FC Bayern claimed victory over Boca Juniors in a fierce 2:1 encounter at the Club World Cup, moving them closer to the round of 16. Despite dominating the game, Bayern showed weakness, and a potential injury to Jamal Musiala has left fans and teammates worried.
With defeating Auckland 10:0 in their opening match, Bayern entered the battle against Boca brimming with confidence. Harry Kane put FCB ahead at the 18th minute, capitalizing on a fierce push in the penalty area. A heated atmosphere filled the Hard Rock Stadium, culminating in a disputed equalizer by Miguel Merentiel at the 66th minute. However, Michael Olise silenced the passionate Argentine fans with a winning counterattack at the 84th minute.
"We delivered an excellent performance," beamed Kane on DAZN. "We were extremely motivated, but should have been ahead by more in the first half." He acknowledged his personal goal but emphasized the team's achievement of advancing to the round of 16.
Injury damage: Musiala's departure
However, a significant blow came just before the end when substitution Jamal Musiala went down injured. Musiala, who had recently recovered from a prolonged absence before the tournament, left the pitch accompanied by two team officials, his expression grim. Joshua Kimmich comforted the national player, gently stroking his head.
The football community remains silent on the current status of Musiala's injury, with no official updates or statements available at the time of writing. Fans are left holding their breath, waiting to see if the young star will be available for the upcoming fixtures.
Head coach Manuel Neuer and the team have been conscious of the tactics used by their opponents to destabilize their performance. They maintained focus, refusing to be provoked. In the battle against Benfica Lisbon, which is still to be played, they aim to secure the top spot in their group and progress confidently to the knockout stage.
A potential opponent in the round of 16 could be Chelsea, Flamengo, or Tunis. Bayern has yet to learn who they'll face as they prepare for the upcoming encounter.
