Bayern Munich left Slovan Bratislava 3-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, but still missed a top-thought finish.
Match -Events
Vincent Kompany's side had already attached a play-off place prior to the game, but other results did not go on their way, which means that they end in the 12th.
Bayern dominated at the beginning and their early edition brought off his fruit after just eight minutes, Joshua Kimmich drives a cross in the box for the unmarked Thomas Muller to nod in.
However, they needed a big win, but they did not succeed in making a opportunities in goals before the break, and had to wait until the 63rd minute for a new breakthrough.
Harry Kane, who had come close in the first half, scored with a different header. Jamal Musiala immediately made an impact after the couch came, with his bent cross fell to the Englishman.
Leroy Sane then hit the woodwork before Kingsley Coman sealed the victory six minutes before the end and turned the rebound of Serge Gnabry's stored strike.
However, they would be denied a clean slate late, because Slovan already pulled related Slovan by Marko Tolic.

Data Debrief: Home Comfort
Although Kompany will be happy with the victory, it was not entirely the result they would have hoped for, because they are now confronted with a two-legged play-off draw against Celtic or Manchester City.
However, this victory expanded their undefeated home in the Champions League. They have not lost any of their last 34 games in the competition in the Allianz Arena in the Group/League phase – the longest run ever in the history of the competition.
Bayern was determined to walk away with a victory. They had 35 shots – their highest total in the competition this season – with seven of those who were classified as 'big' opportunities. They also created 4.08 expected goals (XG) to the 1.08 from Slovan.
