Bayern eventually stunned Inter with the opener in the 35th minute after Benjamin Pavard nodded home Joshua Kimmich's corner.

The hosts should have added more goals to their lead, but Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman couldn't beat Inter goalie Andre Onana before the half-time whistle.

The Italian side thought they had levelled the scores after the restart, but Francesco Acerbi's header was flagged offside in the 47th minute.

Bayern gained momentum as the match progressed after Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's overhead kick was ruled offside at the hour mark.
