"The officiating for the 2-2 draw vs HSV was rather poor and had Michael Olise's last minute shot at the Allianz Arena been just millimeters lower, Bayern would've at least rescued a home point vs. Augsburg, but these are the fine margins that don't get remembered; it's just a win, draw, or loss and likewise three, one, or zero points."
"In a recent sit down with ESPNFC's Archie Rhind-Tutt (via @iMiaSanMia), Bayern center back Jonathan Tah explained that the squad is feeling well primed and confident as the head into the crucial stretch of the 2025/26 campaign. "The important games are coming now. I'm not saying the games we've had were not important, but this is fundamental to being successful. This period of the season has given us this confidence to play against the top teams and beat them too," Tah explained."
"Looking ahead, Bayern has a DFB-Pokal quarterfinal clash vs. RB Leipzig coming up as well as der Klassiker vs. Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga at the end of the month with a trip to Bayer Leverkusen not too long after. The Champions League round of 16 is also right around the corner. With tough matches on the horizon, Tah feels that said matches will give Bayern even more confidence in that they know what it takes to get difficult results when it matters most."
Bayern Munich have dropped points recently with draws against Hamburg SV and Union Berlin, a shock loss to FC Augsburg, and a Champions League defeat to Arsenal. Officiating and fine margins influenced outcomes, including Michael Olise's near-miss and a contentious home result. The squad still pursues a potential treble and faces a critical run of fixtures: a DFB-Pokal quarterfinal with RB Leipzig, der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund, a trip to Bayer Leverkusen, and the Champions League round of 16. Jonathan Tah says the team is primed, confident, and prepared for the big games ahead.
