Bayern Munich got their pants pulled down in the Champions League, and now it’s time to regroup and make a statement against St. Pauli in the Bundesliga. Jose Mourinho said in 2010, that “one day some poor rival is going to pay for the chances we’ve missed today”. So, will St. Pauli be on the end of a rampant Bayern beating or it’s the opposite and questions will begin to be asked of the team?
There is a slight chance that Vincent Kompany will rotate this match to manage workload and (trigger warning) the Union Berlin DFB-Pokal match next week. Perhaps he doesn’t rotate. Either way, here’s how the team could look:
It’s the best possible team that Bayern can field due to the possibility of them smarting from the loss. Manuel Neuer in goal, Konrad Laimer, Jonathan Tah, Dayot Upamecano, and Josip Stanisic in defense; Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović in the pivot, and an attacking quartet of Luis Díaz (who was sorely missed), Lennart Karl, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane.
