Bayern Munich’s Konrad Laimer matches Marcelo UEFA Champions League record

Bayern Munich defender Konrad Laimer put on a historic display during his club's fourth fixture of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League tournament against Atletico Madrid. Playing in the right-back position, the Austrian competitor accumulated thirteen penalty actions, tying a statistical benchmark previously set by Real Madrid defender Marcelo during a 2017 contest.

Laimer also contributed offensively by securing his side's second goal in the seventy-fourth minute without registering a single ball action inside his own defensive zone, ultimately earning Man of the Match honors.

Following the final whistle, teammate Tom Bischof praised the defender's stellar run of form to reporters. Laimer himself emphasized the value of capturing a well-earned victory over a strong opponent, noting that the three points will provide a helpful momentum surge ahead of upcoming fixtures, including a domestic match against Mainz.
