Before Munich thinks about the next opponent in the Champions League, today Munich must be able to prepare a better strategy to be able to win at Frankfurt's home. Because if Munich can lose in the match they will play today, of course their position will be taken over by Frankfurt, but if the result is a draw, Frankfurt's position may be disturbed by Leipzig if Leipzig can win in today's away match. Now Kompany's task is starting to look harder because in a short time they have to continue to face fairly strong opponents including the next opponent in the Champions League, namely Barcelona which has also had quite good changes in its performance sector.

It is never easy for Barcelona to improve its meeting record with Bayern Munich. Many people are not optimistic about the possibility of Barcelona winning this match, I think Bayern Munich is a scary team for Barcelona. Not only this season, I think Bayern Munich can still be favored.
Even so, Barcelona coached by Hansi Flick may be different from previous coaches including Xavi and others. Hansi Flick has something good to boost the confidence of his players, but Barcelona has suffered 1 defeat in the Champions League so far. Barcelona certainly has the opportunity to maintain a stable performance and also win the match, but it is difficult for them to finish the match with a win. Whatever it is, let's wait for later.
The game actually looks scary for Barcelona and for Bayern Munich because the both has improved compare to last season, and if we will rate based on current performance, Barcelona should be the favorites to win the game because Bayern Munich didn't win any of their last three matches, they all ended in a draw.Even so, Barcelona coached by Hansi Flick may be different from previous coaches including Xavi and others.

For some reasons which include Bayern Munich lost their last Champions League game against Aston Villa, and Hensi Flick has managed Bayern before, Bayern Munich will take the game very serious because they will need the three points tolevel up in the Champions League table; while Barcelona will also wants to win to also get more points to level up too because they lost their opening match to Monaco and they will be in need of any points available.
Generally, I am very sure that the game will be a tough one, and it will yield more than three goals, but I cant really predict the winner because anything can happen and anyone can win among them.
Barcelona's defeat at home was probably to be expected as Bayern Munich have been very good so far. Bayern Munich lost the match against Aston Villa, but that doesn't mean the Company will accept another defeat in the match against Barcelona. Barcelona's advantage is that they play at home, while the team's performance is equally good.

The 3 games ahead of Bayern Munich are all tough games for them. First they will face Frankfurt who are just below them in the Bundesliga standings, second they will face Stuttgart who although on paper are on Bayern Munich's side, but they can give a surprise, and lastly they will face Barcelona in the Champions League. Focusing on their match against Barcelona, actually they have a good record when facing Barcelona, but Barcelona is also in good shape now, so this will be a tough game for both teams. On the other hand Barcelona will also definitely try hard to improve their meeting record with Bayern Munich.

But the timing is quite good now that Barcelona is in excellent shape and Lewandowski is playing very well. It is going to be quite the clash and Bayern has had problems against Aston Villa and now against Frankfurt. It's going to be a 50/50 game and since they play in Barcelona, I think Barca has a small advantage maybe. Anyway, it will all be about using their chances and this is what Barcelona is doing well while Bayern is having problems as could be seen against Aston Villa.

It is not easy to face the team coached by Xabi Alonso or the team coached by Unai Emery because they are both in their best form but that does not mean we can conclude that other clubs will dare to face Bayern Munich because this club is not as weak as you imagine, maybe Bayern Munich lost against Aston Villa and got a draw against Leverkusen but that is not something that will continue to happen when facing other clubs I am sure Vincent Kompany will soon correct his team's mistakes and will start the real match again.
I won’t even think of looking down on a team like Bayern Munich after how they started this season well and have recorded more wins than losses. It is just practical and something natural for teams to lose match and when you see the teams they’ve lost to, it’s also worth considering that there is nothing they were going to do about it and just have to let it be. They must have seen their mistakes and will make necessary corrections to the game when needed, hopefully in their next encounter in the domestic league of the champions league. Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich and Xabi Alonso’s Bayern Leverkusen are doing great individually as a manager, and I won’t look down on them when facing them in any of the league competitions.
And in the UCL this season they are still labeled as strong candidates, in the 3rd match later Munich will visit Barcelona's headquarters which we know is currently the performance of Hansi Flick's squad is also good
This match will be very interesting to watch
Villa's only goal was purely Neuer's fault. He too often left his position. I don't know what the heck he was doing, but it's really bothering me to see that. He should just stand up, then wait in his position instead of always leaving his position.
Bayern Munich did a lot of pressure on this game. But, Villa's keeper excelled and reduced it. They're so damn unfortunate in this game. Their player, Gnabry, got several chances to score, but he was so awful by missed it all.
I believe when it is not your day things will go wrong and even the right ideas won’t work out, probably it was not a good day for Bayern Munich because with all those chances created they should have at least gotten a draw. I am not trying to say Aston Villa were not good on the day they were outstanding, for them to force Neuer into making mistakes is also a plus and credit to them. Aston Villa have made their presence in the competition known with this win.Bayern Munich did a lot of pressure on this game. But, Villa's keeper excelled and reduced it.

