Final score: Bayern Munich 1-0 Tigres UANL- Bayern came into this game missing three key players, one of which should have been the very reason why this game should not have been played at all. - Purely looking at the stats will not show what this game really was: a close battle from beginning to the end- The buildup to the game winning goal has a lot of controversy, including a close offside decision and a potentially blown handball from the video assistant referee. - At the end of it all, Bayern walks away with their sixth title in six attempts.
