“Everyone with us is 100 percent off to the Champions League because we want to win them. No Bayern player, no coach can have less than goal. I can’t imagine that. The dream remains”said Kompany.
Kane: “Hard work until the final”
“A club like Bayern Munich always has expectations to win the best competitions – and especially the Champions League”, said Kane. Even if that has not been successful in recent years, “I wouldn’t say that we are underdogs”said the 30 -year -old Englishman.
“We play against the best teams in Europe, so it will be hard work until the final. We are now starting the competition and shouldn’t think too far”said Kane. The first stage destination is the direct qualification for the round of 16, for which at least table position must be achieved in the league.
Ligapse: win six games
“Win six games, then you will continue”according to the experience with the new preliminary round format at the premiere last season, is the extrapolation of Kompany. “There is a lot of drama in the new mode.”
Each of the 36 clubs plays four home games and four away games against eight different teams. All are then listed in a table. “Our path is very hard with opponents like Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain or Chelsea”Kompany said when looking at the opponents of the German record champion. “Nevertheless, we want to get under the first eight”confirmed the Munich coach.
