Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany says his team must deliver a winning performance at Freiburg on Saturday to bounce back from Wednesday’s Champions League loss to Feyenoord,
The Bavarians suffered a 3-0 defeat in the Netherlands that dented their chances of a top eight finish in the Champions League and an automatic spot in the competition’s Round of 16.
Under the new format this season, the next 16 teams below the top eight in the 36-team league will go into a playoff.
The Bavarians are four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, with champions Bayer Leverkusen in second place.
They will be without suspended Konrad Laimer and fellow defender Alphonso Davies, who could be out for some time with a muscle injury.
Kompany says despite their midweek loss, his players are committed to the season’s goals of winning titles.
