Champions League: Leipzig Wins, Bayern Munich Drops Points in Wild Draw

RB Leipzig won their opening Champions League match 1-0 against PSV Eindhoven. Brajan Gruda scored the winner with a long-range strike, and goalkeeper Vandevoordt sealed the win by saving a penalty.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, were held to a 3-3 draw away at Viking FK. The hosts took the lead after just 71 seconds and led 2-0 at halftime. Bayern fought back through two Harry Kane goals, but lost control after Michael Olise was sent off in the 74th minute and conceded a late equalizer in the 90th minute.

Why it matters

It was a night of contrasts for Germany's two big clubs — Leipzig opened their group stage with a win, while Bayern's squad depth and discipline came under scrutiny again. The results show how much pressure both teams are under in their upcoming matches.
