Bayern Munich's quest for a first Champions League title in seven years got off to the perfect start with a dominant victory and performance against Red Star Belgrade.
The Bundesliga champions were in control throughout - Kingsley Coman opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a well-directed header, and Phillipe Coutinho had a deft flick into the corner disallowed for a correct offside call.
Bayern were similarly controlling in the second period, and wrapped up three points with Robert Lewandowski's poked finish diminishing all hope of an unlikely and undeserved Red Star equaliser late on.
Thomas Muller's volley from a well-planned free-kick routine in stoppage time gave the scoreline a more representative flavour of Bayern's authoritative display at the Allianz Arena.