Basically Neuer often does this, so it is not surprising if Neuer makes blunders in important matches like that.Because maybe I'm the only one who doesn't really like Neuer, even though Neuer is an experienced goalkeeper and the number one goalkeeper in Germany, but I feel Neuer is too brave to get out or leave his position under the crossbar, and that certainly forces their defenders to play extra carefully when Neuer leaves his position. But even so, Neuer is always the first choice which I think Bayern Munich should give a chance to other young goalkeepers. But yes, of course the coach alsohas a strong reason to keep playing Neuer as the main goalkeeper, because Neuer is also the captain of the team but Neuer should be able to minimize making such blunders.

In the domestic league of the Champions League? What is that?
Bayern Munich is having trouble to finish off their opponents. Now in the Bundesliga they have had the same problem again. 74% ball possession, 24:6 shots against Frankfurt and passing accuracy of 90% and yet they can't win the game. This has been a fundamental problem for them for quite a while. Same thing happened against Aston Villa. While they do usually score in less important games, they have two problems: No goals in the most important games and too many defensive sloppy mistakes. It costs them a lot at the moment, but they got lucky in the Bundesliga since Bayer Leverkusen dropped points, too.
Now in the Champions League a real test is waiting for them. Barcelona is going to be very tough to beat and it will be interesting to see the ball possession distribution as both teams love to play with the ball. But imagine Bayern loses that game, then they stand at two losses out of three games, which would be quite critical already and their first win against Dinamo Zagreb would be quite in vain for the time being.

Juventus may do better this season after been absent at the champions league last season as they did failed to qualify as they should have in the previous season, Leipzig is just characterized with too many inconsistencies recently and i don't think that will help them go a long way except they get it fixed as they should but then they don't seem to have that team strength and form to build a good and strong might against their champions league opponent considering they are not experienced enough too in the champions league as some of their opponent.
)and I've always noticed they don't go for huge win they just maintain it once they have a lead(maybe that went wrong aswell in their last game). So far they've lost their 2 games in the early opening of the UCL,I guess it gonna be tough for then this time around.
The 3 games ahead of Bayern Munich are all tough games for them. First they will face Frankfurt who are just below them in the Bundesliga standings, second they will face Stuttgart who although on paper are on Bayern Munich's side, but they can give a surprise, and lastly they will face Barcelona in the Champions League. Focusing on their match against Barcelona, actually they have a good record when facing Barcelona, but Barcelona is also in good shape now, so this will be a tough game for both teams. On the other hand Barcelona will also definitely try hard to improve their meeting record with Bayern Munich.
Bayern's match against Frankfurt ended with a score of 3-3, unfortunately they failed to secure full points. However, their ranking is still safe even though they have the same points as Leipzig. The next week's match Bayern Munich will host Stuttgart, considering that a few days after the match against Stuttgart, Bayern will visit Camp Nou, Barcelona's headquarters. Of course, Kompany will be careful so that his team does not experience problems. Plus, in the League against Stuttgart, Kompany could rotate some of his players. Meanwhile, Barcelona, before hosting Bayern Munich they will play against Sevilla. Playing at home, is an advantage for Barcelona when facing Sevilla and Bayern Munich. Referring to H2H Bayern Munich against Barcelona, Bayern has always dominated victory in 6 meetings. However, don't underestimate Barca for now. Because Filck knows very well how Bayern Munich is, he has a history of handling Bayern Munich. So, Flick will arrange tactics and strategies so that his current team Barcelona can defeat Bayern Munich at Camp Nou. well, it looks like this match will be very interesting for us to look forward to.
Now we have a long break for the next matches like a little more than 2 weeks. Let's carry out an evaluation about the progress so far.
Dortmund are the king around here after the first 2 matches.
Yeah I know, they didn't have very challenging opponents against themselves. But still the football they played in each one of them was just magnificent.
Brest's being in the 2nd position is really unexpected. I mean it is natural to defeat Sturm Graz. But doing it against Salzburg away by 4-0? That was a huge work done there.
I just can't overlook the improvement in Benfica's effort in the CL also. They weren't able to collect proper amount of points in the recent years. But defeating Atletico Madrid in such a way? That is so extra.

