The breakthrough arrived after the interval when a defensive error by Robin Le Normand allowed Lennart Karl to capitalize and score the opening goal. Despite a brief surge in energy from the hosts following a triple substitution, Bayern’s intensity proved insurmountable.

Konrad Laimer, who was the standout performer throughout the night, cemented the result with a powerful strike late in the game. Assisted by Harry Kane, Laimer’s goal ensured the German side left Madrid with all three points, sending a clear signal to the rest of the competition.
