""I would love to achieve (a top two spot), no doubt. But the example of Paris Saint-Germain from last season has changed a lot. From the knockout stage onwards, it's a different tournament. We also beat Leverkusen last year, even though we had to go through the playoffs. I want to achieve it because we're close now. We've earned it so far. It's incredibly difficult to reach the top eight; that's somewhat underestimated. For that reason alone, it would be great.""
""You can't really compare. It was a different time. We're in a different situation. I was one of the first to say in a press conference that they were doing a very good job. It was our first game with Anderlecht after the Corona lockdown. They had just been promoted and had players like Deniz Undav up front. They're doing a fantastic job and have very talented players. They're a dangerous team and they take advantage of their underdog role, I have big respect for what they're doing,""
Bayern Munich must approach Union Saint-Gilloise with caution because Union prefer to control possession domestically but excel as underdogs in European competition. Securing a win would improve Bayern's chances of finishing in the Champions League top two, a target described as difficult but achievable given current form. Historical managerial encounters with Union include one win and four losses from a previous Anderlecht tenure, underscoring Union's threat. Union have talented players who exploit underdog status and pose danger on the attack. Squad fitness is a focus, with Joshua Kimmich's condition being monitored and Jamal Musiala showing positive training signs.
