Como Enjoy Dream Champions League Debut, Big Wins for Man Utd and Bayern Munich

Cesc Fàbregas’s side scored three first-half goals and held RB Leipzig to one late reply in a first Champions League home win.

  • Bayern Munich opened their Champions League campaign with a 5-0 thrashing of Norway's Bodo/Glimt on Thursday, while Italian club Como secured a 4-1 victory over Leipzig in their tournament debut.
  • Como's first-ever qualification required urgent upgrades to their lakeside Stadio Sinigaglia to meet UEFA guidelines; failure would have forced manager Cesc Fabregas's side to play home games 200km away at Sassuolo.
  • At Old Trafford, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick oversaw a 4-0 victory against Azerbaijan newcomers Sabah, with Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Sesko, and Lisandro Martinez scoring in the dominant display.
  • Ten-Man Slavia Prague suffered heartbreak at home to Lens, conceding twice in stoppage time to lose 3-2 after Mikulas Konecny was sent off via VAR review just after halftime.
  • Fenerbahce marked their return to the competition with a 1-1 draw against Roma, while PSV Eindhoven salvaged a 1-1 draw at home to Shakhtar Donetsk as Sergino Dest's equalizer ensured they began with a point.

Douvikas puts the ball in the center, Baku loses the b…
