Defending champions Bayern Munich will host Freiburg at the Allianz Arena in a key match of the 11th round of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season. At the press conference, Kompany stated that the team's current impressive results are merely an additional encouragement, and he aims for an even stronger performance in the final stages of the season.

With goals from Diaz and Kane, Bayern Munich could only manage a 2-2 draw against Union Berlin in their last match, ending their winning streak in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich currently sits atop the table with 28 points, six points ahead of second-placed RB Leipzig, and must secure more points to extend their lead.

As for their upcoming match against Freiburg, Julian Schuster's team is currently 10th in the standings with 13 points, having achieved 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said, "Freiburg is one of the best examples in football, and I really admire their consistency. Their coach used to be a Freiburg player, and the team's style has hardly changed, with only minor adjustments in the details. If you look at their system, you'll see that they know very well which players are suitable for the team's style of play. It's never easy to play against them; they are capable of competing with any team."

"We drew with Union Berlin this season and failed to win the last game, which we haven't forgotten, and it hasn't been a perfect season."

Kompany emphasized, "The team must be strong enough by the end of the season, and doing well at the beginning of the season is just an extra bonus. We hope to be stronger by the end of the season. If we are performing well now, the task ahead will not be easy, but we hope to be stronger than we are now in the final stages of the season."

In addition, many Bayern Munich players have recently participated in national team duties, while Freiburg has fewer players called up to the national team.

Kompany stated, "This might be an advantage for them, but in fact, we have more options than Freiburg and more experienced players, and I don't want to use that as an excuse."

“There is no disappointment in our team. All the players have qualified for the World Cup and are coming back with positive attitudes. I would love to be with the players all week, but we are used to this situation.”
