig before Máximo Perrone sealed a 4-1 win late on.
Context: why these results matter
Bayern’s win is significant for several reasons. It extended the club’s long unbeaten run in Champions League group-stage home matches to a record number (reported as 39 consecutive group-stage home games without defeat) and represented a dominant start to their campaign. Jamal Musiala’s 47th-minute goal was also reported as the club’s 900th goal in European competition.
For Como, the victory is a statement on the competition debut of a club that rose from Italy’s lower leagues in recent years. Defeating an established Bundesliga side like Leipzig underlines Como’s rapid progress and will boost their profile and confidence in Group-stage fixtures.
Performance and key players
- Jamal Musiala: Scored the opener for Bayern two minutes into the second half after a goalless first half.
- Harry Kane: Headed Bayern’s second and continued his strong Champions League scoring record for the club.
- Alphonso Davies and Michael Olise: Both contributed to Bayern’s late dominance, with Olise scoring twice in the closing stages.
- Como’s trio of scorers — Martin Baturina, Tasos Douvikas and Assane Diao — helped establish an early two-goal cushion and a second-half lead that Leipzig could not overturn.
Impact on the groups and next steps
These match-day one results give Bayern an ideal start in their group and hand Como valuable early points in what will likely be a competitive section. Conversely, RB Leipzig will need to respond quickly after a damaging opening defeat; the loss continues a difficult run for Leipzig domestically and in Europe.
All sides now head back to domestic duties before returning to the Champions League schedule. The result sets early benchmarks but the group stage still contains multiple matchdays where standings can change rapidly.
