A weekend of excitement across Europe’s top leagues saw angry Roma fans refusing to enter the stadium, while Bayern Munich players celebrated a 5-0 thrashing at Oktoberfest.
In Italy, AC Milan broke a six-game losing streak in the Derby della Madonnina with a victory over Inter. Elsewhere, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Marseille all secured wins.
Bayern Munich’s Dominance and Oktoberfest Celebration
Bayern Munich continued their perfect start in the Bundesliga with a commanding 5-0 win over Werder Bremen. Harry Kane made history by becoming the top-scoring English player in Bundesliga history, surpassing Jadon Sancho with his 41st goal.
However, it was Michael Olise who stole the show, scoring twice and delivering a standout performance. Olise, who joined Bayern from Crystal Palace for £50m, now has five goals in his last three games. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany praised Olise’s impact, noting, “Michael did very well. He’s a special talent. It’s a luxury to have so many good players at Bayern.”
Under Kompany, Bayern have set a new club record with 29 goals in the first six matches, leading to a celebration at Oktoberfest where Kane, Olise, and Musiala donned lederhosen to join in the festivities.
Leverkusen’s Dramatic Victory
Bayer Leverkusen kept the pressure on Bayern Munich with a thrilling 4-3 win over Wolfsburg. Victor Boniface scored a last-minute winner, but Granit Xhaka issued a warning ahead of their clash with Bayern next week, stating, “We can’t defend so naively. Sure, we scored four, but we can’t do that every weekend.”
