The marquee signing joined Bavarian giants earlier this summer for a fee reported to be in the region of £28.8million from Premier League giants Liverpool.

He followed it up with goals in the Bundesliga against VfL Bochum and Eintracht Frankfurt, respectively.

Meanwhile, Buoyed by close to 50 000 fans, FC Viktoria Köln were up for a challenge when they took on Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal.

Playing at FC Koln’s stadium, Viktoria Köln started the game brightly and took the fight to Bayern. They even had the ball in the net first, but it was ruled out for offside.

While Bayern had no shots on target in the first 15 minutes, they turned that around in the second 15 minutes as they registered 9 shots on target. The third 15 minutes is where they really turned up the heat as they scored twice.
