Injury-Hit Bayern Munich Determined to Extend Winning Run in Champions League Against Galatasaray

Injuries deplete the squad significantly, missing key players like Upamecano, Guerreiro, and Goretzka, as Bayern Munich embark on extending their record unbeaten run in Group A of the Champions League.

  • Despite battling a number of injuries and missing key players including Upamecano, Guerreiro, and Goretzka, Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel remains confident in the team's ability to extend their Champions League group-stage win-streak.
  • Bayern have a daunting record of 15 consecutive wins in the UCL group stages, and an unbeaten run of 36 matches overall consisting of 33 wins and three draws.
  • Galatasaray, currently in second place in Group A with four points, is on a six-game winning streak after defeating city rival Besiktas 2-1 with two goals from Argentine forward Mauro Icardi.
  • Defender Noussair Mazraoui, who was injured on international duty and was involved in social media controversy regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict, is expected to be fit for the game against Galatasaray.
  • Tuchel, who has criticized the club's offseason transfer dealings for leaving the team with limited options, said that despite the depleted squad, the plan to beat Galatasaray and remain top of Group A remains unchanged.
