Bayern Munich Sets FIFA CWC Record In A 10-Nil Win Against Auckland City Of Australian League—-There would be no surprise underdog story on the second day of the FIFA Club World Cup as Bayern Munich smashed the OFC Champions League winners Auckland City FC 10-0 at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati. According to Transfermarkt, it is the biggest win by any team since the introduction of the FIFA Club World Cup. That record, however, stretches back to the old format.

Either way, the result was to be expected. After all, the two teams have the largest gulf in terms of Transfermarkt squad value among all teams at the tournament. While Auckland City has a combined market value of just €4.58 million ($5.29 million), Bayern’s total squad value is €903.5 million ($1.04 billion) the fifth highest among all teams at the FIFA Club World Cup.

From the kickoff, there was never any doubt that Bayern was going to dominate the game, storming to a 6-0 halftime lead. Indeed, it took just six minutes for the Rekordmeister to take the lead thanks to a goal by Kingsley Coman. Then Sasha Boey doubled the score (18’) and from there the goals kept on coming: Coman again (22’), Michael Olise (20’ and 45’), and Thomas Müller (43’) secured a comfortable halftime lead.

The result was expected, given that on paper, Auckland City FC is an amateur team with players holding full-time jobs. “We’re realistic,” Auckland City coach Ivan Vicelich said ahead of the game. “We’re up against one of the best teams in the world and the favorites to win the tournament.”

With the win secured, Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany opted to experiment a bit for the second half, handing 17-year-old playmaker Lennart Karl his first team debut. Karl came on for Olise. Also, on was Serge Gnaby from Coman. The two Frenchmen were on a hat-trick, but it wasn’t meant to be today.

Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL

Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL—-Ousmane Dembélé starred with a brace as Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, sealing a dominant 4-0 aggregate win to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

The French forward proved decisive on the night, scoring twice to end Liverpool’s European campaign and send the defending champions into the last four for a third consecutive season.

Liverpool’s night was further marred by a serious injury to Hugo Ekitiké, who was forced off in the first half with what appeared to be a severe leg issue, raising concerns over his availability for the remainder of the season.

Manager Arne Slot made bold selection calls, leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench initially, though the forward was introduced early following Ekitiké’s injury and nearly made an instant impact.

Despite flashes of pressure from Liverpool, PSG remained composed and dangerous on the counter. Dembélé broke the deadlock in the second half with a fine curling effort before adding a second in stoppage time from a Bradley Barcola assist.

Liverpool’s hopes of a comeback were also dashed when a penalty awarded for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister was overturned following a VAR review.

The defeat confirms a disappointing end to Liverpool’s European campaign, while PSG continue their title defence and will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Ademola Lookman On Target as Atlético Madrid Edge Barcelona 3-2 on Aggregate to Reach UCL Semi-Finals—-Atlético Madrid booked their place in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals after edging Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate, despite a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their quarter-final clash.

Barcelona made a blistering start at the Metropolitano, with Lamine Yamal opening the scoring early before Ferran Torres doubled their lead inside 24 minutes to level the tie on aggregate.

However, Atlético responded through Ademola Lookman, whose crucial strike restored his side’s aggregate advantage following their 2-0 first-leg win.

Diego Simeone’s men then held firm under intense pressure, with Barcelona’s hopes taking a major hit when Eric García was sent off for bringing down Alexander Sørloth as he raced through on goal.

Despite late attacking changes from coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona were unable to find the third goal needed to force extra time, as Atlético battled through a tense finish.

The result sees Atlético Madrid reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2017, keeping alive their dream of winning the competition for the first time in their history.

They will now face either Arsenal or Sporting CP in the semi-finals.
