From the source

Bayern Munich boosted their chances of finishing in the top eight of the Champions League after they dispatched Atletico Madrid 2-0. It was a composed performance from the German giants despite missing several players through injury and head coach Vincent Kompany recovering from his collapse.

The Bavarians head to Mainz, a team whose home record has been torrid. No wins at home since March 2026 is a damning stat for a team considered as one of the mainstays of the Bundesliga.

Unfortunately for them, they’re hosting the only undefeated team in the whole of Europe. SBN App: Engage with match threads on Bavarian Football Works from your phone with the new SB Nation app.
