Its very sad that Pavlovic got again injured as he was on a good coming back and getting back to his performance.
How he got injured was just unlucky and hopefully he will be recover soon and can come back even stronger then.
Vicente Kompany has enough players for his position so i guess there will be no problem.

This week we will watch the match between Leipzig vs Freiburg which will be held at Leipzig's home ground, last season we can see that Freiburg did not perform too well so that they finished in 10th place in the standings while in the previous two seasons they performed quite well by finishing in the top five of the standings, and we can see that this season they are in 3rd place in the standings, meaning that now they are improving again and of course on the one hand Freiburg will not make the match easy for Leipzig even though they are playing away. But overall of course I think Leipzig has a greater chance in this match, and now they have the same points as Bayern Munich as the leader of the standings, meaning of course Marco Rose will maximize his squad's performance to secure this match with full points so that they can occupy the top position in the standings even though it may only be for a while.

The fact that the match was in Spain confused me. Because in the match played in Barcelona in Spain, the Spanish team will have an advantage. Because they do not lose matches easily on their home field with the advantage of the crowd. Of course, Bayern Munich is a very tough team, but we all know how well Barcelona has been doing this year. They have really quality players. It is a match that both teams can win, but it seems to me that Barcelona will have a higher chance of winning because it will be played in Spain.

As a football player, coach Kompany was in a team that had experienced many injuries. That's why Manchester City's coach must have thought of a few players instead of the injured Pavlovic. Bayern Munich has a very large squad quality. The rotation players are also very high quality. That's why it won't be difficult. Of course, it would have been great if the young player hadn't been injured, but now is the time to think about alternatives.

Yesterday we saw a surprising result from the Madrid vs Dortmund match, so I think it is indeed difficult for us to predict the match between Barcelona and Munich also later, the two teams has often met in the Champions League and it is undeniable if they often give us quite surprising match results, in the last few seasons Munich has dominated the match and victory over Barcelona,  But indeed as you said if this season is very different from the previous season, so indeed Kompany and Munich cannot rely on head to head to consider themselves better than from Barcelona, Barcelona this season has developed very rapidly and even the strategy and style of play applied by Hansi Flick currently makes Barcelona a very productive team in La Liga, so indeed Munich must be wary of Lewandowski and Friends sharpness Later

I think in this case Barcelona is a little bit superior because they play at home, besides that however Hansi Flick better experience than Kompany can of course be a significant difference in the match, we also can't forget how Lewandowski will be the spearhead for destroying his former club and I think Lewandowski certainly knows Munich weaknesses,  Just like you, I also predict that the result of the match will probably be a draw or one of the teams will win with a narrow score in the match.

We've seen Kompany's performance improve with ease at Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich has started well in the Bundesliga. But in the last few matches we have seen somewhat erratic and poor performances from Munich. But Munich have a strong squad.

In this match of Munich vs Barcelona, ​​I consider Barcelona as the favorite. Munich's squad is strong. However, Kompany has less experience on the Champions League platform than Hansi Flick. Munich was also defeated in the last match of the Champions League. Hansi Flick, on the other hand, knows Munich's gameplay very well. For these reasons, I consider the Barcelona team as the favorite.

This is a very sad news for Bayern Munich and the player himself. No club is ever happy to lose their top talents to injuries. When players who are helping the club win matches get injured, it totally affects the team performances. Unless it is a club that have enough squad dept, but if they don't it will be worse for them especially if the injury is long term. The rate at which players are getting injured now is too much. It wasn't this bad before and I think it's because of the many games that these players are made to play this time around. I wish Pavlović speedy recovery. This news will definitely be a headache for Vicente Kompany, but as every good coach out there, I'm sure he will find a way to navigate through this.

I wonder what would be worse, losing 3:0 straight up without really having a chance or dominating the first half against an absolute top team and then absolutely get obliterated in the 2nd half and give it away 0:5.
Not an easy game for every BVB supporter, we really don't have it easy these days. I mean I expected something like this result, a loss with 2-4 goals difference, but I didn't expect it to go down THAT way. 

You bring yourself in a position to score a major upset and maybe finally turn your season around and then ..... you just make it worse. I wonder if it's a question of mentality for Dortmund or if Real is just so good and shifts 3 gears up in the 2nd half. Guess it's a mix of both, there is no other explanation.
If I lead 2:0 in Madrid and come out of the changing rooms for the 2nd half I have only 1 game plan, put everybody in and around the box, defend like crazy and then maybe try to make a quick counter attack to make the 3:0 dagger and finalize the game. The way they did it is a good example of how to do everything wrong. 

That is why the depth of the squad is very important in this condition so the coach has many alternatives when they want to rotate because there are injured players. Kompany is demanded to look for alternatives in this condition and even though the choice is not much I believe he has gotten an overview of the change in the position. Bayern Munich will face a big match in the Champions League and maybe Kompany must show the level of difference in the match.

He showed a good game and the most important thing was able to work with teammates. After recovering from injury, we may see how his abilities and age are still young enough to give great hope for these players.

If you look at both teams currently at the same level, and I think the meeting between Barcelona and Munich will also be different from the previous one when Munich won in Barcelona, ​​​​but I think in this match both coaches are in their momentum and so are their players, both playing with goals and also in terms of defense they are not too bad, currently their position in the Champions League is also close with both 3 points from 2 matches, and this is a fight for points and I think both will play aggressively to get the first goal. However, in this match the feeling will be balanced because both are currently in good form and also both need points so I think a draw will happen in Barcelona.

