Arena 3-1 thanks to goals by Kingsley Coman (11’), Harry Kane (16’), and Leon Goretzka (59’), with Anthony Caci scoring the lone goal for the home team. But the real story wasn’t on the field but rather on the bench.

With several players out injured after the international break, Bayern Munich was able to have just seven players on the bench. Those seven players included goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, eternal reserve player Bouna Sarr, as well as youth players Aleksandar Pavlovic and Frans Krätzig.
