Vincent Kompany faces a significant challenge at Bayern Munich this season. Despite the team’s strong position atop the Bundesliga and their impressive Champions League performance, Bayern’s fate appears heavily reliant on one key player: Harry Kane.
The English striker has been exceptional, scoring 13 goals in 10 Bundesliga matches and 5 goals in 4 Champions League games. However, if Kane were to be sidelined due to injury, the situation could drastically change for the defending champions.
Kompany is fortunate to be managing Bayern after his relegation from the Premier League with Burnley. Such an opportunity would be almost impossible for another manager like Scott Parker if Burnley were to be relegated again. However, Kompany’s background as a successful former Manchester City captain, who won several Premier League titles, adds value, making Bayern willing to take a chance on him.
