Bayern Munich secured second place in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League league phase after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven on January 28, 2026. The win capped off an impressive European run in which Bayern recorded seven wins from eight matches, highlighting their consistency and resilience.

After the match, striker Harry Kane praised the team’s determination, noting that Bayern faced one of the toughest schedules in the competition. They played challenging away matches against Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, while also hosting strong sides like Chelsea. According to Kane, overcoming these obstacles showed the character and unity of the squad.

With the expanded Champions League format increasing the number of matches from six to eight in the league phase, Bayern had to carefully manage fitness, injuries, and squad rotation. Head coach Vincent Kompany made several changes for the PSV match, allowing young players Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof to gain experience, while goalkeeper Jonas Urbig made a key start.

Returning players Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies continued their recovery, and Harry Kane scored an important goal after coming on as a substitute. Overall, Bayern displayed depth, balance, and confidence, positioning themselves strongly for the knockout stages and future domestic competitions.
