Mehdi Benatia impresses in Bayern Munich debut against Manchester City
New Bayern Munich signing Mehdi Benatia made a strong first impression in European competition during Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Manchester City, helping his side secure a 1-0 victory.
The Moroccan defender, transferred from AS Roma over the summer, earned high praise from Bayern coach Pep Guardiola after the match. Speaking to Sky Sports, Guardiola said: “He has only just arrived but he has been excellent. He is a player who will bring a lot.”
The decisive goal came late in the game from German-Ghanaian defender Jérôme Boateng, securing a crucial win for the German champions as they begin their Champions League campaign.
