It is only early days for Vincent Kompany and Bayern Munich, but there can be no denying how well the Belgian manager has the team playing at the moment. Coming off of a season without silverware, Kompany recently explained that he can constantly sense the hunger that’s within the squad — a hunger that is only bolstered by the disappointing previous season where they were ever so close to reaching a Champions League final.

It would be unrealistic to expect Bayern to rout these opponents. But there is pressure to demonstrate inability to take chances and win tighter games is not deep-rooted.

Vincent Kompany has revealed that an illness prevented Jamal Musiala from starting in Bayern Munich ’s Champions League defeat to Aston Villa. The 21-year-old continues to be one of Bayern’s standout performers this season and already has three goals and two assists this term.
