Bayern Munich qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League by beating Union St-Gilloise 2-0 thanks to a double from Harry Kane.
With 18 points (6 wins for 1 loss), Vincent Kompany’s men occupy 2nd place behind Arsenal (21 points) and are sure to finish in one of the first 8 places in the League phase.
Scrambled for 45 minutes, Bayern was able to count on Kane, who scored his 6th and 7th goal in the Champions League this season (52nd and 55th on penalties), before missing a penalty at the end of the match (80th).
Newcastle, for their part, did well by dominating PSV Eindhoven 3-0, which was feverish in defense. The Magpies thus move up to 7th place with 13 points, just like PSG (6th). They are also notably tied with Chelsea (1-0 against Pafos) and FC Barcelona (without Lamine Yamal, suspended), who won 4-2 on the lawn of Slavia Prague. Chelsea barely broke the resistance of the Cypriots of Pafos (1-0). This success, however, propels the Blues into the top-8 before the final day. The fight to be among those who will avoid the round of 16 will be tight in a week.
