FC Bayern face their next big test on matchday 6 of the Champions League group stage. Sporting Lisbon are another team from Europe’s top eight – and another opponent who will pose enormous challenges for the German record champions. As usual, you can follow the clash on FCBinside in the LIVETICKER and discuss the match with the community at the same time.
After the emotional show of strength at Paris Saint-Germain, when Vincent Kompany’s side recorded a spectacular victory despite being outnumbered, a setback followed last matchday. The defeat at Arsenal was the first loss of the season in all competitions and also a wake-up call that every mistake is punished in the top flight. Munich now want to show a direct response – and the home game at the Allianz Arena offers the ideal stage for this.
At least there was one piece of good news for FC Bayern recently: the appeal against Luis Díaz’s three-match ban was successful. The Colombian will be allowed to return to action after the match against Sporting, which will give Kompany significantly more options in attack.
Sporting Lisbon travel to Munich with plenty of confidence. The Portuguese side have won three and drawn one match so far and were only beaten by SSC Napoli on the second matchday. As a result, Sporting are currently in eighth place and would qualify directly for the round of 16. Another success in Munich would be a statement – but Bayern will want to prevent that from happening.
