Guardiola Euro Bow Passed Serenely
The defending Champions League champions Bayern Munich began the defence of their came in comfortable and emphatic fashion, as the German champions comfortably overcame CSKA Moscow by three goals to nil at the Allianz Arena.
Having made an ordinary, albeit unbeaten, start to the season, this was a relief for Bayern’s new coach Pep Guardiola. The former coach of Barcelona has possibly the most pressurised position in the world of football, trying to replace the tremendously popular Jupp Heynckes, who delivered Bayern the Champions League crown just last season, walloping Barca 7-0 into the bargain.
This season promises to produce one of the most fascinating races to the Champions League crown of all-time, with Barca dangerous as always and with Neymar in their ranks, Real already looking in superb European form, and a strong challenge from England in particular. Guardiola has a lot to do to retain the title, but so far so good.
