MUNICH, Germany - Bayern Munich staged an unprecedented comeback in the Champions League, scoring three goals in a breathtaking 12-minute span to overhaul Portuguese visitors Sporting 3-1. The turnaround was sparked by Serge Gnabry's equalizing volley in the 65th minute, followed by teenage sensation Lennart Karl's third goal in four Champions League matches four minutes later. The Bavarians sealed their stunning win with Jonathan Tah's decisive poke-in in the 77th minute, sending the home crowd into raptures. Sporting had taken an unexpected lead through Joshua Kimmich's own goal nine minutes after the restart, but Bayern's resilience and skill ultimately paid off. The 3-1 victory keeps the Bundesliga leaders on course for a top-eight finish, with Karl becoming the youngest player in Champions League history to score in three consecutive appearances. Sporting, meanwhile, slipped to ninth in the standings with two matches left in the league phase.
