The key battle failed! A 0-1 upset reveals two sinners

At 03:00 on June 25, in the third round of Group C of the Club World Cup group stage, Bayern Munich lost to Benfica 0-1. Sane missed two excellent opportunities, and Kimmich's goal was also invalid, and Schyedrup scored his only goal in the game. In the end, Benfica ranked first in the group with 7 points in three rounds, while Bayern ranked second in the group with 6 points.

This unexpected defeat not only caused Bayern to suffer a painful setback, but also created two embarrassing historical records. First of all, this is Bayern's first defeat in the Club World Cup. They have maintained a complete victory in six games, including a 10-0 victory over Auckland City and a 2-1 victory over Boca Youth in the first two rounds of this Club World Cup. Secondly, this is also the first time Bayern has lost to Benfica in a historical confrontation. They have previously achieved an unbeaten record of 10 wins and 3 draws in the confrontation between the two sides. After the game, Bayern coach Kompany became the focus of fans' criticism and was nicknamed the "record ender". Judging from this game, there were serious problems with Kompani's arrangement. He obviously overestimated the ability of the substitute players, resulting in the overall poor performance of the team. Another highly criticized player is Sane. He missed two consecutive single-on-one opportunities in the second half, wasting a rare opportunity to equalize or even overtake. Currently, Sane's contract will expire at the end of this month, and the two sides have not reached a contract renewal agreement, which may be his last appearance at Bayern. Witnessing Sane's poor performance, many Bayern fans have called on him to leave the team as soon as possible.

In the last round of the game, Bayern lost the top spot in the group because of losing to Benfica, and took the initiative to give up the advantage of qualifying, but he could only be ranked in the lower half. Although the opponent Flamenco encountered in the 1/8 final is not particularly tricky, if they successfully advance, they are likely to face Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain in subsequent matches. At the same time, there may also be strong opponents such as Real Madrid and Manchester City in the second half, making this part a truly fiercely competitive "death group".

Of course, Bayern must first cross the Flamenco level. The team, currently ranked No. 1 in the Brazilian League, has won two rounds of the Club World Cup and has secured the first place in the group ahead of schedule, including a classic match against Chelsea 3-1.
