Despite Harry Kane’s public concern over Bayern’s “smallest-ever squad,” Kompany says size is manageable given role clarity and imminent returns for Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito. Bayern’s perfect start includes a 2-1 Champions League win over PSG. Kompany cites fit core—Luis Díaz, Kane, Michael Olise—plus unexpected depth from Lennart Karl. He argues guaranteed pathways trump headcount, framing rotation as needs-based while performance, availability and tactical flexibility mitigate load, easing pressure for near-term reinforcements.

Kovac defends Jobe Bellingham after Klassiker-deciding error

A miscue by Bellingham enabled Michael Olise’s winner in Bayern’s 2–1 Klassiker victory, triggering scrutiny of the 19-year-old’s adaptation. Kovac rejected blame, calling the cross unplayable and the scenario difficult, while questioning an earlier Harry Kane goal for a perceived push. Kovac emphasized biomechanics and decision frames under rapid deliveries, arguing Bellingham’s positioning was correct and execution constrained. He framed officiating inconsistency as material to the result, seeking to shield a young signing amid heightened expectations linked to his surname.
