On date 1 of group A of the UEFA Champions League – 2023-2024, the Reds fell 3-4 against B. Munich despite midfielder Casemiro scoring twice.

While the away goals were scored by Rasmus Hojlund (3′ 2T) and Casemiro (42′ 2T and 49′ 2T).
Mathys Tel won the applause with his brilliant finish 46 minutes into the second half. After receiving an assist from Joshua Kimmich, the forward placed it in the goalkeeper’s right corner. Impossible for the archer!
Two shots by Leroy Sané ended up hitting the post and the Bayern Munich midfielder was left wanting.
