Bayern Munich enjoyed the breeziest of starts to their 2025 Club World Cup adventure and can confirm their place in the last 16 when they face Boca Juniors in their second encounter of the tournament.
The Bundesliga champions were staggering 10–0 winners over New Zealand’s Auckland City last time out as they ran riot against lowly opposition. Jamal Musiala scored a hat-trick on his return from injury and there were braces for Kingsley Coman, Michael Olise and the departing Thomas Müller. Sacha Boey was also on the scoresheet in the demolition.
Bayern will be afforded fewer luxuries against Argentinian opposition, however, with Boca providing a stern test for Vincent Kompany’s men.
Miguel Russo watched on from the sidelines as his side agonizingly surrendered a two-goal lead against Benfica in their Club World Cup opener. An ill-tempered affair saw red cards for both sides, with goals from Argentina internationals Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi condemning Boca to a frustrating draw. Avoiding defeat against Bayern will be considered a sizeable achievement.
Here is guide to this clash in Group C at the Club World Cup.
