The team led by Vincent Kompany quickly gained the upper hand and was able to manage their efforts in the match, controlling it even when it seemed that Flamengo, with plenty of talent, could complicate things. They struck at the right moments and deservedly won.

These were the 3️⃣ protagonists of the duel between Flamengo and Bayern Munich.

Erick Pulgar

The Chilean midfielder was a protagonist, but for all the wrong reasons.

He headed a corner kick into his own goalpost, and later didn't play well, having the bad luck of deflecting Leon Goretzka's shot that became Bayern's third goal. He also kicked Harry Kane, injuring his own foot in the process. He was substituted before halftime.

Manuel Neuer

The German goalkeeper once again made key saves and played with enormous security at the back of the team, playing as a sweeper when the play required it.

Harry Kane

In the first half, Harry Kane scored with his left foot, his 'bad' foot, from outside the box, and a slight deflection put the shot on target. It was the English striker's 40th goal of the 2024/25 season.

Later, in the second half, when Flamengo was pushing, he received the ball near the opponent's goal, where he rarely fails. This time he scored with his right foot, and it was his 41st goal. A brace and a standout performance.
