The Eredivisie side moved a point ahead of their opponents with a sensational victory, now level on points with eigh🌺th-placed Bayer Leverkusen and poised to capitalise on any slip-ups next week.
Bayern could have moved into the top eight with victory but now face an uphill battle to overhaul a number of teams between themselves꧋ and a last-16 place.
Vincent Kompany's men will feel they should have come away from De Kuip with som🗹ething after peppering the home goal, yet Santi༒ago Gimenez's first-half double had Feyenoord in control.
Substitute Ayase Ue🐻da put the game beyond doubt in the 89th minute.
F𒀰eyenoord are ahead of matchday eight opponents Lille on goalsಞ scored, thanks to Ueda's strike, while Bayern at least have a straightforward task on paper at home to pointless Slovan Bratislava.
Data debrief: Bayern thwarted by Bijlow
This one-sided scoreline was at complete odds with the rest of the numbers from a fruꦜstrating match for Bayern.
They had 80% of the possession and attempted 30 shots worth 2.8 expected goa🧸ls, yet they could not finꦫd the net. Since 2003-04, only two teams have attempted more shots in a Champions League match without scoring.
That outcome was as much due to the brilliance of Justin Bijlow as Bayern's failings, however. While Feyenoord scored with all three of ꦍtheir shots on target, Bijl🌳ow made seven saves to keep Bayern at bay.
