"Bayern have other fish to fry, starting with a trip to their coach's old club Hamburg SV, where the Nord-Süd-Gipfel (north-south summit) will go ahead on Saturday (stream LIVE at 12:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+ in the U.S.). HSV, ravaged by injuries and struggling for goals, will do well to come anywhere close to matching Augsburg's energetic and effective performance at the Allianz Arena."
"It was so very Bayern-like (an English expression used in German, too) to swiftly turn the page on Augsburg and roar to victory at PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League. Seven wins from eight games in the new competition format is nothing to sniff at and gives Bayern potentially crucial home advantage in the return legs between now and -- potentially -- the final."
Bayer Leverkusen celebrated Bayern Munich's 2-1 home loss to FC Augsburg, which marked Bayern's first Bundesliga defeat of the season. Bayern quickly recovered with a Champions League victory at PSV Eindhoven, bringing seven wins from eight matches in the competition's new format and strengthening prospects for home advantage in later rounds. Club leaders recall last season's taxing playoff-round tie against Celtic and the difficult San Siro trip to Inter Milan. Bayern's immediate focus includes a Bundesliga trip to Hamburg SV and a DFB-Pokal quarterfinal against RB Leipzig, while Hamburg battles injuries and goal-scoring issues.
