And Jamal Musiala (68./73. “Maybe the goal difference will be important in this group”said Bavaria’s coach Vincent Kompany at DAZN. “We did after every goal and wanted the next,” said Thomas Müller.
Auckland City, which won twelve of the latest 15 Champions League titles in Oceania, was without a chance at all times. In the first half, the team did not finish a single goal, after 20 minutes the game was decided. Ryan de Vries from Auckland City said shrugs: “We did our best.”
