"I don't see Atalanta as a stumbling block yet. When you have those games against City and Real later on... It's true that many games these days are decided by set pieces. I believe that even though it's not easy to defend, it's an unusually high number and can quickly end a season that's actually going well."
"For as tall as they are, Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano have not done a great job at clearing deliveries. Hopefully, that can improve or as Kroos said, it can make a good season come to an abrupt end."
Toni Kroos raises concerns about Bayern Munich's defensive struggles with set pieces, noting that an unusually high number of goals conceded from these situations could derail an otherwise successful season. While acknowledging that set piece defense is inherently difficult, Kroos emphasizes that Bayern's current rate of conceding from these situations is problematic. He identifies upcoming matches against Manchester City and Real Madrid as critical tests where this weakness could prove costly. Defenders Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano have struggled with clearing deliveries despite their height, contributing to the team's vulnerability in this area.
