Rome, Sep 4 (Ians) Inter Milan maintained their flawless record in Serie A, overpowering Fiorentina 4-0 while Juventus secured a 2-0 victory against Empoli on the road.
Inter, having started the new season with two wins and no goals conceded, saw coach Simone Inzaghi deploy a 3-5-2 formation for Sunday’s match. Newcomer Benjamin Pavard started on the bench, reports Xinhua.
Marcus Thuram was active from the outset and eventually got his maiden goal for Inter in the 23rd minute, capitalising on a cross from Federico Dimarco. The Frenchman broke the deadlock with a powerful header.
Denzel Dumfries nearly scored just after halftime, but his shot struck the post. However, the Nerazzurri soon doubled their lead when Thuram’s pass found Lautaro Martinez, who confidently found the back of the net. The hosts further extended their lead in the 58th minute. After Thuram was fouled in the box, Hakan Calhanoglu confidently converted the resulting penalty.

Berlin, May 21 (Ians) Bayern Munich dropped crucial points in the title race after Leipzig came from behind to clinch a stunning 3-1 away victory in the 33rd round.
The Bavarians gained the upper hand from the get-go and dominated possession against passive visitors from Leipzig.
The hosts came close with 18 minutes gone when Thomas Muller tested Leipzig goalkeeper Janis Blaswich from a central position on Saturday.
Bayern’s efforts paid off seven minutes later when Serge Gnabry made the most of Muller’s good build-up work to break the deadlock from the edge of the box into the near post corner, a Xinhua report said.
Three minutes later, Bayern should have made it two but for all that Jamal Musiala rattled only the outside of the netting from a tight angle.

Munich (Germany), April 18 (Ians) To survive in stormy times, calmness seems the most promising recipe. Ahead of their Champions League last eight-round second leg against Manchester City this Wednesday evening, the struggling side of Bayern Munich seems to follow that guideline exactly.
Forgetting about the team-internal turmoil, rumours of a decaying squad, the noisy change of coaches, and the sportive malaise seem to work for the moment, reports Xinhua.
Everyone is keeping their feet behind the line and focusing on creating a miracle after the 3-0 setback in the first leg against the Skyblues.
Current statistics might not create optimism. Defenders such as Dayot Upamecano and Benjamin Pavard scored the goals in the recent four games, while strikers and midfielders seem stuck in a fatal goal drought.
Three goals in four games are the lowest figure since autumn 2018. A similar poor harvest Bayern experienced back in 1998 when the Bavarians spoiled...

Berlin, March 28 (Ians) Benjamin Pavard’s goal saw France edge Ireland to lead Group B in a tough Euro 2024 qualifying fixture in Dublin, while the Netherlands and Hungary claimed victories in less stressful encounters.
Pavard’s strike from distance in the 50th minute ensured Les Bleus two straight wins in their qualifying campaign. The 2022 FIFA World Cup runners-up were restricted to few chances in the opening half, but Pavard cut out a Josh Cullen pass just outside the Ireland area before arrowing a strike, reports Xinhua.
The Netherlands bounced back after being thrashed by France on Friday as they won 3-0 over Gibraltar. Memphis Depay’s header in the 23rd minute gave the hosts a deserved lead midway through the first half, before Nathan Ake nodded in a second four minutes after the restart.
Gibraltar suffered the majority of their second half with only 10 players on the pitch after Liam Walker...

Berlin, March 20 (Ians) Bayer Leverkusen’s Exequiel Palacios scored twice from the penalty spot to upset Bayern Munich with a 2-1 comeback win in the Bundesliga.

Berlin (Germany), March 7 (Ians) Tension seems omnipresent around Bayern Munich’s offices and training pitches. The second leg of the last-16 round of the UEFA Champions League at Munich this Wednesday seems to have turned into the season’s most important encounter.
Not only coach Julian Nagelsmann announced the outcome is going to decide about good or bad when it comes to this campaign’s evaluation. After the disappointing exit against underdog Villareal in the last-8 last season, the Bayern coach is said to stand under close supervision.
Despite the 1-0 victory in Paris, the 2020 treble winners’ concerns couldn’t be greater as unpleasant memories are alive about the 33 minutes in mid-February when recovered Kylian Mbappe turned up and single-handedly changed the game’s pattern.
A fair amount of fortune again seems required to kick the can down the road on home soil as Bayern’s back row line-up has become a delicate puzzle.
