Bayern Munich return to Champions League action on Tuesday night knowing the margins at the top of the table remain tight, with Vincent Kompany's side still firmly in the hunt despite sitting just behind Arsenal. The Bavarians welcome Union Saint-Gilloise with alot of confidence, boosted by the return of Jamal Musiala, as they look to maintain momentum in a competition where consistency has been key, Softfootball reports.
Form at the Allianz Arena has also been a major positive for Bayern in recent weeks. The German giants have won their last nine games out of ten games at home in all competitions, a run that includes a ruthless 8-1 demolition of Wolfsburg , underlining the attacking firepower Kompany's side can unleash in front of their own supporters.
With Musiala now back available after his spell on the sidelines, Kompany has options once again as Bayern continue to juggle a packed January schedule. The Belgian coach has leaned heavily on the collective strength of his squad in recent weeks, and he insists that flexibility and mentality, rather than individual reliance, will be decisive as the season enters a crucial phase.
