"The fact is, we're not perfect. We're trying every day to become a better version of FC Bayern. We went through a period where we talked about it almost daily, when we conceded the most goals from set pieces. We're on the right track. On the other hand, we're one of the best teams in Europe in attacking set pieces, that's often forgotten. But overall we want to do better in that department."
"Arsenal FC have been pioneers of a new, ultra utilitarian method of taking corners, which has elicited strong reactions from fans and pundits. Their effectiveness has proven instrumental in their rise - when Bayern met the Gunners in the Champions League, the opening goal was scored via a corner kick."
Bayern Munich have struggled with set piece defense under Vincent Kompany, a weakness that has drawn significant attention. The coach acknowledged this vulnerability, noting the team went through a period of conceding multiple goals from set pieces but claims they are improving. Kompany emphasized that Bayern are among Europe's best at attacking set pieces, a strength often overlooked. The issue gained prominence after Arsenal scored against Bayern from a corner in the Champions League, highlighting the modern game's emphasis on set piece effectiveness. With Bayern's squad quality, the expectation exists for marked improvement in this defensive area.
