After 13 matches without a win against Bayern, Benfica finally showed some teeth and shocked the German champions with a 1-0 victory! Yes, you read that right – Bayern suffered their first-ever defeat in FIFA Club World Cup history, and Benfica topped the group to advance to the knockout stage! While Bayern made a whopping eight changes to their starting lineup and looked like they were just messing around, Benfica pressed hard and capitalized on every chance, thanks to the phenomenal goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin who saved his team multiple times. Now they likely face Chelsea, while Bayern will play Flamengo. So, who’s the real champion here? Comment, argue, and don’t hold back – is this the beginning of the end for Bayern’s dominance or just a bad day for the Germans?
