Bayern Munich scored twice in four minutes against the run of play, through Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sane, to beat Barcelona 2-0 in their Champions League Group C match on Tuesday. It was an unhappy return to Munich for Barca striker Robert Lewandowski, the Bavarians' second-highest all-time scorer who left in the summer after eight years, with the Germans now top of their group on six points from two matches. Barcelona are on three points, along with Inter. Viktoria Plzen are in last place. Xavi's Barca enjoyed a dream start, boxing the Germans in their own half with relentless pressing and carving out several early scoring chances. Pedri's shot was blocked by keeper Manuel Neuer before Lewandowski fired a volley over the bar in the 17th. The Pole, who scored 344 goals for Bayern in 375 games, came close again four minutes later, heading on to Neuer from close range. The visitors did not give Bayern a look-in during the first half, with a hard-working Barca backline double-teaming every Bayern player when they had possession, nipping any planned move in the bud. It was a different story after the break, with Bayern bringing on Leon Goretzka and scoring against the run of play with Hernandez beating keeper Marc Andre ter Stegen at the near post from a Joshua Kimmich corner.
