"Bayern Munich managed a 6-2 win against SC Freiburg on Saturday during Bundesliga's Matchday 11. However, the start of the game seemed as if the Bavarians would fail to achieve a win for a second matchday in a row, after conceding two goals by the 17th minute. Although Bayern's defensive prowess has greatly improved since coach Vincent Kompany took over ( conceding only eight goals in the Bundesliga so far), both of the goals against Freiburg came from corner kicks, which evidenced issues in the approach to defending set-pieces."
"With a UEFA Champions League clash against Arsenal FC - a team who specializes in set-pieces - on the horizon, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany sees it as an opportunity for his team to show what they are made of (@iMiaSanMia). "They're the best team in Europe at set pieces. I think it's a good challenge. I don't know if there are many better teams than Arsenal in Europe at the moment. We're looking forward to the game.""

Bayern aims to continue its strong start to the season with a win in London.
