Background
Bayern Munich reached their second Club World Cup Final in two tournament appearances, having done so in 2013, which they won against Raja Casablanca. Overall, it was their fourth club world championship final, having won their Intercontinental Cup in 1976 and 2001.{{cite web |last1=Magnani |first1=Loris |last2=Stokkermans |first2=Karel |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablest/toyota.html |title=Intercontinental Club Cup |work=RSSSF |date=17 September 2020 |access-date=11 February 2021}} Bayern Munich were seeking their sixth title in a year, having won the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and UEFA Champions League in the 2019–20 season, followed by the UEFA Super Cup and DFL-Supercup so far in the 2020–21 campaign. Therefore, a victory would see become the second team to win a sextuple, consisting of a continental treble (domestic league, domestic cup and continental competition), followed by the subsequent domestic and continental super cups and FIFA Club World Cup in the following season. This feat had only previously been achieved by Barcelona in 2009 (end of the 2008–09 season and start of the 2009–10 season).{{cite news |url=https://www.fifa.com/clubworldcup/news/lewandowski-bayern-can-complete-one-of-football-s-biggest-achievements |title=Lewandowski: Bayern can complete one of football's biggest achievements |work=FIFA |date=7 February 2021 |access-date=11 February 2021}}
Tigres UANL became the first side from CONCACAF to reach the final of the Club World Cup. They were making their debut appearance in the competition, having qualified by winning their first CONCACAF Champions League title in 2020.{{cite web |last1=Leme de Arruda |first1=Marcelo |last2=Di Maggio |first2=Roberto |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesf/fifawcc.html |title=FIFA Club World Cup |website=RSSSF |date=10 January 2020 |access-date=7 February 2021}}

Match
=Summary=
In the 59th minute, Benjamin Pavard got the only goal of the game when he shot into an empty net from six yards out after the ball came to him when Robert Lewandowski challenged for a ball in the air with Tigres UANL goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán. The goal was reviewed by VAR for an offside before eventually being awarded.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/feb/11/bayern-beat-tigres-in-club-world-cup-final-to-earn-sixth-trophy-in-nine-months|title=Bayern beat Tigres in Club World Cup final to earn sixth trophy in nine months|date=11 February 2021|work=Guardian|accessdate=10 February 2022}}
