Kompany eyes Bayern Munich to keep winning streak in Champions League

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich will travel to challenge Feyenoord of the Dutch Eredivisie in the seventh round of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League. Bayern Munich coach Kompany said that he hopes Bayern Munich can win the next game and aim to advance to the top 16 of the Champions League with the top 8 results.

In the 6th round of the Champions League, Bayern Munich defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 with goals from Laimer, Muller, Olise and Musiala. After three consecutive wins, Bayern Munich is currently ranked 12th in the standings with 12 points, one point behind Aston Villa, which is in 8th place. This also means that Bayern Munich only needs to maintain its winning streak to have a chance to enter the top 8 and advance to the round of 16.

It is worth mentioning that in the earlier Bundesliga match, Bayern Munich defeated Wolfsburg 3-2 after goals from Goretzka and Oliseh. The four-game winning streak also added more confidence and morale to Kompany's team.

Bayern Munich coach Kompany said: "There are no big or small games, which is why tomorrow's game is extremely important for us."

"I like the new format very much. I don't mean to criticize it, but I don't pay attention to the ranking in the standings. We all know that we only need to win three games to enter the top eight, and win three games will only enter the play-offs. All teams have different plans, and my goal is to win six games."

When talking about the team's lineup status, Kompany said, "We will see tomorrow whether Musiala will start. What is important now is that we see the lineup is gradually being completed. Not all players can be at the same level of physical fitness, but we have an experienced team."
