Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 victory against Olympique Lyon during the preseason opener at Allianz Arena, showcasing promising play. Young talents Lennart Karl and Paul Wanner impressed alongside veterans, while injured player Aleksandar Pavlović's absence allows others like Tom Bischof to step up. Karl missed a key scoring opportunity early on. Luis Díaz almost scored, but Lyon's keeper Rémy Descamps made a crucial save. Joshua Kimmich's assist led to a penalty awarded to Michael Olise, highlighting the energetic playstyle of Bayern's younger players.
Bayern Munich pulled out a 2-1 victory over Olympique Lyon at the Allianz Arena on Saturday in a match that represented a solid start to the 2025/26 campaign for the Bavarians.
The big news of the day was that Aleksandar Pavlović suffered a broken orbital bone in training. It is unclear how exactly Pavlović suffered the break, but his injury has now opened the door for players like Tom Bischof and Leon Goretzka to make an impact for the next month.
Wanner and Karl each bring a bold, fast style of play. It's almost electric when they get the ball on their foot because they are always looking to attack and looking to create chaos.
Luis Díaz tried to take advantage of the home crowd, acceptance in adoration and almost scored, except for a great save by the Lyon goalkeeper Rémy Descamps.
