First defeat in the Champions League: FC Bayern’s footballers say goodbye to the winter break with a defeat. The German champions narrowly lost at Ajax Amsterdam and now have to worry about moving forward.
The FC Bayern footballers suffered a setback in the Champions League. After the setback in the Bundesliga with the draw at 1. FC Nürnberg (1:1), the German champions lost 0:1 (0:1) at Ajax Amsterdam. The Munich team had to give up their lead in Group C.
In fact, they even fell back to third place because Paris St. Germain won 3-1 (1-0) at AS Roma. For coach Alexander Straus’s team it was the first defeat since the 0:5 in the cup semi-final against VfL Wolfsburg last April.
In an intense encounter at the Johan Cruijff Arena, Romee Leuchter scored the goal for the Dutch champions shortly before half-time (44′). The lead was not undeserved at this point. The hosts had more and better chances. The Munich team repeatedly presented their attacks through Giuila Gwinn, who was new to the team after the draw in the Bundesliga. However, this did not pose any serious danger.
After goalkeeper Maria Luisa Grohs saved the Munich team from falling behind (50′), the guests pushed for the equalizer with increasing determination. However, all attempts were unsuccessful, there was a lack of precision in the finish. Amsterdam’s goalkeeper Regina van Eijk also showed a good performance.
