It was indeed a very harsh manner for Rostov to start their first ever Champions league campaign, as Bayern Munich mauled them 5-0 at Alianz Arena to welcome them to Germany.
Joshua Kimmich scored a brace,while Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and Juan Bernat scored one each, making their visitors who had traveled all the way from Russia face a night mere.
The German giant proved too strong, as they were tactically far better than Rostov, though it took them 28 minutes before they got their first goal of the match, before a second goal came at injury time just before half time.
Carlos Ancelloti who has won the European champions league title on three occasions will be hoping to lead Bayern to another European title as the Italian remains the only manager to have won three titles.
