Bayern Munich have always been THE team to beat in German football, a reputation earned courtesy of a long history of silverware at the very top level of professional football. However, that same reputation took a beating last season, thanks to the exploits of Xabi Alonso and this Bayer Leverkusen superteam.
Vincent Kompany is here to set the record straight, and he has one hell of a team to do it with. Coming off a week where twenty goals were scored, people expect big things from this Bayern Munich side. Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane have all been on fire this season, while the Pavlović-Kimmich midfield has dealt with all challenges thus far. Still, can they handle Leverkusen? Especially THIS Leverkusen?
It’s Bayern time.
