Overview
- Bayern’s forwards have latitude to choose their positions, with Harry Kane free to stay in the box or drop deeper against compact defenses.
- Kompany sets one non‑negotiable in the final third: two Bayern players must be in the penalty area when attacks take shape.
- Jamal Musiala returns from a serious left‑leg injury and is available as a candidate for a brief substitute appearance.
- The coach keeps his attacking selection for Saturday’s rematch with RB Leipzig open after Bayern’s 6–0 win in the first meeting.
- He anticipates an intense game against an offensively strong Leipzig and notes differing interpretations of roles by Kane, Musiala, Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl.
