At a press conference on the eve of the match, Vincent Kompany had this to say: “We always discuss the opponent’s approach. Schalke and Bodø/Glimt took the field with a game plan completely different from what we’re used to; by now, we’re accustomed to teams having a specific game plan for Bayern. Union Berlin has undergone a transformation. They’ve hired a highly successful coach. The confidence he has in himself will also influence his decisions. Regardless of what happens, we’re prepared for any changes the opponent might make. I have the entire squad at my disposal; let’s hope everyone returns safe and sound after the international break.”
