The match started strong for Bayern, with Thomas Müller scoring in the first minute after a defensive error from Bratislava. Harry Kane doubled Bayern's lead in the 55th minute, finishing clinically after a well-timed cross. Kingsley Coman extended the advantage in the 70th minute with a powerful shot from outside the area, marking the end of his 13-game goal drought. Slovan Bratislava managed to pull one back late in the game, as Marko Tolić scored a header from a corner in the 88th minute.
Although Bayern dominated possession and set a Champions League record with their 34th consecutive home game unbeaten in the group or league phase, they couldn't keep a clean sheet, conceding the late goal. The victory lifts Bayern to 12th place in the Champions League standings, with their playoff round opponent to be decided by UEFA's draw. Bayern's hope now rests on favorable outcomes in at least seven of the ten other match results to have a chance at a top-eight finish.
In a surprising turn of events, Mathys Tel appeared to say goodbye to Bayern Munich's fans after the match, sparking speculation about a possible departure. The forward is reportedly attracting interest from top clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
