"Bayern Munich went into this match in Cyprus as heavy favorites, and deservedly so. With their current run of form, it would be impossible for nearly any team to stop Bayern. Unfortunately for Pafos, they played the wrong team at the wrong time. The loan of Nicolas Jackson this season has been highly criticized, given the large loan fee, but today things took a more pleasant note."
"The Chelsea talent finally pitched in with a goal and an assist. An empty display and things might have begun to turn sour for him. Hopefully, this is the sign of things to come, but fans shouldn't get too excited quite yet. Vincent Kompany rotated by bringing in Nicolas Jackson and Raphaël Guerreiro to the lineup. This is a decent amount of rotation to rest players like Serge Gnabry and Jonathan Tah."
Bayern Munich entered the match as heavy favorites and dominated Pafos across nearly every metric. Bayern's current run under Vincent Kompany placed them on a different operating level, crushing top sides like RB Leipzig and leaving Pafos outmatched. Nicolas Jackson, on loan from Chelsea amid criticism over the fee, contributed a goal and an assist, offering a positive sign for his spell. Kompany rotated the squad, including Jackson and Raphaël Guerreiro, while resting Serge Gnabry and Jonathan Tah. Pafos showed admirable effort, scored one goal at home, but likely lack the quality for Champions League success.
