Bavaria played poorly in the heat and lost to Benfica

Munich's "Bayern" started the group stage of the World Club Championship well, but the end turned into sorrow only because they reached the playoffs in the third round. This was reported by www.euro-football.ru.

They won against "Auckland City" with a score of 10:0, but lost to "Benfica" with a score of 0:1. In the first half, the Munich players were far from their best, which was caused by the 37-degree heat at the "Bank of America" stadium.

The European football network publication "Euro-Futbol.Ru" criticized four Bayern players, but in reality, their number was even higher. In the initial assessment of the game, a maximum of 10 points was given, with an average score around 6.0. Dayo Upamecano and Josip Stanisic were rated 3.0 points.

Overall, the Munich defense was weak in the first half, which was clearly demonstrated by Shylderup's goal. Additionally, Pavlidis easily deceived Upamecano and Stanisic, while Dayo posed a risk of scoring an own goal with Neuer due to an injury. Tom Bishof received a score of 3.5 points.

Bayern's new player played behind the attackers, but his quick passes could not create an effective game against the well-defended "Benfica." Leroy Sane was rated 3.0 points.

He wasted many of his chances. At the end of the first half, he failed to accurately direct the ball after a pass from Gnabry, and at the beginning and end of the second half, goalkeeper Trubin successfully stopped two chances created by Sane. Thus, although "Bayern" is capable of advancing to the next stage, they faced significant criticism due to numerous mistakes and missed opportunities in the game.

The team needs to prepare much more seriously for the upcoming matches. This game served as a warning signal for "Bayern."
