Penalty goal scored by T. Müller for Bayern Munich!
MULLER MAKES IT THREE! That's now 11 goals in eight games for club and country for the Bayern No. 25, who slides it into the bottom corner with the keeper going the wrong way.
90' +1
PENALTY TO BAYERN! Quick feet from Coman, who beats two players but is bundled to the turf by Masuaku. Great skill from the former PSG youngster, and Muller can add another one...
89'
M. Götze has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by K. Coman.
AND THAT WILL DO IT! Bayern seal it with one of the last kicks of the game, as Coman makes inroads down the right, before spraying the ball to Gotze, who slams it into the back of the net from an angle!
88'
Olympiacos are piling on the pressure. Well, at least as much as they can. There's no space for Ideye inside the box though, with Boateng draped all over him, perhaps to make up for that last gaffe.
86'
J. Kimmich gets yellow.
Kimmich, not too long off the bench, commits a rash challenge against Dominguez, which leads to a booking for the substitute. Olympiacos can't profit from the resulting free-kick though.
84'
Job nearly done for Bayern, with just over five minutes remaining in this one. However, that last chance shows that they still have to be professional in the little bit of time that remains.
82'
Sebá enters the game and replaces F. Pardo.
MASSIVE CHANCE WASTED! it looked like a speculative ball over the top for Ideye, but he wins the header against Boateng, and flicks it perfectly into the path of Salino, who races into the area but blasts the ball into the side netting! He's been quite profligate today.
80'
Seba comes on for Pardo as Olympiacos finally orchestrate a spell on the ball. The introduction of Gotze for Vidal is a fairly attacking swap, with the former Dortmund man not as adept defensively.
79'
M. Götze enters the game and replaces A. Vidal.
78'
Vidal blazes one over the bar after Coman's lay-off, and that will be his last action, with Gotze coming on in his stead. News coming in from Croatia that Dinamo Zagreb have conceded, with Arsenal pulling the game back to 2-1.
Minute
Description
76'
J. Kimmich enters the game and replaces Xabi Alonso.
Ouch. Alonso clashes painfully with Kasami and he's down for the count. Kimmich is soon summoned to replace him, with the Spaniard enjoying an accomplished game. Less than a quarter of an hour to go now.
74'
Not a whole lot happening out on the pitch at the moment, with the fans getting a little frustrated at their team's inability to create chances against Bayern. One goal is all they need but it may as well be five based on how they're playing at the moment.
72'
Bayern are trying to hit the opposition with a series of low crosses which are just about being dealt with for now by the hosts. They have simply been unable to wrest possession away from the Bavarians.
70'
You get the feeling that Bayern might just nick another goal before this is all said and done. Olympiacos should not be too disappointed if this result stands - they've given a good account of themselves for large spells of this game.
68'
Thiago plays a one-two with Lahm which allows the move to set up Muller for a shot. The red-hot forward takes two bites of the cherry to call Roberto into action. His goal is still the difference here.
66'
K. Fortounis enters the game and replaces E. Cambiasso.
Cambiasso had himself a decent game in the centre of the park, working hard to break up play, but his evening is at an end as Fortounis is introduced in his place in a more attacking change.
64'
As the half has gone on, Bayern have exerted their control more and more over the tempo of play. They're passing the life out of Olympiacos at the moment, who are struggling to get on the ball.
62'
Silva introduces Hernani for Dominguez, and there's news coming in from Croatia that Dinamo Zagreb have taken a 2-0 lead against Arsenal. This group is not going to be a cakewalk for anyone.
61'
Hernâni enters the game and replaces A. Domínguez.
60'
Coman gets his first run on the ball - he has Costa to the left and Muller to the right. He decides to cut inside and go for goal himself, but it's off the mark and to the left of the far post.
59'
K. Coman enters the game and replaces R. Lewandowski.
58'
Kingsley Coman enters the fray for Robert Lewandowski, as Olympiacos manufacture a solid spell in possession. Still only the one goal in this, and the hosts aren't out of this yet.
