Overview
- Starting at left back in the 3–0 win over Bayer Leverkusen, Bischof assisted Serge Gnabry’s opener and posted 102 touches with roughly 80% of duels won.
- Bischof says the switch is about getting game time and adds that the plan remains for him to play as a defensive midfielder in the future.
- Sporting director Max Eberl stresses Bayern did not sign Bischof as a left back but welcomes his versatility as a benefit to the squad.
- Teammate Jonathan Tah praised Bischof’s performances and described helping coach him through the role on the pitch.
- With Alphonso Davies working back from an ACL injury, Bischof has an opportunity at left back now, and he could start again in the Champions League at PSG as discussion grows about potential DFB consideration if his run continues.
