Bayern Munich's World Cup final streak ends as England and France exit

Bayern Munich's remarkable streak of having a player in every World Cup final since 1982 is over, as neither England nor France advanced past the semifinals in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. England lost to Argentina, while France was eliminated by Spain. With players like Harry Kane and Dayot Upamecano out of the tournament, Bayern Munich will not have representation in the final for the first time in four decades. This marks a significant moment, highlighting the decline of key national teams that historically featured Bayern players. The 2026 final will see Spain face Argentina.
