Josip Stanisic, Michael Olise and Serge Gnabry handed Bayern a comfortable 3-0 lead before half-time. Nicolas Jackson, Olise and Jamal Musiala rounded off the half dozen, before Mario Pa\u0161ali\u0107\u2019s added-time consolation for the hosts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bayern's incessant pressure paid off handsomely as the German champions took firm control of their tie with Atalanta.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Josip Stani\u0161i\u0107's tap-in set the visitors on their way before a quickfire double from Serge Gnabry and Michael Olise made it 3-0 inside 25 minutes. There was no let-up, though.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nicolas Jackson added a fine counterattacking goal after the restart before Olise bent in his second with a similar effort to his first. Substitute Jamal Musiala struck a sixth midway through the second half but it was Atalanta's Mario Pasalic who had the final word, pulling one back in added time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Galatasaray head to Anfield next Wednesday with a narrow advantage after Mario Lemina's seventh-minute header ultimately decided a fast-paced encounter in Istanbul. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lemina converted after Victor Osimhen redirected Gabriel Sara's corner into his path, the only goal of a frenetic first half that could have featured several more \u2013 Florian Wirtz and Davinson S\u00e1nchez among those to threaten. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was more of the same in the second period, Liverpool coming closest when Alexis Mac Allister shot just wide before Hugo Ekitike was brilliantly denied by Ugurcan Cak\u0131r.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In another match, Lamine Yamal converted a last-gasp penalty to earn Barcelona a draw at Newcastle to take into next Wednesday's second legs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In another match, Lamine Yamal converted a last-gasp penalty to earn Barcelona a draw at Newcastle to take into next Wednesday's second legs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The hosts always appeared the likelier of the two sides to open the scoring, a Barnes curler smacking the inside of the upright in the second half before the England international got the late breakthrough. Yamal had the last word, though.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
