Continuing on the same tangent, Cancelo produced another amazing assist on his official Bundesliga outing.

The 28-year-old flying full-back provided a tailor-measured cross into the path of Kingsley Coman who made no mistake in unleashing a first-time shot from inside the box to beat the Wolfsburg goalkeeper.

Cancelo stars on Bayern debut

João Cancelo only needed 17 minutes to get his first assist for Bayern Munich.

Cancelo was handed his competitive debut against Mainz in the DFB-Pokal, less than 24 hours after sealing his shock move from Manchester City.

Making his first bow for the Bavarians, the full-back wasted no time in fully integrating himself into the team's set-up.

Why Cancelo left Man City?

Sports Brief earlier reported that Portugal international, Joao Cancelo has cleared the air about the reason behind his sensational switch to Bayern Munich in the just-ended January transfer window.

The defender completed his loan move from Manchester City to the Bundesliga giants on transfer deadline day, with that deal including an option to purchase permanently.

Cancelo is believed to have reacted angrily after learning he would not be in the starting line-up for Man City's FA Cup tie with Arsenal, per Daily Mail.
