With 18 minutes remaining, Choupo-Moting received the ball around 25 yards from goal and turned to face the opposition defence.

Noticing Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana off his line, the Indomitable Lions attacker then hit a thunderous strike into the top corner.

Choupo-Moting has now scored in his sixth game in a row in all competitions, as he continued his lethal form up front for Bayern Munich.

How Bayern defeated Inter

With Bayern already group winners and Inter safe in second place ahead of kick-off, both coaches rested several star players for what was essentially a dead rubber fixture in Group C.

The German giants took a deserved lead from a corner just after the half-hour mark, as reported by Sports Brief.

Lautaro Martinez cut an unfortunate figure as he slipped in the box, allowing Benjamin Pavard to rise unchallenged and head in the opener.

Choupo-Moting found the net with an elegant overhead kick after the break, but the goal was ruled out for offside.

The veteran striker remains in irresistible form however, and there was no stopping him as he rifled Bayern's second into the top corner at 73 minutes.

Mane says his best is yet to come

Sports Brief earlier reported that Bayern Munich forward Sadio Mane says his best is yet to come, after putting on another masterclass performance for the Bavarians in their 6-2 win over Mainz.

Mane netted once and provided two assists, as the German champions temporarily returned to the top of the Bundesliga table.

According to SB Nation, Mane has been self-critical of his performances and believes he can still get much better than how he is currently playing for Bayern Munich.
