Overview
- Vincent Kompany’s side beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0 to open the season with 13 straight wins, equalling AC Milan’s 1992/93 mark across Europe’s top leagues.
- Club leaders extended Kompany’s deal through 2029 in recent days, drawing public praise from pundits as players cite restored clarity and cohesion under his approach.
- Seventeen-year-old Lennart Karl scored in the Champions League against Brugge and again in Mönchengladbach, became Bayern’s youngest UCL scorer, and is reportedly drawing scouts from Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea.
- National-team talk around Karl intensified after Joshua Kimmich said early call-ups are more common today, while Kompany urged the youngster to keep his focus despite the growing hype.
- Nicolas Jackson was withdrawn after 59 minutes in Gladbach and remains without a Bundesliga goal or assist in six appearances, with Eberl calling his adaptation complicated and reports highlighting a €16.5m loan fee and a conditional €65m purchase obligation.
