Debutant Luis Suarez wasted no time in making his mark at Atletico Madrid as Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich suffered a day to forget.
Suarez came off the bench with 20 minutes remaining, and Atletico leading 3-0, to announce himself in style three days after his arrival from Barcelona with two goals in a 6-1 rout of Granada.
Diego Costa scored the only goal of the first half after nine minutes, with Saul Niguez's seeing his 16th-minute penalty saved by Rui Silva for the hosts.
