Bayern Munich Seeks Champions League Redemption Against Club Brugge

On October 22nd, 2025, Bayern Munich will host Belgian club Club Brugge in a UEFA Champions League group stage match. This will be the third meeting between the two sides, with Bayern having won 1-0 at home and drawn 1-1 in Belgium during the 2005-06 Champions League group stage.

Bayern Munich have a strong record against Belgian teams at home, winning all five of their previous European Cup/Champions League matches against Belgian sides by an aggregate score of 12-1. The only Belgian team to score away at Bayern was Anderlecht, who won 2-1 in the UEFA Cup in March 2008.

Bayern's star striker Harry Kane has been in impressive form since joining the club, scoring 23 goals and providing 6 assists in the Champions League. If he plays in this match, he will have been directly involved in more goals in the competition than any other player since his debut in September 2023.

Additionally, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is set to make his 152nd Champions League appearance, moving him into the top five appearance makers in the competition's history. If Bayern win, Neuer will also overtake Iker Casillas for the most Champions League victories by a goalkeeper, with 102 wins.

Club Brugge will be looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat against Atalanta in their previous Champions League match, where they conceded a late goal. However, the Belgian side have not lost consecutive matches in the Champions League group stage since December 2021.
