Benfica vs Bayern Munich: How to watch FIFA Club World Cup clash - Live stream, venue, and start time
Benfica
will take on
Bayern Munich
in a high-stakes Group C Club World Cup finale at the
Bank of America Stadium
in North Carolina on Tuesday, aiming to end a long-standing winless run against the German giants.
Bayern, already through to the next round with two wins from two, lead the group and need only a draw to finish top. Benfica, managed by former Wolves boss Bruno Lage, sit second after a 2-2 draw with Boca Juniors and a commanding 6-0 victory over Auckland City.
The matchup carries added weight given Benfica's historical record against Bayern - they have never beaten the Bundesliga powerhouse in 13 previous meetings across European competition.
With progression secured, Bayern may rotate their squad, but topping the group remains the goal.

Leipzig hires Ole Werner as coach after he refused to sign extension at Bremen
Jun 24, 2025 06:21 PM IST LEIPZIG, Germany — Leipzig hired Ole Werner as coach on Tuesday, ending a long tangle with his former club Werder Bremen over his availability. HT Image The 37-year-old Werner signed a two-year contract to the end of the 2026-27 season, Leipzig said on its website. Werner was fired by Bremen in May once the season ended because he refused to extend his contract with the Bundesliga club. It had another year to run. Werner said he had reached a 'certain point' at the club after leading it to promotion in 2022 and overseeing steady improvement despite limited resources. Despite being dismissed as coach, Werner remained contracted to Bremen. Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schäfer and Bremen counterpart Clemens Fritz needed long negotiations before finally agreeing on a reported transfer fee of 2 million euros to release Werner. Assistants Patrick Kohlmann and Tom Cichon are joining him. 'We're convinced that he's ready for the next step and are very much looking forward to working with him to push ahead with our squad planning,' Schäfer said. Werner, who led Bremen to eighth place in the Bundesliga last season, will be expected to lead Leipzig back to the Champions League after it missed out on European qualification altogether for the first time since its promotion in 2016. Leipzig only finished seventh last season despite far greater resources than Bremen. 'Both sides share the same ideas about how we want to play and work,' Werner said. 'That made the decision to take this next step together an easy one for me.' soccer: /hub/soccer This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Enrique criticises pitches at FIFA Club World Cup, says ball is ‘jumping like a rabbit'
Seattle: Paris Saint Germain (PSG) head coach Luis Enrique has criticised the state of pitches at the ongoing FIFA World Cup being hosted in the United States of America saying the ball is 'bouncing like a rabbit'. PSG cruised to a 2-0 victory past home side Seattle Sounders FC to book their place in the Round of 16 at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Despite the win, the Spaniard criticised the state of the pitch at the Lumen Field. "I wouldn't imagine a NBA court full of holes. What I really care about is the state of the field of play, and I say this on the day we've won. The ball bounces almost like if it were jumping around like a rabbit,' Enrique was quoted as saying by BBC Sport. Goals in each half from Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Achraf Hakimi secured maximum points for the European champions, who have progressed as Group B winners ahead of second-placed Botafogo. "I'm pleased, of course. It's not easy to play this type of match. The condition of the pitch isn't the same as what we are used to in Europe. We have to know how to manage that and the pace, but I think we were better than them and deserved to win this game. This is a competition where you have to be ready to go to Atlanta, Philadelphia or even elsewhere. We plan to go as far as possible and I believe the players are ready. The real competition starts now, and it will be very tough. After each match, we have to see if we qualify or not. We're motivated,' added Enrique. The United States is also the venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, alongside Canada and Mexico, and will need to certainly level up the state and quality of the pitches ahead of the ultimate tournament in international football. Real Madrid and England midfielder Jude Bellingham, who won the Player of the Match award in the 3-1 win over Pachuca, also criticised the pitches and hopes they will work on them ahead of the World Cup. 'The pitches aren't great, honestly mate, I won't say really that it's hell for one (team). It's the same for everyone. I'm only saying because you asked me but the pitches aren't great at all.' 'It holds up the ball, the way the body balances, it's tough on knees as well. Hopefully, they'll look into that going into the World Cup next year. It's important we protect the players and give those fans watching a spectacle and giving them great games as well,' said Bellingham to Sky Sports.