56'
Elabdellaoui makes inroads in the opposition half before he lays the ball off to Ideye, who has a powerful strike from the edge of the area that draws a fine tip over the bar from Manuel Neuer!
54'
Cambiasso combines with Salino at the edge of the box and frees the latter into a great position at the near post. He can have a crack or set up Ideye for the tap-in, but he does neither and cuts it right into Neuer's arms.
52'
T. Müller has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by A. Vidal.
THAT'S IN! Bayern have the lead but there's a huge element of fluke involved. Muller had every intention of flinging a cross to the back post but it instead sails towards the top corner. Roberto misjudges the initial flight and gets a despairing finger on the ball as it sails home!
50'
Some excellent link-up play between Alaba, Vidal and Alonso sets up a half-volley for Muller, who can't find the target. Bayern are starting to get back into their groove.
48'
No changes at the break from either side and its Olympiacos who look to make the first foray forward. Pardo advances down the centre but his ball lacks any kind of direction and is out for a goal kick.
46'
Here we go again!
45' +2
Bayern fail to clear a ball from a set piece with any sort of conviction, and it spills to Ideye inside the area. The striker shapes to shoot but the flag is up on the far side - a correct decision as the replays show.
45' +1
Muller becomes the first booking for Bayern as he hauls Dominguez back, although it looked to be an even tussle for the ball. Guardiola looks away in disgust as Muller has a word with the referee and Dominguez.
45'
T. Müller gets yellow.
NOT TOO FAR AWAY! Thiago puts the ball on a plate for Alonso about 20-25 yards out, and the Spaniard needs no second invitation to hit it from there - but it whistles just wide of the far post!
43'
Neuer races nearly out to the corner flag to prevent Pardo from latching onto a speculative ball down the line. The Olympiacos forward, perhaps frustrated at his lack of involvement, barges into the keeper, but avoids getting penalized as the referee signals a throw-in.
41'
It's going from bad to worse for Arsenal in the other group match as Olivier Giroud has received his marching orders. Down a goal and a man - can the Gunners spring a miraculous comeback?
39'
Bernat takes some initiative in the final third and lashes a shot towards goal which flies wide of the top corner. Olympiacos will live with him taking those kind of shots all game long.
37'
Arsenal, by the way, are down in Zagreb against Dinamo. Bayern are the heavy favourites in this group with the Gunners many people's picks for second place, but it's far from a foregone conclusion.
35'
CLOSE SHAVE! Costa manufactures the space for a cross on the right, and his delivery finds Lewandowski at the back post after a missed connection from Muller. The Polish striker lashes one on goal but the keeper scampers into position to make the save.
33'
Costa lashes one right down the throat of Roberto, who has looked assured between the posts for the home side. Bayern are attacking with more pace and urgency though, which looks to be Guardiola's doing.
31'
Olympiacos are essentially keeping everyone but Ideye back in their own half to defend against the waves of Bayern possession. They've done a good job so far of denying the visiting side space in the box.
29'
This is a little bit better from Olympiacos as they are starting to get the crosses in, but there's still not enough support in the box for them. They need to take chances like Ideye's earlier.
27'
COULD AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE OPENER! Alonso takes charge of the free-kick after the foul on Costa, and flights a lovely delivery in for Lewandowski to attack with his head, but the combination of Roberto and Siovas gets rid of the danger just on the line!
25'
O. Elabdellaoui gets yellow.
Elabdellaoui, who has been admirable so far, is beaten by the trickery of Costa and resorts to a late challenge to bring him down. The yellow card comes out for the third time in Olympiacos' direction.
23'
E. Cambiasso gets yellow.
Alonso and Salino get into it during a scramble for the ball, and despite the Spaniard appearing to be the aggressor, there is no foul forthcoming from the referee. Cambiasso complains, and gets carded for his efforts.
21'
With the full-backs of Bayenr camped so far up the field, there exists the opportunity for players to exploit space down the flanks. Ideye and Pardo could drift wide to pick up possession in the space.
