After their Champions League opener, Bayern Munich received some good news – and some even better news.The former is that they kicked off the new UCL campaign with a thumping 5-0 win over Bodo/Glimt.

The excellent news is that the man who awakened it is none other than Jamal Musiala, who hinted at a return to his old self. After clocking 33 minutes in his comeback game against Schalke six days ago, he found his place in the starting XI against Bodo and marked it with a goal.
