"Bayern Munich got their pants pulled down in the Champions League, and now it's time to regroup and make a statement against St. Pauli in the Bundesliga. Jose Mourinho said in 2010, that "one day some poor rival is going to pay for the chances we've missed today". So, will St. Pauli be on the end of a rampant Bayern beating or it's the opposite and questions will begin to be asked of the team?"
"Either way, here's how the team could look: It's the best possible team that Bayern can field due to the possibility of them smarting from the loss. Manuel Neuer in goal, Konrad Laimer, Jonathan Tah, Dayot Upamecano, and Josip Stanisic in defense; Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović in the pivot, and an attacking quartet of Luis Díaz (who was sorely missed), Lennart Karl, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane."
Match at Allianz Arena starts 3:30 PM local (9:30 AM EST). Bayern Munich seek immediate recovery after a heavy Champions League defeat and aim to assert dominance over St. Pauli in the Bundesliga. A memorable Mourinho line warns that missed chances can be punished later, framing the urgency for a response. Vincent Kompany faces a slight chance of rotation to manage workload ahead of the Union Berlin DFB-Pokal match. The projected strongest XI features Manuel Neuer; Laimer, Tah, Upamecano, Stanisic; Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović; with an attack of Luis Díaz, Lennart Karl, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane.
