Bayern Munich lineup (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; Juan Bernat, Mehdi Benatia, Jerome Boateng, Philipp Lahm; David Alaba, Xabi Alonso; Mario Götze, Thomas Müller, Arjen Robben; Robert Lewandowski
An inform AS Roma had one of their worst nightmares come true as they lost their first game at Stadio Olympico, that too in some style. Bayern thrashed the capital club 7-1 as they turned the clock back to 2013.
The visitors had a blitzkrieg of sorts as they pumped in 5 goals within 36 minutes to kill any Roman hopes of getting a result.
Arjen Robben led the charge with a brace while Robert Lewandowski, Mario Götze and Thomas Müller found the back of the net once. Roma got a consolation via Gervinho but it spurred the visitors on.
Substitutes Xherdan Shaqiri and Franck Ribery also joined in the party to complete the rout. Roma's first defeat at home leaves them in third place in the group behind Manchester City who drew 2-2 in Russia.
