Musiala has been out of action since sustaining a serious fibula and ankle injury during the FIFA Club World Cup against Paris Saint-Germain this summer following a collision with Gianluigi Donnarumma, who now plays for Manchester City. While Vincent Kompany is eager to have Musiala back in the fold, the club wants to do everything they can to not rush him back too soon and avoid risking a major injury setback, as has unfortunately happened with players like Manuel Neuer several times in the past.

The rapid rise of Lennart Karl has further reinforced the view of the club's bosses that they should rely even more on academy talents, look after them and promote them in the future. Thanks to Karl, the people in charge are more aware than ever of how much money integrating young talent can save, which could influence the squad planning. The Bayern Campus is currently receiving a huge amount of attention and also more appreciation.

Just a few years ago, there was a viral moment caught from a futsal match that captured the imagination of social media.

That said, he is still following his old club as well. In an interview with RTL, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, he said: "The team is very well-equipped, and the coaching staff with Vincent Kompany is doing an outstanding job. It's a joy to watch them play. I haven't watched all the games, but I've gotten a good impression. It's been fantastic so far, and I hope things will continue this way."

"There should be a limit on player salaries," Hainer said in a November interview with Abendzeitung, as captured by @iMiaSanMia.

It is NOT TRUE: Bayern want to sell Leon Goretzka in January. But, it is true that the Germany international wants to stay at the Allianz Arena. The 30-year-old sees a chance to stay at Bayern Munich - he'd love to stay at the club. However, as everyone knows, he's one of the top earners at about €17m-18m [£14.9m-15.8m] gross. Bayern have made a decision to talk to the midfielder and his agents next year about a new contract, and then they will see if he's willing to lower his earnings. If so, there's a chance for Leon Goretzka to stay.

It is TRUE: Ibrahima Konate wants his future sorted shortly. Konate knows that Liverpool would like to sell him if he's not prepared to sign a new contract, so he has to decide now. Bayern have said they're interested, so it could be difficult for them if the Frenchman decides to sign a new contract at Liverpool. That's because they're already set to lose another option in Marc Guehi, who is very close, at the moment, to signing for Liverpool.

Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich knew that Arsenal would present a different kind of challenge in the Champions League, but even someone as prepared as the German national team captain can sometimes get shocked when an opponent just comes out buzzing like the Gunners did in the second half of their 3-1 victory. Kimmich acknowledges as much after the game.

Bayern are more dominant at this point in the season than we were back then. No one in our team even talked about going an entire season unbeaten. For me, one thing was important: I wanted to win the league. The idea of ​​remaining undefeated didn't even cross my mind. It had never happened before. Leverkusen managed it in the Bundesliga in 2024. So it's definitely on the minds of Bayern. And I believe Bayern can do it too.
