Kompany: Bayern aim for Champions League this season

According to Soccernews.

Context

Under the leadership of Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich aim to build on their recent successes in the Bundesliga while preparing to take on the challenge of the Champions League. Kompany, as a young coach, brings a fresh perspective to the club, looking to combine impressive offensive performances with knockout results on the European stage.

Why it matters

Bayern Munich's ambition to win the Champions League this season underlines their desire to transcend their dominance in the Bundesliga. After winning the German championship title and the DFB-Pokal, the club is now focusing on the European scene to erase the failure of the previous season against PSG. This quest for success in the Champions League could also influence their recruitment strategy and their preparation for future matches.

Key points

• Kompany: Bayern aims for the Champions League this season.
• Vincent Kompany says Bayern's ambition for 2026-27 is clear: win the Champions League.
• Kompany: Bayern’s aim is to win the Champions League this season.

Vincent Kompany left no doubt: Bayern Munich's goal for the coming season is to win the Champions League. After an impressive domestic exercise which ended with a new Bundesliga title and a triumph in the DFB-Pokal – the first since 2019-20 – the Belgian technician wants to go further on the European scene.

Last season, Bayern won their 35th German championship title and their 13th coronation in 14 seasons, displaying rare offensive power: 122 goals scored, a new record for a Bundesliga campaign. The club, however, came very close to equaling its own points record (91), coming within two points. On an individual level, Kompany became the second youngest manager to win two league titles with the same club.

Despite this national domination, the Bavarian team did not achieve its ultimate goal in C1. In the semi-final of the competition, Bayern were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain with a cumulative score of 6-5, a setback that remains on everyone's mind when preparing for the following season.

On the eve of a warm-up friendly against Aston Villa, Kompany recalled the trajectory he intends to take for the group: "It is difficult to improve — after all, it is not only a question of the trophies we have won, but also the number of goals and matches won. It is possible, but difficult. At the moment, I would say that our goal is to win the Champions League; there is no doubt about that. And throughout the season, I "I'll say we have to focus on the next game. To achieve that - to win the Bundesliga, the Cup and the Champions League - we need the whole squad to be fit and healthy. We have to use them well and improve the squad. We've done that before, but I hope this will help us achieve our goals."

Kompany thus places emphasis on two levers: workforce management and group progress. Bayern have already made moves to strengthen their squad, and physical preparation will be key if the club is to aim for a domestic and European treble.

On the calendar, the club will know its opponents for the group stage of the Champions League on August 27. The Bavarians' competitive season will, however, begin a few days earlier, with the DFL-Supercup against Borussia Dortmund, a meeting which will serve as the first serious test to gauge the team's real ambitions.

Clearly, under the Kompany era, Bayern displayed an assumed ambition on the European scene: after reigning almost unchallenged in Germany, the club now wants to make this status a reality by winning the big-eared cup.

The rest

As they prepare for their friendly against Aston Villa, Bayern Munich will look to refine their strategy and strengthen team cohesion. The performance in this match could provide insight into the team's form ahead of the start of the Bundesliga season. With a clear goal of winning the Champions League, each friendly match will be crucial in building positive momentum.
