Dive into Coral's post-match review of FC Bayern München 4-0 Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday, 22 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

FC Bayern München delivered a commanding performance against Club Brugge, securing a 4-0 victory at home. The match saw Bayern extend their winning streak, following a 5-1 win against Pafos FC in their previous outing. The result was not surprising given Bayern's form and dominance in possession, but the margin of victory highlighted their clinical finishing. Key moments included early goals that set the tone for the match, showcasing Bayern's ability to capitalise on their opportunities.

Club Brugge, on the other hand, struggled to find their footing after a 1-2 loss to Atalanta in their last game. The defeat against Bayern further compounded their challenges, leaving them at the bottom of their recent form. Despite the scoreline, Club Brugge's effort was evident, but Bayern's relentless attack proved too much to handle. The match underlined the gap between the two teams, with Bayern's players, particularly in attack, standing out.

The statistics from the match reflect Bayern's dominance, with 64% possession compared to Club Brugge's 36%. Bayern's control of the game was further evidenced by their nine corners to Club Brugge's single corner, indicating their sustained pressure. The successful dribbles percentage was also higher for Bayern at 60%, showcasing their ability to navigate through Club Brugge's defence. The only yellow card of the match was shown to a Bayern player, suggesting a relatively disciplined game despite the intensity.

The match was defined by Bayern's early goals, with the first coming in the 5th minute, setting an aggressive tone. Subsequent goals in the 14th and 34th minutes further solidified Bayern's lead, demonstrating their efficiency in front of goal. The final goal in the 79th minute capped off a comprehensive victory, leaving no doubt about the outcome. These key moments not only secured the win but also demoralised Club Brugge, making a comeback highly unlikely.

The timing of the goals was crucial, as they came at intervals that disrupted any potential momentum Club Brugge might have built. The early strikes put Bayern in a commanding position, while the third goal before halftime ensured they went into the break with a comfortable lead. The late goal in the 79th minute was the icing on the cake, reinforcing Bayern's superiority throughout the match.

Bayern lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Manuel Neuer in goal and a backline of Raphaël Guerreiro, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, and Konrad Laimer. The midfield was anchored by Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic, with Michael Olise, Lennart Karl, and Luis Díaz supporting striker Harry Kane. The lineup was as expected, with no major surprises, and the players executed their roles effectively. Substitutions were made, but the starting XI laid the foundation for the victory, with key contributions from the attacking players.

Club Brugge opted for a 4-1-4-1 formation, with Nordin Jackers in goal and a defence consisting of Kyriani Sabbe, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, and Bjorn Meijer. Aleksandar Stanković played as the lone holding midfielder, with Carlos Forbs, Lynnt Audoor, Hans Vanaken, and Christos Tzolis in midfield, and Nicolò Tresoldi up front. The lineup showed no significant surprises, but the team struggled to cope with Bayern's intensity. Substitutions were made, but the starting lineup faced the brunt of Bayern's attack.

Luis Díaz is Coral's Man of the Match, and his performance was pivotal in Bayern's victory. Scoring one goal and creating one big chance, Díaz's contribution was significant. His three key passes further highlight his role in Bayern's attacking play, making him a standout performer in the match.
