"Smells like team spirit in Bavaria. Bayern Munich is off to a roaring start to 2024/25, having won its opening fifteen competitive matches heading into a blockbuster Champions League showdown against Paris Saint-Germain this week. It has been quite a transition from the turbulence of recent years to the steady aura of calm and inevitability the team exudes now under second-year coach Vincent Kompany."
"We had 23, 24, 25 world-class players back then. As a young player, it was difficult for me to break through. But when I see now how we function as a team and how we rejoice with and for each other... when I see the way we bring the principles onto the pitch, how one runs for the other... then that's already very special!"
Bayern Munich started 2024/25 with fifteen straight competitive wins and faces Paris Saint-Germain next in the Champions League. The club has shifted from recent turbulence to a composed, dominant identity under second-year coach Vincent Kompany. A 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen came despite a heavily rotated lineup, demonstrating squad depth. Midfielder and captain-in-waiting Joshua Kimmich highlighted the cultural change from an era of numerous individual stars and egoism to one where high-quality players prioritize teamwork and shared principles. Players now run for each other and place themselves at the service of the team.
