Headline: Konrad Laimer Shines in Bayern’s Champions League Victory Against Atletico Madrid
Bayern Munich’s Konrad Laimer delivered an impressive performance during Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League, showcasing his skills against Atletico Madrid. As a right-back, Laimer registered 13 penalty actions, setting a record for defenders in the Champions League, a feat last achieved by Real Madrid’s Marcelo in 2017. This achievement comes as part of detailed data collection efforts that began in the 2003/04 season. Laimer also contributed to the scoreline, netting Bayern’s second goal in the 74th minute, while notably having no ball actions in his own penalty area.
Tom Bischof praised Laimer’s form, stating, “Konny is on an incredible run at the moment.” Laimer, who received the Man of the Match award, emphasized the significance of securing three points. He remarked, “It was a thoroughly deserved win against a good team. These are three important points that will certainly give us another boost ahead of the next game against Mainz and the weeks to come.”
