Bayern's Champions League Blues: Can they bounce back?

Bayern Munich are looking to swiftly recover from their first defeat of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, a 1-3 loss to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League. Vincent Kompany's squad aims to restore their winning momentum at the Allianz Arena, bolstered by otherwise strong domestic performances characterized by fluid attack and improved defense.

Their upcoming opponent, St. Pauli, travels to Munich facing a significant challenge. Alexander Blessin's team has developed an energetic identity, focusing on pressing and quick transitions, but currently sits in 16th place, battling relegation. This encounter presents an opportunity for St. Pauli to potentially disrupt Bayern's rhythm, especially if they can remain compact and precise.

Despite St. Pauli's tactical potential to trouble Bayern, especially if the champions show any post-loss doubt, the home advantage and overall squad quality position Bayern as strong favorites. Bayern's eagerness to move past the Arsenal result suggests an intense opening, but their motivation and depth are expected to secure a victory.
