"At this point, destroying RB Salzburg early in the year is becoming a habit for Bayern Munich. They did so in 2022 with a 7-1 score in the Champions Round of 16, before organizing a couple of friendlies to ensure the same happened in 2025 and 2026, to the tune of 6-0 and 5-0, respectively. But what was equally as important as a big win was how well the team prepared for the rest of the 2025/26 season."
"We have a lot of motivation for what we want to achieve in 2026. We have midweek fixtures and three games every six days in the coming weeks. That's pretty intense, especially coming back from vacation. But the vacation wasn't too long, the program was good, and the guys are fit. If the squad can get through this phase, we'll enter the crucial part of the season very strong."
Bayern Munich has repeatedly started the year by decisively beating RB Salzburg, with results including 7-1 in 2022 and dominant friendlies in 2025 and 2026. The team prioritized preparation for the 2025/26 season, emphasizing training, fitness, and short but effective vacation programs. Head coach Vincent Kompany reported high motivation, intense upcoming fixture congestion with midweek matches and three games every six days, and confidence that the squad can emerge into the crucial season phase strong if they navigate the stretch. Continued form into March and April could enable major achievements. Bavarian Podcast Works offers related coverage on Acast, Spotify, Apple, and other platforms.
