Bayern Women Fall to Arsenal, Miss Champions League Group Win

A late penalty sealed a 3-2 defeat for Bayern Munich, placing them second in Group C despite advancing to the quarterfinals.

Bayern Munich's women's team lost 3-2 to Arsenal in their final Champions League group stage match, finishing second in Group C.
An early own goal by Glódís Viggósdóttir put Bayern behind before Magdalena Eriksson scored twice to briefly give them the lead.
Arsenal equalized quickly through Alessia Russo and secured the win with an 86th-minute penalty converted by Mariona Caldentey after a handball by Tuva Hansen.
Despite the loss, Bayern had already secured their place in the quarterfinals, which will be drawn on February 7, 2025, in Nyon.
Bayern's women's team has yet to win the Champions League title, unlike fellow German club VfL Wolfsburg, who also advanced as group runners-up.
