Leon Goretzka scored for the Bavarian first, before Jean-Paul Boetius grabbed an equaliser at the Opel Arena. Thiago Alcantara later snatched what proved to be the winner soon after the hour mark. Most of the Bayern players raced towards the Spain midfielder after his strike, but Kimmich took a diversion via Sanches first, something he later explained.

Thiago Alcantara celebrating after scoring a winner for Bayern Munich

“The second goal, it’s [Sanches] that won the ball,” he told Sport1. “The determination he showed to win back possession ultimately won us the game. Of course, [Robert Lewandowski] also played the ball well and Thiago finished it, but it’s not always the scorer who decides the game.”

Sanches was a European champion with Portugal and Golden Boy winner when he joined Bayern from Benfica in 2016, but initially struggled to settle at the Allianz Arena and spent last season on loan with Swansea City.

The midfielder, now 21, appears to be settling into his stride under Niko Kovac’s guidance, though, and Kimmich is full of admiration for the powerful midfielder who now seems to have the mental strength to go with his physicality.

“I take my hat off to him,” continued Kimmich. “It takes some guts to come here alone at 18. He didn’t have it so easy the first time around but then to come back and clearly state that he wanted to succeed – it’s remarkable how he’s done that, mentally.”

A two-year loan deal was agreed in the summer of 2017 which took the Colombian play maker to Bavaria, after his time working with Zinedine Zidane proved to be less than pleasing for all involved.

Niko Kovac could have changed matters with the club having been linked with a summer move for Ante Rebic of Frankfurt

With the French coach having departed in June there is a new era beginning at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, one headed by the former Spain coach.

Thus far he has insisted on the return of the former Monaco midfielder, who now believes it will be possible for him to return a year earlier than originally planned. Bayern Munich have shown no appetite to agree to an early exit up to this point, although they haven’t given Los Blancos a concrete rejection.

Rodriguez’s exceptional season with Bayern Munich in 2017/18 left the German champions incredibly pleased with their loan agreement

Relations between the two clubs remain positive off the pitch and there is a feeling in the Spanish capital that this could facilitate the return of the Colombian international before the beginning of the 2018/19 season.

Rodriguez’s exceptional season with Bayern Munich in 2017/18 left the German champions incredibly pleased with their loan agreement.

They don’t wish to lose a player who has become pivotal to their team, although the arrival of Niko Kovac could have changed matters with the club having been linked with a summer move for Ante Rebic of Frankfurt.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure may give James Rodriguez a way in

Real Madrid believe the 27-year-old would like to return now that Zidane has left the club and Lopetegui has instructed the club to do whatever it takes to bring him back.

Bayern’s Karl-Heinz Rummenigge understands the will of the player is important, and this is one of the reasons why they haven’t completely closed the option of allowing him to leave.

The game is dominated by talk of the return of former Barcelona and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola at the Nou Camp but other European top sides will be in action also.

The Blaugrana lead Group C with six points having scored nine times in their opening two fixtures against Celtic and Borussia Monchengladbach respectively  while City are below on four points with seven goals.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will take on his former team Barcelona in the Champions League

Guardiola‘s side is winless in its last three matches across all competitions and are currently on a poor run of form.

Barcelona will welcome back star player Lionel Messi in the team having played against Deportivo in La Liga on 15th October, 2016.

In the other Group C game, Celtic who put up a spirited performance against Manchester City host Borussia Monchengladbach looking for maximum points to boost their qualification chances.

Meanwhile London Giants Arsenal will host Ludogorets at the Emirates Stadium looking to take command of Group A with Paris Saint-Germain taking on Basel.

The Gunners are favourites in the game and a win will boost their passage to the knock-out phase.

In the other games, last season’s finalist Atletico Madrid travel to Russia to take on FC Rostov.

Bayern Munich who host PSV Eindhoven at the Allianz Allena began the season with eight straight wins in all competitions but are now without a win in three games and suffered their first defeat of the season at Atletico Madrid in their last European match.

