FC Bayern is playing Borussia Dortmund today at the Allianz Arena, with Minjae Kim starting in place of Jonathan Tah in the defensive lineup, according to FCBinside. Kim is having a strong season and is being chosen over Tah for this high-profile game. Tah has had some rough patches recently and wasn't consistently in good form. The decision to start Kim was made just before the match.

Aaron Danks, Kompany's representative, explained that the decision to start Kim wasn't purely sporting, but about freshness, as reported by FCBinside. Kim sat out the last game, making him fresher than Tah, who had played recently. Both players are trusted and in good form. The team expects to face many counterattacks from BVB and values having a clear head and fresh legs.

Danks also discussed the team's plan to break down BVB's strong defense, stating they haven't come up with anything special, but will put their top players in the best positions, as per FCBinside. The team is expected to be attacking, and Joshua Kimmich is back in the lineup after a death in his family, and is ready to play.
