CL Group Stage Action: vs. Valencia

Well, folks, today Bayern opened up our 2012-3 Champion's League campaign. All in all, there's not that much to say about the match. We dominated possession (67% of it was ours) and led in every category save for fouls, yellow cards (2), red cards (1). And despite Mandzukic's missed penalty, we still won 2-1.

So, for now, I'd just like to bask in the fact that, in all competitions, we have four men who are our co-scoring leaders...

Thomas Muller, who has clearly decided to fight for his spot in the first team.
Mario Mandzukic, who is settling in well.
Toni Kroos, who, like Muller, is making it clear he belongs in our Starting XI.
And Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is back from injury and has now scored in 3 of 4 matches he's played so far this season.

I was explaining to a friend earlier that there are four things (this is not an exhaustive list...I wouldn't be physically or mentally capable of listing EVERYTHING) that I really love about Bayern:
1. Basti
2. Toni
3. Basti goals
4. Toni goals
So, as far as I'm concerned, this match was pretty much perfect.

We'll be back with you on Saturday when we head to Gelsenkirchen to take on Schalke. Until then, please enjoy this picture of our two goal scorers from today...
