Champions League: Bayern Rout Bodo/Glimt

England captain Harry Kane scored his 55th Champions League goal and Michael Olise struck twice as Bayern Munich began their campaign by comfortably beating Bodo/Glimt.

Vincent Kompany's side will be looking to improve on last season, when they reached the semi-finals.

They made the ideal start to the league phase with this victory against Norwegians Bodo/Glimt, who put up stubborn resistance in the first half but were then overwhelmed.

Jamal Musiala - making his first start of the season after collapsing twice in a four-day period in August due to a neurological dysfunction - struck early in the second period when Kane's shot deflected kindly for him.

It may have given Bayern the lead but the goal meant even more to Musiala given his struggles, with the German saying after the match: "The feeling I had today is a feeling I haven't had for a while."
