It was not a pretty match by any means, but it did — once again — feature some major heart and grit for the Bavarians to battle through being one man down for over a half and two men down by the end of the game.

Let’s get into it, here are some quick hitters on the match: As always, let’s begin with a look at the starting XI: ⚪ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝚰𝐍𝐆 𝐗𝚰 🔴 📝 Confirmation of today’s starting line-up! 👊 pic. twitter.

com/MQEOW5ypHK — FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) March 14, 2026 As much as we all want to see Harry Kane, it was the smart move to leave him out of the starting XI. Otherwise, Kompany kept it pretty standard. Lennart Karl got the nod over Serge Gnabry at the the No.

10 position (Jamal Musiala was declared out on Friday). It was mildly surprising to see both Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano in the starting XI, but that should give Kim Min-jae a chance to start against Atalanta in the Champions League next week. That UCL match should give Kim a good chance to market himself on a big platform if he decides to leave Bavaria this summer.
