Bayern Munich's season opener was a thrilling one, as they beat Ligue 1 powerhouse Lens with a crucial stoppage-time winner and a memorable comeback victory. The match was full of action from start to finish, with both teams putting in some impressive displays.
In the first half, Bayern were dominant on the pitch, creating numerous opportunities but failing to convert them into goals. However, they finally broke the deadlock in the second half when a corner kick was deflected off the crossbar and fell straight to Robert Lewandowski, who scored his first goal for the club since joining from Dortmund.
The lead didn't last long though, as Lens levelled things up just moments later. However, Bayern refused to give up and continued to press for the win. They eventually found themselves behind again, but this time it was not because of their own mistakes - it was due to a stunning goal from Lens striker Benjamin Mendy.
With the score at 2-2, Bayern pulled out all the stops and started to dominate possession once again. Their persistence paid off in the 95th minute when a counterattack led to a breakaway, where Joshua Kimmich found Thiago Alcantara. The Brazilian played a perfect through ball to Kingsley Coman, who rounded the goalkeeper and slotted home the winning goal.
The final whistle blew shortly after, and the fans erupted in joy as Bayern secured their place in the top flight of European football. It was a remarkable comeback victory that showcased the team's resilience and determination. Bayern now look forward to their next match against RB Leipzig, which is also a must-win game if they want to make a strong start to the season.
