Early morning on March 11 (Vietnam time), Bayern Munich visited Atalanta's stadium for the first leg of the Champions League 2025/26 quarter-finals. The Bundesliga representative showed overwhelming strength by overwhelming the opponent with a heavy score of 6-1.

Right after the kick-off whistle, Bayern Munich quickly imposed their game. In the 4th minute, Michael Olise tested goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi with a dangerous shot, signaling a difficult match for the home team. The continuous pressure from the German side was concretized in the 12th minute. From a quickly executed corner kick, Olise passed short to Serge Gnabry before this player crossed the ball for Josip Stanišić to rush in and tap the ball near the goal, opening the score for Bayern.

After conceding early, Atalanta appeared confused in organizing counterattacks. In the 22nd minute, Michael Olise doubled the lead himself by cutting into the middle from the right flank and then unleashing a tricky left-footed shot into the far corner. Just three minutes later, the lead was extended again. This time Olise played the role of creator with a convenient pass for Serge Gnabry to break down and finish neatly, raising the score to 3-0 for the visitors.

Before the first half ended, Bayern almost scored a fourth goal when Gnabry's shot hit the crossbar in the helplessness of Atalanta's defense.

After the break, coach Vincent Kompany made two changes by bringing in Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala. These adjustments helped Bayern continue to maintain their attacking rhythm. In the 52nd minute, Luis Díaz made a clever through pass for Nicolas Jackson to break down and finish calmly, raising the score to 4-0.

Atalanta's nightmare did not stop. In the 64th minute, Olise completed a brace with a beautiful shot from the edge of the box sending the ball straight into the high corner. Just three minutes later, Nicolas Jackson continued to make an impact by assisting Jamal Musiala to easily tap the ball near the goal, helping Bayern lead to 6-0.

Towards the end of the match, Bayern suffered some setbacks as Alphonso Davies left the field in tears due to injury, while Musiala and goalkeeper Jonas Urbig also encountered problems during added time. In the 90+3rd minute, Mario Pašalić scored a consolation goal for Atalanta after Krstović's assist, concluding the match with a score of 1-6, a bitter "tennis set" for the home team.

The heavy victory helps Bayern Munich secure a spot in the quarter-finals Champions League before the two teams meet again at Allianz Arena on March 18.
