Bayern claim historic 2-0 win at Atlético Madrid as Lennart Karl and Konrad Laimer make the difference
Story updated
The story in brief
7-second readAfter two consecutive draws, Bayern Munich returned to winning ways in the Champions League with a narrow but deserved 2-0 victory over Atlético Madrid
From the source
There was an interesting statistic ahead of the encounter at the Metropolitano: Bayern had failed to win any of their three previous away matches in Madrid against Atlético, a streak that was finally broken.
In 2016, Der Rekordmeister suffered two separate 1-0 defeats against the Spanish side, and the most recent meeting at the stadium ended in a 1-1 draw in 2020.
There was no clear favorite heading into Tuesday's encounter, with both Atlético and Bayern enjoying strong domestic campaigns. The Bavarians were still unbeaten in all competitions, while Atlético sat just two points behind Barcelona after eleven league matches.