19'
WOW. That was a chance and then some for Olympiacos. Pardo collects the ball out on the right and his cross takes a deflection which carries it right into the path of Ideye, unmarked inside the box. However, he generates absolutely no power on his header and it's saved easily.
17'
Costa shows superb footwork to leave two men in the dust, almost in the manner of Memphis Depay against PSV last night. However, he can't sort the final ball out to pick out a colleague in a dangerous area.
15'
Douglas Costa is the only one looking to drive at players at the moment, with Vidal, Muller and the rest more interested in playing the ball along. It may not look like much, but there's so much physical and mental focus needed to defend against waves of possession.
13'
Not a whole lot happening in terms of goalscoring chances as Bayern probe their way through the Olympiacos ranks. It's typically a difficult venue for teams to visit, this, and the home side are coping relatively well.
11'
Bayern are starting to exhibit their traditional dominance of possession, but they have to be careful as Dominguez cuts goalside of Boateng, who is left hanging, but the midfielder's shot is no problem for Neuer.
9'
Lahm has a lot of space to pick a cross into the box and he floats it to the back post. Roberto is taken out of the equation by the ball, but Muller is out-jumped to the ball by Elabdellaoui.
7'
Ideye shows sterling hustle to fashion a chance at the byline thanks to a quick interception. However, his cross is blocked before a teammate can pounce, and from the corner, the hosts produce nothing.
5'
P. Kasami gets yellow.
Muller has the ball at the top of the box after a poor Olympiacos free-kick breaks down. Kasami is onto him but in his haste to cut out the opportunity, he fouls the forward, conceding a free kick and picking up a yellow card.
3'
Bayern try to break swiftly to create the first shooting opportunity of the game, but Lewandowski's shot is blocked by Salino. The home side are in their regular red and white strip, while the away side are in their darker navy third kit.
1'
Off we go!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Champions League clash between Bayern Munich and Olympiacos in Greece. Pep Guardiola is hoping it's third time lucky for him after two consecutive semi-final exits in as many years at the helm of Bayern. Keeghann Sinanan here, your guide for all the action.
Bayern, as expected, have started with a bang in the Bundesliga, winning all four of their matches and scoring 15 goals in the process. However, it is the Champions league that the Bavarians truly crave. Real Madrid and Barcelona have knocked them out in the last four ever since their dramatic victory over Dortmund to lift the 2013 trophy. Can Pepe lift his third UCL title as coach this season?
Marco Silva's Olympiacos have started strongly as well in the Greek top flight, winning all three of their domestic games to start the new campaign while conceding only once. They are making their 17th appearance in the tournament and are unbeaten in 11 matches - stretching back to April.
These two teams last met in the 1900-81 European Cup, where Bayern defeated Olympiakos 7-2 on aggregate. Guardiola's team are clear favourites, but the Greek side are riding a 6-game winning streak at home in this competition - with Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United amongst the scalps.
Olympiacos (4-3-1-2): Jimenez; Elabdellaoui, Manuel da Costa, Siovas, Masuaku; Salino, Cambiasso, Kasami; Dominguez; Pardo, Brown Ideye.
Veteran midfielder Esteban Cambiasso starts in the centre of the park for the home side, while Alejandro Dominguez lines up just behind a front two of Brown Ideye and Felipe Pardo. For Bayern there's no Arjen Robben or Franck Ribery, while defensive absences sees David Alaba partner Jerome Boateng at the back.
And that will do it from the first half in Piraeus, with no goals between Bayern Munich and Olympiacos. The Bavarians have been the stronger side, but the hosts will be pleased with the relative lack of chances that they have conceded. They even managed danger at the other end, but Ideye fluffed his lines from a free header. Stay tuned for the restart in just a bit.
The referee ends things in Greece as Bayern clinch a deserved 3-0 win without ever having to move into top gear. The accusations of complacency may continue, but the Bavarians did what they had to do at an almost leisurely pace. Muller at the double and another from Gotze did the damage, as Olympiacos' six-game winning streak at home in the Champions League is snapped.
That's all from me, Keeghann Snanan here signing off and wishing you all the best.
