Napoli & Bayern Munich Continue Domination in Matchday 3 of Champions League

The UEFA Champions League Group Stage continued on Tuesday with Matchday 3, and two teams remain head and shoulders above the competition. Both Napoli and Bayern Munich were five-goal winners to keep their Champions League records unblemished through three games. Napoli continues to garner the headlines with a 13-2 goal differential in Group A. They pummeled Ajax (6-1) and appear to be torching their way to the No. 1 seed in the Knockout Stage. Two blowouts, five shutouts, and a scoreless draw highlight Tuesday across the pond, but there’s more action on the way today.