For Borussia Dortmund, they played in the final of the competition last season so seeing them occupy the first position I don't think is too surprising and they're not even there by luck but because they rightly deserve it.
Brest occupying the second position I think is the most surprising of all at the moment. The French club isn't doing well in the French league but have been exceptional in the Champions League. It's still early to decide what'll happen at the end because the next six games of this round might change things.
Munich will travel to Barcelona in the next match in the Champions League, seeing 2 less than satisfactory matches for Munich, Kompany must be able to restore the warmth of the media with what he has done before, and in my opinion Munich will work harder to be able to achieve good results in the next match in the Bundesliga they will meet Frankfurt which is also a strong team in my opinion this will be an important assessment of how Munich will be in the future when the Champions League continues against Barcelona.
Before Munich thinks about the next opponent in the Champions League, today Munich must be able to prepare a better strategy to be able to win at Frankfurt's home. Because if Munich can lose in the match they will play today, of course their position will be taken over by Frankfurt, but if the result is a draw, Frankfurt's position may be disturbed by Leipzig if Leipzig can win in today's away match. Now Kompany's task is starting to look harder because in a short time they have to continue to face fairly strong opponents including the next opponent in the Champions League, namely Barcelona which has also had quite good changes in its performance sector.
Now we have a long break for the next matches like a little more than 2 weeks. Let's carry out an evaluation about the progress so far.

In a few days we will soon enter the international match and every player will focus on helping his country in international competitions, so far we have seen some surprises in the Champions League, Madrid and Munich defeats against teams smaller than them obviously surprised us, besides that Milan who have not won a single win at the moment obviously puts them in a difficult position in the standings. Dortmund are the king around here after the first 2 matches.

Dortmund has shown great potential at the start of this season with back-to-back wins even though the opponents they are facing are not strong teams, their performance has been very impressive at the moment and is the opposite of their condition in the league, in addition to Dortmund ending two games with a win, Brest and also Benfica were able to achieve positive results with wins in their two matches, but I think, the performance and consistency they (brest and benfica) have at the moment will not last long and it is likely that the change in the position in the standings will occur in the third match of the UCL later.
The 3 games ahead of Bayern Munich are all tough games for them. First they will face Frankfurt who are just below them in the Bundesliga standings, second they will face Stuttgart who although on paper are on Bayern Munich's side, but they can give a surprise, and lastly they will face Barcelona in the Champions League. Focusing on their match against Barcelona, actually they have a good record when facing Barcelona, but Barcelona is also in good shape now, so this will be a tough game for both teams. On the other hand Barcelona will also definitely try hard to improve their meeting record with Bayern Munich.
IMO, domestic matches do not put any pressure on Munich. It is clear that Kompany is starting to know what strategy is suitable to use to maintain his position in the UCL and in the Bundesliga standings.To face Barcelona later, Munich is still favored because in H2H both teams always have very clear results that Munich can always beat Barcelona. And currently in terms of player quality, Munich is far superior.
So this will be an interesting match without having to worry about the results obtained by Munich.
Villa's only goal was purely Neuer's fault. He too often left his position. I don't know what the heck he was doing, but it's really bothering me to see that. He should just stand up, then wait in his position instead of always leaving his position.

I am not trying to say Aston Villa were not good on the day they were outstanding, for them to force Neuer into making mistakes is also a plus and credit to them.

Bayern Munich have been in great form since the start of this season. Bayern Munich won most of the matches by big margins. But in the last two matches, we have not seen a better performance than Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich shared points with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga match. Bayern Munich dominated the match but could not get full points in the match.
The result of the Aston Villa vs Munich match in the Champions League match was surprising. None of us were prepared to see such results. There is no way to say that Aston Villa are a very strong team. Although this match was an away match of Munich, Bayern Munich was the favorite in this match. But Bayern Munich players could not score a single goal. Bayern Munich dominated the match, but Aston Villa won. I would say Kompany needs to be more conscious in choosing match tactics. Match strategy should be made by identifying the opponent's weaknesses. If not, Munich will not be able to maintain the winning streak.
Now we have a long break for the next matches like a little more than 2 weeks. Let's carry out an evaluation about the progress so far.

On the other hand Barcelona will also definitely try hard to improve their meeting record with Bayern Munich.
Munich consistency will be tested today when they face Frankfurt, so far Munich is still able to be an unbeaten team in the league so facing Frankfurt who are currently also unbeaten in 6 consecutive matches in all competitions will obviously be a test for Kompany to maintain their positive trend in the Bundesliga, while in the Champions League of course Frankfurt is still better than Munich who just got a defeat to Aston Villa, But in my opinion of the 3 matches you mentioned, of course the match against Barcelona will be the most interesting match later, because so far Barcelona has a bad record every time they meet Munich, so this is an opportunity for Barcelona to improve their record, especially now that they are being coached by a coach who has coached Munich previously,but I think it's too far for us to think about the two matches this time (Munich vs Stuttgart and Barcelona), because after all, there will be many changes to the performance and condition of the players of the two teams later after the international break ends.
