European champions Bayern Munich went on to set some new records to their name when they clinched the FIFA Club World Cup title on Thursday. The Bavarians defeated Mexican outfit Tigres UANL 1-0 to win every possible title since their successful campaign last season. A lot of credit goes to manager Hansi Flick, who succeeded in turning the Bavarians' campaign for the better after being appointed mid-season, following Niko Kovac's exit in November 2019.

Bayern Munich vs Tigres: Benjamin Pavard guides Bavarians to Club World Cup glory
Bayern Munich and Tigres UANL put up scintillating performances in the first half of the final. But neither of the sides could bag the opener, with an action-packed second half in the waiting. And Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard rose to the occasion to put his side in the front.
Pavard struck the ball in an open net after Robert Lewandowski's attempted shot previously succeeded in drawing away the goalkeeper from between the sticks. Interestingly, Tigres UANl could manage just one shot on target throughout the game. And the European champions went on to defend their one-goal lead throughout the course of the second half, to win their sixth title since the previous season.
