Bayern Munich News: The aftermath of FC Bayern vs. Union Saint-Gilloise; Borussia Dortmund growing confident about Nico Schlotterbeck extension; and MORE!

"Michael Olise was doing some dazzling dribbling early, but always held on just a bit too long. Kim picked up a yellow card in the 18th minute, which could have changed Kompany's plan for later in the match. Bayern Munich was completely dominant, but not exactly going "balls to the wall" to score, which was a little odd. It was as if the squad was waiting for the perfect chance."

"Kimmich did not have a strong start to the match, but got better. Meanwhile, Aleksandar Pavlović was a passing machine (and even set a record). Bischof should get more minutes in the central midfield (broken record). In the 29th minute, Promise David beat the Tah and Guerreiro for a great header attempt, but Manuel Neuer was saved by his positioning. Otherwise, Bayern Munich would have been down 1-0."

"Dayot Upamecano was absent with an illness, so Kim Min-jae stepped in for him. Meanwhile, Kompany continued to think outside the box as he start Joshua Kimmich in the central midfield, Tom Bischof at left-back, and Raphaël Guerreiro at right-back - robbing fans of seeing the midfield duo of Bischof and Aleksandar Pavlović. Yes, a minor inconvenience, but it is hard to argue with just about anything Kompany does (aside of starting Bischof at right-back like he did against RB Leipzig last weekend)."

Bayern Munich won 2-0 over Union Saint-Gilloise despite an unconvincing performance marked by offensive disjointedness and defensive sloppiness. Fans were frustrated during the match but felt relief by full time. Dayot Upamecano missed the game with an illness and Kim Min-jae started in his place, while Kompany deployed Joshua Kimmich in central midfield, Tom Bischof at left-back, and Raphaël Guerreiro at right-back. Michael Olise produced dazzling dribbles but held the ball too long, and Kimmich picked up a yellow in the 18th minute before improving later. Aleksandar Pavlović was prolific in passing and set a record, while a 29th-minute header by Promise David forced a crucial Manuel Neuer save.
