Champions League results suggestive of Bayern dominance 

Joshua Kimmich did much of the effort leading to the opener in the 28th minute. The defender won the possession from Joao Felix in the middle of the park before pinning an inch-perfect cross towards Coman. The forward then drifted behind Kieran Trippier before slotting it past Jan Oblak. 

Coman was again at his best as he assisted the second goal for Hansi Flick's side. Leon Goretzka received a low ball across the box from Coman, who displayed a brilliant touch before rifling the ball past the goal line, beating Oblak. Atletico Madrid stood hapless in the game in the first half.

Bayern vs Atletico: Tolisso goal drowns opponents 

Although Joao Felix struck one goal back for Atletico Madrid, it was disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). But Bayern had to respond and they did in a sensational way. Tolisso blasted the ball from outside the box, directing it into the top right corner, with Oblak's effort to save it turning sour. The stunner takes the Tolisso goals tally to two this season.

Although Bayern were leading by three goals already, the Allianz Arena outfit did not lose their grip in the game. Coman went on to bag his second goal of the night, scoring a sensational solo goal, beating Felipe Augusto on the way. Simeone's men could not survive the Bavarian wave, despite the presence of Luis Suarez in the ranks.
