FC Bayern gambles the group victory at the club World Cup against Benfica Lisbon. The B-Elf almost disappointed across the board. This is reflected in individual criticism.
Fighted and frustrated, the hit Munich professionals quickly went to the air -conditioned catacombs. In Charlotte’s embers, FC Bayern, which vigorously drowned by Vincent Kompany, missed the group victory at the club World Cup. At 0: 1 (0: 1) against Benfica Lisbon, the turn no longer turned with the substituted top players like Harry Kane, Joshua Kimmich or Michael Olise after the break.
“Our first half was just not good,” said Kompany: “But I was still confident for the second half.” If you don’t use the chances, you “pay the price”. In view of the heat and ramponized lawn, the Bayern coach also emphasized: “The good thing is that we no longer have to play in Charlotte.”
Andreas Schjelderup scored the winning goal for Portugal’s record champions in the 13th minute. The German champion simply did not take advantage of its chances in front of 33,287 spectators. After the trio was replaced, the Munich team surrounded the unfortunate debutant Tom Bishop and the weak Serge Gnabry and João Palhinha in the second half, but gave some good chances.
The outgoing Leroy Sané failed several times freely and almost pitifully. This weak performance was also reflected in his grading. You can read the complete T-online individual criticism here or up in the photo show.
A goal from Kimmich did not count (61.), the also substitute Konrad Laimer shot on the post (66.). Instead of playing again in Charlotte against FC Chelsea or African outsiders Espérance Tunis on Saturday at the start of the knockout phase on Saturday, Flamengo from Brazil is the opponent in Miami a day later. In the event of success, the very big exam against Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain could follow in the quarterfinals.
