Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman picked up where he left off last season with two goals in a 4-0 home rout of Atletico Madrid on Wednesday as the holders got the defence of their Champions League campaign off to a winning start. Coman, whose header settled last season's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain just 59 days ago in Lisbon, scored Bayern's opening goal, created their second and claimed their fourth behind closed doors at the Allianz Arena. "We played very well, I am very happy with my two goals," Coman told Sky Sports.

"The winning goal in last season's final is a good motivator, but it's in the past now and we have fresh goals this season." Coman saved his best for last with a superb effort, turning the Atletico defence inside out before firing home on 72 minutes. Goals by midfielders Leon Goretzka and Corentin Tolisso, who produced an unstoppable long-range strike from outside the box, added to Atletico's misery in Munich. The defeat was the joint heaviest Atletico has suffered under Diego Simeone, rivalling the 4-0 drubbing dished out at Dortmund almost exactly two years ago.
