Kompany Under Pressure As Bayern Eyes European Breakthrough

By IANS News August 20, 2025 • 15:34 PM View: 388

UEFA Champions League: Before the start of the 2025-26 Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich faces familiar challenges, with its European ambitions under scrutiny.

The German champion has exited the UEFA Champions League in the quarterfinals four times in the past five years, with a semifinal loss to Real Madrid in 2024 also falling short of expectations. Attention now turns to the Champions League draw on August 28, following a difficult transfer window.

Bayern missed out on key transfer targets such as Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade, while losing long-serving players Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman and Mathys Tel. Injuries to Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito further complicate the picture, as per Xinhua.
