"Bayern have won five of their six Champions League matches this season and sit in second place with 15 points in the league phase table behind leaders Arsenal (18 points). One more win from the remaining two fixtures against Union SG and PSV Eindhoven would almost certainly suffice for a place in the top eight and direct qualification for the round of 16."
""If you finish first or second, it doesn't automatically mean you're going to win the Champions League," said head coach Vincent Kompany in Tuesday's pre-match press conference. "But we want to achieve it because we're close and we've deserved it up to now. I want us to continue to earn it. It's incredibly difficult to finish in the top eight because there are more than eight big clubs in this phase.""
FC Bayern host Royale Union Saint-Gilloise on Matchday 7 at the Allianz Arena with kickoff coverage from 21:00 CET. A win would likely secure Munich's place in the Champions League round of 16, as Bayern sit second with 15 points behind Arsenal. One more victory from the remaining fixtures against Union SG and PSV would nearly guarantee direct qualification, depending on results of other group contenders. Vincent Kompany stressed the difficulty of finishing among the top two but emphasized the team's ambition and earned form. Bayern arrive after heavy Bundesliga wins of 8-1, 3-1 and 5-1.
