Lennart Karl and Konrad Laimer sink Atlético for Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich left Atlético Madrid with a 2-0 win in the Champions League league phase on Tuesday 3 November 2026, and both goals came after the break. Lennart Karl struck in the 54th minute and Konrad Laimer added the second in the 74th. Here is what the numbers make of it.

How the goals arrived

The opener came from a mistake. Robin Le Normand made an error at the back, and Karl, 18, pounced to score his first Champions League goal of the season.

Laimer's goal on 74 minutes doubled the lead. There could even have been a third: on 80 minutes, a Dayot Upamecano header beat Oblak, but the referee ruled it out after a VAR review for a foul by Upamecano.

What it changes in the table

After the game, Bayern Munich sit 8th on 8 points from 4 matches, with a goal difference of 7. Directly above them is Betis in 7th on 9 points, though Betis have played 3. Arsenal are just below in 9th on 7 points, also from 3 games.

Further down, Atl. Madrid are 22nd with 4 points from 4 matches and a goal difference of -1. They are level on points with PSV in 21st and Bodo/Glimt in 23rd, so the picture at that end of the table is tightly packed.

The form guide

Bayern's recent run reads W D W W D. Before this win they drew 2-2 with Dortmund, beat Magdeburg 6-1, won 3-1 at Freiburg and drew 2-2 with Arsenal.

There is no defeat anywhere in that sequence. Nito thinks the draws against Dortmund and Arsenal are a useful reminder that the run is strong rather than flawless, which is worth keeping in mind before reading too much into one result. More on the club lives on our Bayern Munich team page.
