It is hardly more important for FC Bayern

But now really, because of: week of truth. This was often proclaimed at FC Bayern this season. For example, before the play-off games in the Champions League against Glasgow. Or before the Triple pack against Leverkusen. However, the solution did not exclude Munich itself, but always fans, analysts and all sorts of rough stuff that earns his money with sport. For decades, the week of truth (which can also be put in the plural as a reinforcement) are emphasized with particular importance. Most of the time, the last third of the season is about truths of all kinds. Often also about bitter.

Games against FC Augsburg Usually it is not good from a Munich perspective to get plenty of pregnant pregnancy. Although the Upper Bavaria has always been difficult against the unruly Swabians, the pairing rarely had an impact on the outcome in the title race. This time, however, the Munich team of a previously tentative attack by the Leverkusener has to defend themselves onto the top of the table. So far, the lead is six points. If the Munich people lose in Augsburg on Friday – every Bundesliga professional understands that much mathematics.

After FC Augsburg, Inter Milan is waiting for FC Bayern

For Bayern, however, the away game is only the prelude to a number of games, which may then decide whether the season has to be considered good from the point of view of the Munich perspective. After the short trip to the FCA, they stand Quarter final games in the Champions League against Inter Milan to. These in turn take the always emotional duel against Borussia Dortmund in the middle. If the Munich team gained both league games, the championship would hardly be taken away at five games and at least six points ahead. In addition, the move into the semi -finals of the premier class and even the high Bavarian expectations of a season would no longer be possible. The nice thing about football: of course it can be very different.

For coach Vincent Kompany, it is the first season in the Munich area of ​​tension. He would certainly have liked another personnel starting situation to play these significant games. However, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito and Kingsley Coman are canceled. « It doesn’t change for us, there is no excuse, » the coaches searched unerringly after a phrase that is appropriate to the situation. Of course, it changes something in the game of the Munich game if instead of the fast Davies Raphael Guerreiro or the rather defensively thinking Josip Stanisic play over the left side. Kompany, however, struggled intensively in the press conference before the game against the lively suspicion that the Augsburgers are an outstanding top team, against which there was almost no means. After all, they have not lost eleven games in a row and still represent the best defense against all European top leagues in the calendar year 2025. « We know: We always get our possibilities. Hopefully we will score the goal, maybe the dynamics of the game will change, » said the coach.

It makes the task easier for him that the Augsburgers have recently moved into public focus. Then he does not have to say « how good they are, everyone understands that. » His players also know how good the Milanese are afterwards. The coach is not afraid that they are careful in the Bundesliga. However, he himself developed a long -term plan that was a passé a few weeks ago. « I had time and thought about how we want to do the next eighth games – and then you have the injured. You can’t plan so long -term, » says Kompany. One game after the other. Week after week. At the end of the season it will be billed. When Uli Hoeneß, Max Eberl, Herbert Hainer and Jan-Christian Dreesen talk about the season: This is the hour of truth.
