"No, I see it more as a privilege. When the younger players come up, like I did, I'm happy to give them advice and guide them. Because I know from my own experience how important that is for young players. I often do things with Lennart Karl, for example; we go out to eat together. And Tom Bischof too. We're the younger generation finding its feet. I'm happy to take on that responsibility."
Aleksandar Pavlović has solidified his position as a regular starter for Bayern Munich in his third season under Vincent Kompany, frequently partnering with Joshua Kimmich in midfield. Throughout 2026, Pavlović has demonstrated superior consistency in passing and defensive contributions compared to Kimmich. He has secured a starting spot for Germany's 2026 FIFA World Cup squad, pending injury. Despite his young age of 22, Pavlović displays remarkable maturity and has willingly assumed leadership responsibilities within the club. He actively mentors younger players, including Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof, drawing from his own experiences as a developing talent. Pavlović views this mentoring role as a privilege rather than a burden.
