Bayern’s 10-for-10 Start Under Kompany Earns Praise, Prompts Depth Concerns

A quick-scoring, possession-heavy plan now defines Bayern’s play, with load management viewed as the next hurdle.

Overview

  • Saturday’s 3–0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt completed ten straight victories in all competitions, making Bayern the first club in Europe’s top five leagues to open with ten wins and giving them 25 league goals after six matches.
  • Sporting director Max Eberl called the appointment of Vincent Kompany 16 months ago a decisive success, praising his fit, intelligence and ability to transmit his ideas to the squad.
  • Stefan Effenberg credits a clear shift to fast starts followed by game control and defensive focus, noting Bayern pair the league’s highest possession with the top running distance at an average of 122.7 km.
  • Pep Guardiola publicly lauded Kompany and suggested he could manage Manchester City in the future, reflecting the wider European attention on Bayern’s form.
  • Analysts caution that a lean squad could face a fatigue spell in the coming months, making rotation critical, with only Harry Kane and Luis Díaz named in every starting XI so far.
