This video can not be played Bayern's qualification hopes dented after shock defeat by Feyenoord Bayern Munich's hopes of qualifying directly to the Champions League knockouts were dealt a blow as they were stunned by Feyenoord. The top eight in the league phase progress automatically to the next stage and a win for Bayern would have ensured they were almost there with one game to go. The game was suspended for several minutes just after kick-off as smoke from flares made visibility on the pitch difficult. Once it got back under way, however, Bayern looked lethargic and fell behind midway through the first half when Santiago Gimenez drove into the box before firing past Manuel Neuer. Feyenoord keeper Justin Bijlow produced a great close-range save to deny Harry Kane a equaliser and it was crucial as the hosts added a second on the stroke of half time. Calvin Stengs was fouled inside the box and Gimenez stepped up to confidently score the penalty. The excellent Bijlow made a fingertip save to deny Jamal Musiala in the second half as Bayern pushed to get back into the game, but Feyenoord made sure of victory with a late third as Ayase Ueda slotted in. The result means Bayern are 15th in the standings, one point outside the top eight with Slovan Bratislava the visitors in their final league phase game next Wednesday. The win for Feyenoord boosted their own chances of finishing in the top eight as the Dutch side, who travel to Lille next Wednesday, are up to 11th place but level on 13 points with eighth-placed Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich are unbeaten in their last eight UEFA Champions League games against Dutch opponents (W4 D4), with their last such defeat coming away to PSV in October 1999 (1-2). They have failed to win each of the most recent two, however, drawing twice against Ajax in the 2018-19 group stage. Feyenoord have scored 14 UEFA Champions League goals in six games this season, their most since 1999-00 (14 in 12 games). In the European Cup, they’ve only scored more in two seasons – 24 in 1969-70 (winners) and 24 in 1971-72 (quarter-finalists). 82% of Bayern Munich’s 17 UEFA Champions League goals this season have been scored in two of their six games, winning 9-2 against Dinamo Zagreb and 5-1 against Shakhtar Donetsk. In their other four games, they’ve converted just 4. 3% of their shot attempts (3 out of 70). No side’s UEFA Champions League games this season have seen more goals than Feyenoord (29 – 14 goals, 15 conceded). If they score in this game, they’ll be one of only three teams to have both scored and conceded 15+ goals in their first seven games of a season, after FC Porto in 2017-18 and Tottenham Hotspur in 2019-20. Bayern Munich have the lowest PPDA total in this season’s UEFA Champions League (7. 1) and have forced the most high turnovers (94). They’ve also started their open play sequences 50. 4 metres from their own goal, the highest up the field of any side. Igor Paixão has been involved in five goals in six UEFA Champions League appearances for Feyenoord this season (1 goal, 4 assists) – no player has ever had a hand in more in a single campaign for the club; both Bonaventure Kalou (2 goals, 3 assists) and John Dahl Tomasson (4 goals, 1 assist) had five in 1999-00. This game could be Harry Kane’s 50th UEFA Champions League appearance, scoring 34 goals in 49 games so far (21 in 32 games for Spurs, 13 in 17 for Bayern Munich). The only players with more goals in their first 50 games are Erling Haaland (46 in 45 currently) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (43), while the only two Englishmen to score in their 50th game are Wayne Rooney in 2010 vs. Milan and Phil Foden in 2024 vs. FC København. Santiago Giménez has scored 10 major European goals for Feyenoord in 18 appearances, scoring a goal every 106 minutes. The last player to score more than 10 goals for Feyenoord in Europe was Jon Dahl Tomasson (11th goal in 2002). Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala created more chances from open play than any other player in the UEFA Champions League in 2024 (28), while he also had the highest expected assists total in the competition last year (3. 61).
