The second team to qualify for the Champions League knockout round.

Following Arsenal, Bayern Munich became the next team to secure a place in the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 season.

Bayern Munich still play very well.

In the early morning of December 10, in the 6th round of the qualifying round, the 3-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon helped Bayern Munich gain 15 points after 6 matches, securing a position in the top 24. Even if they lose both remaining matches of the qualifying round, Bayern Munich cannot fall below 20th place, the safe mark leading straight to the play-off stage to compete for a ticket to the round of 16.

They are now seven points ahead of the 19th-placed team. The remaining two games are now just an opportunity for Bayern to consolidate their top eight position and secure a seeding advantage for the round of 16. The probability of the German club not being in the top eight is also very low.

Under the new format of the Champions League, 36 teams compete in a qualifying round, where the top eight go straight into the round of 16, with places 9 to 24 going into a two-legged play-off, while the bottom 12 are eliminated altogether.

Before Bayern, Arsenal (15 points) became the first team to secure a place in the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League season 2025/26. Although they have not played in the 6th round of matches, even if they lose all 3 remaining matches of the qualifying round, Arsenal cannot drop below 20th place.