Napoli who have won their first two games will be hosting Besiktas at Stadio San Paolo and Dynamo Kyiv of Ukraine takes on Benfica of Portugal in Group B.

Meanwhile, Chelsea had to settle for a 0-0 draw away to Dynamo Kiev but reigning European champions Barcelona won in Belarus and Bayer Leverkusen played out a thrilling 4-4 draw with Roma in Germany.

Arsenal striker Oliver Giroud celebrates after scoring his team’s opener in the second-half against Bayern Munich at the Emirates (Picture: Getty)

Bayern arrived in London having won every game this season and they dominated possession for much of an absorbing Group F encounter.

However, they only remained on level terms at the break thanks to a stunning save by Manuel Neuer to keep out a header from point-blank range by the unmarked Theo Walcott.

But Arsenal, in desperate need of a win after defeats to Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos in their first two games, took advantage of a howler by Neuer to get the crucial breakthrough with 13 minutes remaining.

The Germany goalkeeper came and missed a free-kick, allowing substitute Giroud to bundle the ball into the net.

Arsenal then secured the points that keep alive their chances of progressing to the last 16 when Ozil’s finish from Hector Bellerin’s assist crossed the line despite Neuer’s best efforts to keep it out.

The Gunners remain bottom of the group with a trip to Bayern to come next, but the four sides are separated by just three points after Olympiakos won 1-0 in Croatia in the night’s other game thanks to a late Brown Ideye goal.

“We had an absolute necessity to win the game and we did it in a disciplined way,” said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

“Bayern had more possession than us, but we decided to make it tight in our final third and catch them on the break.”

Mourinho targets officials

Chelsea remain in a precarious position in Group G after a 0-0 draw with Dynamo Kiev in chilly Ukraine as the recalled Eden Hazard and Willian both hit the woodwork for the visitors.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho also felt that his side should have been given a penalty after Cesc Fabregas went down in the Dynamo box during the first half and later told UK television that the referee had been “weak and naive”.

The Premier League champions are third in the group, a point behind Dynamo and three points adrift of Porto, who beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0 in Portugal thanks to goals by Vincent Aboubakar and Yacine Brahimi.

But with home games against Dynamo and Porto to come, as well as a trip to Israel, Mourinho remains confident his side will go through.

“We have the destiny in our hands,” he said. “We play two matches at home and one in Israel, so the qualification depends clearly on us.”

Barcelona strengthened their position atop Group E with a 2-0 victory away to BATE, secured by two fine second-half goals from substitute Ivan Rakitic, both set up Neymar.

“It was a very good game overall from the team. We pressed well and I don’t think BATE had a single chance,” said Rakitic.

The other match in the group was without doubt the game of the evening, with Leverkusen taking a two-goal lead and then falling 4-2 down before fighting back to snatch a precious point against Roma.

Javier Hernandez opened the scoring from the penalty spot for the Bundesliga side and increased their lead in the 19th minute, but Daniele De Rossi replied with a double for Roma before the break.

A tremendous Miralem Pjanic free-kick put the visitors in front and Iago Falque appeared to have secured a first win of the campaign for the Italians in the 73rd minute.

But Kevin Kampl reduced the deficit and substitute Admir Mehmedi rounded off a breathtaking game by making it 4-4 four minutes from time to keep Leverkusen in second place and leave Roma bottom of the group.

Zenit St Petersburg closed in on a quarter-final place with a third straight win in Group H as Artem Dzyuba, Hulk and Danny netted in a 3-1 victory over Lyon, for whom Alexandre Lacazette had equalised.

Valencia are three points back in second place after beating Gent 2-1 in Spain thanks to a Sofiane Feghouli shot that went in off Lasse Nielsen and a Stefan Mitrovic own goal either side of a Thomas Foket strike for the Belgians.
