Bayern Munich's first Champions League defeat in seven years against Aston Villa highlighted critical tactical failures, especially in their inability to penetrate the opposition's defense despite dominating possession.
The performance was marked by Bayern's poor strategic execution, with players like Musiala isolated and Harry Kane left motionless at the back line, failing to leverage their possession effectively.
Kompany's decision to leave Musiala isolated in the midfield gave Aston Villa leeway to neutralize his impact, demonstrating a failure in adapting to the defensive strategy needed in the match.
Dayot Upamecano struggled under pressure from Ollie Watkins, leading to multiple fouls and near disciplinary issues, showcasing the risks of Bayern's high defensive line against quick attackers.
