One hour until kickoff: We have lineups! Looks like Kompany decided to switch things up again and start Serge Gnabry and Konrad Laimer in place of Kingsley Coman and Rapha Guerreiro. Otherwise, Bayern Munich fields an identical XI. No Sacha Boey on the bench either.
After two major defeats out on the road, Bayern Munich are back at the Allianz Arena to get their Champions League campaign back on track.
The things is, Portuguese teams are no pushovers (as Manchester City found out) and Vincent Kompany has yet to register a single win against major opposition in his tenure so far as coach. The defense remains the major concern, with Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano prone to errors and a high line that has proven weak to counterattacks.
Kompany needs to prove himself and also redeem his brand of football. He has a solid squad to call upon, without any major absentees. Can he do it?
It’s Bayern time.
