Despite a slump: Kompany is eager for the decisive weeks at FC Bayern

For FC Bayern, a pivotal phase of the season begins on Saturday evening. With the top Bundesliga matchup against RB Leipzig, the German record champions are kicking off a challenging stretch of weeks.

In addition to the Saxons, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, and Atlético Madrid, among others, await Vincent Kompany’s team. The Bayern coach sees this primarily as a great opportunity.

Yet this demanding schedule comes at a particularly inopportune time. Following a 2-2 draw against FC Augsburg and a 3-3 tie at Viking Stavanger, the Munich side has recently suffered two setbacks in a row.