This is something that is highly anticipated, Kane not only being a goal scorer for Bayern Munich and becoming the top scorer again in the Bundesliga, but also really feeling lifting the Bundesliga trophy as he has always wanted since before moving to Bayern Munich. He is a great player, and it will be even more complete when he can actually lift a trophy with his current club.

Bad things happened to Dortmund this time, again, Dortmund could not beat the La Liga giant, even though they were already ahead in the first half. But they forgot who their opponent was, they finally got hit by an epic comeback from Real Madrid and ended up losing very embarrassingly and painfully 5-2.

Dortmund must learn again from this scheme and what happens this today match. None is save until the match really ended.

Not when Barcelona and Bayern play. This is probably the most one-sided confrontation in top-level football - Bayern regularly smashes Barcelona and the score 3-0 in favor of the German club is commonplace. This year, obviously, everything could be different due to the fact that Bayern is in decline, on the other hand, despite temporary successes, Barcelona is also far from its former level.

The 20-year-old young talent may not be able to play during his injury, but I am sure he will play very well after he recovers from his injury. Kompany is in a weak position during this 6-week period and he does not have many alternatives. In this case, a difficult situation arises for Bayern because their main players will not be in the team and the substitutes may not be able to fill that gap sufficiently.

However, Jamal Musiala already injured while playing in the Champions League against Aston Villa, and thus the injury suffered by Jamal Musiala did not occur in the match against Stuttgart but in the match against Aston Villa where Bayern Munich lost 1-0 in that match. Because in fact,after that match Jamal Musiala was absent but evenso, Bayern Munich was still able to win big against Stuttgart with a score of 4-0 without Jamal Musiala. Thus, I think Bayern Munich will still  be able to have a good performance even though some of their key players are injured, because basically Bayern Munich still has otherplayers who can also be relied on to be able to play well, and as long as Kane is still fit, then it will be good for Bayern Munich's productivity  of course.

At this moment Barcelona and Bayern Munich are two teams in good position. Munich's performance last season was erratic. But Kompany's help has stabilized Bayern Munich's overall performance. Bayern Munich is able to perform quite well now. Although the team was defeated in their final Champions League match, their overall performance was strong.

Both Barcelona and Munich have weaknesses within the squad. Bayern Munich is very strong but let's not forget that Bayern Munich lost the Champions League last match against Aston Villa. On the other hand, Barcelona lost their Champions League opener against Monaco. So I'd say both teams have weaknesses. On the field, the team whose match strategy is better and the players can play better will win.

Bayern Munich defeated Stuttgart comfortably, although some doubted their performance because Musiala missed the match and others suggested they wouldn't win because they were not going to risk their players because of the Champions League match against Barcelona, however, Aleksandar sustained an injury against Stuttgart and will be absent for a few weeks. With the goal difference over Leipzig; Bayern Munich was able to return to the top of the league, so they had to be happy with the victory.

However, do you think an absence of these players will have an impact on Bayern Munich performance? I'm not sure how it will affect their performance since Aleksandar was injured in the first 8 minutes of the match against Stuttgart, which Bayern Munich easily won. I agree that Barcelona is currently in outstanding form; as they have failed to draw or lose a league game this season. But we shouldn't underestimate Bayern Munich because they bought a lot of players during the transfer window, and I'm confident that they can prevent Barcelona forwards from scoring.

Vincent Kompany built a Bayern that either destroys their opponent, or they end up losing/tie against teams that are expected to be easy wins. I do not understand why they are going this way, I have no idea why they have this type of results so far, the inconsistency seems like it's something that is very big issue for them. Plus, I would have expected them to have much more hunger towards winning the league this season, they lost it last year after so many years of winning it, which meant that they would look like they would be doing much better, but looking at the situation right now, we can't really consider the situation any differently since they are not dominating all that much.

After such a season, I expected them to have these type of 4-0 wins in all games, and they are not, they are still having shocking results and not that great at the league neither. The lack of ambition they are showing is disappointing and didn't expected from them.

Munich has lost some important players but I think it should not make us underestimate Munich against Barcelona later, injuries to key players such as Musiala and Pavlovic can indeed be a big challenge for the kompany, but with the depth of the squad they have of course kompany will be able to rotate and also maintain the stability of the team by playing Paulinha or Gorezka in the match later,  while the losing of Musiala is still able to be covered by Muller at the moment, to be honest although the absence of these players will affect the dynamics and strategy from munich game, I think it will not reduce their performance and chances to still be able to give fierce resistance to Barcelona later, but indeed the depth of the squad is of course still not enough to be able to beat Barcelona,  Because Kompany also needs an effective strategy to be able to destroy the strategy and game from of Hansi Flick.

I agree with you. Both are great strikers and are still productive even though they are in their 30s. Both have great finishing ability and I don't think we need to compare them. Lewi played in Munich's glory days and managed to dominate the Bundesliga. Kane is unlucky because currently Munich does not only have Dortmund as their rival. RB Leipzig and Leverkusen are also solid and even Munich and Kane failed to win a trophy last season. Maybe the only difference between the two is that Lewandowski has a trophy with Munich. I hope Kane will be dominant this season and can get the first trophy in his career.

Pavlovic injury is a big loss for Bayern Munich because he is one of Vincent Kompany mainstay players this season. After securing victory over VfB Stuttgart, Bayern Munich will play a big match against Barcelona in the Champions League on Matchday 3. Pavlovic injury adds to Bayern Munich long list of injured players, Jamal Musiala, Sacha Boey, Tarek Buchmann, Hiroki Ito and Josip Stanisic already out with injuries. Kompany must be more observant in utilizing the players currently available to maintain his performance when facing Barcelona who are performing brilliantly this season.
