Bayern Munich fight back against Mainz before the trip to Paris | OneFootball

Bayern Munich will be Paris Saint-Germain’s opponent in the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-finals (April 28 at the Parc des Princes and May 6 at the Allianz Arena). We will therefore be keeping an eye on the German team’s performances until the return leg. This Saturday, April 25, Bayern travelled to face Mainz (10th before the match) on Bundesliga matchday 31. They won 3-4, after suffering terribly for one half.

Bayern’s lineup:

Jackson

Diaz – Goretzka – Guerreiro

Ndiaye – Pavlovic

Davoes – Ito – Kim – Laimer

Unsurprisingly, with Bayern Munich already crowned German champions, coach Vincent Kompany made sweeping changes to the starting lineup. And the backups clearly did not make their case, as they were largely outplayed and trailing at half-time: 3-0.

Several usual starters then came on quickly and completely changed the match. In particular Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane, all of whom scored after Nicolas Jackson. That made a remarkable comeback possible. It also confirmed Bayern Munich’s strength with its first-choice eleven, but also that there is a clear gap with the “substitutes.”
