Bayern Munich Membutuhkan 'Permainan Sempurna' Melawan PSG di Pertandingan Penting Liga Champions

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany is wary of the challenge posed by Paris Saint-Germain as his side prepare to face the French giants in the Champions League on Tuesday. The Belgian admitted that his team will need to play a “perfect game” in order to beat the defending champions. Meanwhile, PSG boss Luis Enrique is not too worried about Bayern’s historic winning streak and remains confident in his team’s ability.

Bayern make record-breaking start to the 2025-26 season

The Bavarian giants have been in red-hot form at the start of the 2025-26 season. After winning the DFL-Supercup in the curtain raiser, Kompany’s men have been unstoppable, stitching a remarkable and historic 15-game winning streak, breaking AC Milan’s long-standing record of 13 straight wins at the start of the 1992-93 season.

Kompany’s Bayern are beginning to resemble the dominant sides of the club’s golden years – relentless, fluid, and ruthlessly efficient. They have already netted 55 goals this season, averaging just under four per game, a testament to their attacking cohesion. Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka look revitalised this season, providing both energy and balance, while the front line – spearheaded by the prolific Harry Kane, who has scored 22 goals in 15 appearances across all competitions, and ably supported by Luis Diaz and Michael Olise – has developed a level of understanding and precision that can unsettle even the most disciplined defences.

Kompany wants ‘perfect game’ from Bayern

However, they face their toughest test of the season yet on Tuesday, as they take on PSG at the Parc des Princes. Speaking to reporters at the pre-match presser on Monday, Kompany said: “You have to believe you can do it. You also need a perfect game, we’re playing against the Champions League winners and one of the favourites. It’s an extra level of difficulty away from home. We have to believe we’ll get our chances.

“I’m really impressed by the team spirit, the ability to win the ball back and the individual quality. At PSG, it’s not enough to focus on one player. PSG have always had world-class players. We also have these great qualities – that’s why it’s such an exciting game.

“Luis Enrique said the same thing. We basically have similar prerequisites. It’s not just about dominance. That’s what people want to see tomorrow. We’ve already played each other twice, it was maximum intensity twice. If everyone is fit – which is almost everyone at PSG and us – then it will be a very interesting game.

“For us, a win means a big step towards the top eight – the same goes for PSG. The rivalry arises when clubs meet frequently. What’s more, the last few matches have been very exciting for spectators. Hopefully we’ll have the game we want tomorrow. But it’s difficult to predict because the individual quality of both teams is so high.”

Luis Enrique unfazed by Bayern’s winning streak

Although Bayern Munich seem like nothing can get in their way at the moment, PSG boss Luis Enrique isn’t giving too much importance to numbers. Instead, the former Barcelona coach believes that it will be a game decided by details, a game which they will aim to win with the support of their fans at the Parc des Princes.

“To know who the best team in Europe is, we have to wait until the end of the season,” Enrique said on Monday. “We have to wait and see how many trophies the team wins. Right now, they are very strong, they always are. We know how difficult the match will be, but we are ready. There will be similar situations [as the Club World Cup game in July] dengan prinsip bermain yang sama. Ini akan menjadi pertandingan yang menarik.

“Memenangkan 15 pertandingan berturut-turut adalah hal yang luar biasa. Mereka pantas mendapat banyak pujian, tapi besok, di Parc des Princes, dengan pendukung kami dan atmosfer ini, kami memiliki kepercayaan diri untuk mencoba meningkatkan kinerja kami dan mengatasi tekanan mereka. Ini akan menjadi pertandingan serupa dengan yang terjadi di musim panas.”

Dembele telah menghabiskan sebagian besar musim 2025-26 sejauh ini dengan menepi. hanya bermain delapan pertandingan dan total 400 menit. Setelah mengalami cedera hamstring saat bertugas internasional bersama Prancis pada bulan September, ia melewatkan tujuh pertandingan berturut-turut, sebelum kembali sebagai pemain pengganti melawan Bayer Leverkusen pada bulan Oktober. Sejak itu, dia membuat dua penampilan lagi dari bangku cadangan dan satu kali masuk dalam starting XI.

“Tidak ada risiko dengan pemain mana pun. Tapi Ousmane fit,” ungkap Enrique. “Dia sudah menyelesaikan semua sesi latihan beberapa minggu terakhir ini, dia berpartisipasi dalam dua pertandingan terakhir, dan kondisi fisiknya sudah membaik. Dia akan bermain besok tentu saja, saya tidak tahu berapa menitnya, tapi dia siap untuk kompetisi ini. Kami akan memutuskan berapa lama.”
