Bayern Munich went to Madrid and beat Atletico 2-0, keeping their unbeaten start to this season's Champions League campaign intact.
Bayern Munich showed their European pedigree once again, going to Atletico Madrid and leaving with a 2-0 victory that extends their unbeaten start to the Champions League season.
Atletico are famously tough to beat at home, especially in Europe, where they usually make life miserable for visiting sides. Bayern handled the occasion with maturity and never let the contest slip out of their control.
The result adds to the momentum the Bavarians are building in the competition. Every unbeaten match strengthens their position in the table and moves them closer to the knockout rounds, which is exactly where a club with their ambitions wants to be.
For Atletico, it is a setback on their own turf. They will need to regroup quickly and find solutions if they want to stay in the hunt as the group stage heats up.
Bayern, meanwhile, look every bit like contenders. A clean, controlled away win like this sends a message to the rest of the field.
