Bayern Munich has also denied his final group match successfully. Against Tottenham Hotspur Bayern won after the 7-2 in London and the return match 3: 1 (1: 1). The Munich goals scored Kingsley Coman (14th minute), Thomas Müller (45th) and Philippe Coutinho (64th), for Tottenham Ryan Sessegnon (20th). The Munich have become the first German team to win all six games of the group stage. Already before the match, the Bavarians had been the group first and the Spurs as second-finalists as the first knockout round.

After the 1: 2 in the Bundesliga at Borussia Mönchengladbach Bayern coach Hansi Flick changed his starting grid on five positions. Sun top scorer Robert Lewandowski sat on the bench at kickoff, David Alaba was because of a slight pelvic compression also not in the squad as in the Spurs Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

Coman meets and has to get out injured

After a leisurely start, the game started in the twelfth minute for the first time: Benjamin Pavard ran into the penalty area on the right and forced Spurs goalkeeper Paolo Cazzaniga to a strong defense on the line. Also in the margin of Thiago, the Argentinian was attentive.

Coman was soon on the way, Serge Gnabry moving in from the right wing, and despite several opponents, he was able to pass the decisive pass to the left to Coman, who had his right foot into the far corner (14th minute). The logical consequence Munich superiority in the initial phase.

The fact that a leadership of the German record champion this season - as only experienced in Gladbach - does not mean much, got the fans in the Allianz Arena six minutes later before his eyes. Giovani Lo Celso was not decisively disturbed, while 19-year-old Ryan Sessegnon turned his pass on his Spurs debut for the Spurs with a massive shot from the left (20 ').
