Bayern Munich make Champions League history
Now one win from equalling Man Utd unique record
Bayern Munich became the first team in Champions League history to score four goals in the last 15 minutes of a game after emphatically seeing off Salzburg 6-2.
Champions League holders Bayern made history thanks to goals from Jerome Boateng, Leroy Sane, Robert Lewandowski and Lucas Hernandez during the final 11 minutes on Tuesday.
Bayern bounced back from Mergim Berisha’s fourth-minute opener in Salzburg, where the German visitors fell behind for the first time in 11 Champions League matches.
Lewandowski’s 21st-minute penalty and Rasmus Kristensen’s own goal gave Hansi Flick’s Bayern a 2-1 lead on the stroke of half-time.
Austrian champions Salzburg restored parity via Masaya Okugawa in the 66th minute before Bayern finished strongly to maintain their 100 per cent start in Group A.
Bayern – who stretched their unbeaten away streak in the Champions League to 15 games, only Manchester United (16 between 2007 and 2010) having achieved a longer such run – top the group by five points, ahead of Atletico Madrid.
