"We were a bit sloppy with the ball in the first half and didn't have enough energy against the ball. It was clear at half-time that we wanted to come out with more intensity, and we showed that. We scored at the right time, had some bad luck with the red card but also controlled the game a man down. All in all, a good three points."
"It's important we're through to the last 16. We didn't manage that last year, meaning we had a packed February. So, we're proud that we've secured qualification. We've got one game left and want to finish as high up as possible."

Bayern Munich beat Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0 to secure a place in the Champions League last 16 with one group game remaining. Harry Kane scored twice within three minutes after a lacklustre first half, and Kim Min-jae was sent off. Bayern showed greater intensity after the break, controlled the game despite being reduced to ten men, and avoided the extra February fixtures that followed failure to finish in the top eight last season. Aleksandar Pavlovic completed a record 150 passes in the match. Kane has been involved in 32 Champions League goals for Bayern (26 goals, six assists) since 2023-24.
