Bayern Munich underlined their credentials as one of the Champions League favourites with a 5-0 thrashing of Bodo\/Glimt at the Allianz Arena.<\/p>\n
The Norwegians \u2013 who impressed on their Champions League main draw debut last season, beating Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and then Inter Milan to reach the last 16 \u2013 looked to possibly be on course for another memorable European night following a goalless first half at the Allianz Arena.<\/p>\n
Jamal Musiala \u2013 on his first start since a change in medication for a neurological condition saw him collapse twice during Bayern’s pre-season friendlies \u2013 then broke the deadlock two minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n
England captain Harry Kane headed in from a free-kick for his 55th Champions League goal.<\/p>\n
Alphonso Davies fired in a third and Michael Olise scored either side of Bodo\/Glimt seeing Odin Bjortuft sent off late on.<\/p>\n
Fenerbahce manager Ismail Kartal announced his shock resignation following the 1-1 draw against Roma in Istanbul, but club president Aziz Yildirim later stated the coach was still in his position.<\/p>\n
“I stepped down from my duties this evening,” Kartal \u2013 who also had a bottle thrown at him during the match \u2013 said during his post-match press conference.<\/p>\n
“I made this decision to clear the way for my club. I will never come back.”<\/p>\n
Como marked their debut in the Champions League with a 4-1 win over RB Leipzig at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.<\/p>\n
Lens scored twice in stoppage time through Florian Thauvin and then Ruben Aguilar to come from behind and beat 10-man Slavia Prague 3-2.<\/p>\n
The Czech side had seen Mikulas Konecny, on as a second-half substitute, sent off in the 48th minute for a foul on Abdallah Sima, who had been clear on goal.<\/p>\n
