15 games, 15 wins – FC Bayern remains the benchmark after their 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen. The German record champions are currently playing in a league of their own – and now face the ultimate challenge in the Champions League against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.

No Harry Kane, no Michael Olise, no Luis Díaz – and still a show of strength! Coach Vincent Kompany surprised in the Bundesliga top match with a bold XXL rotation, which proved to be absolutely right. Bayern dominated Leverkusen for the full 90 minutes, won confidently 3-0, and were able to rest their stars for the Champions League clash in Paris at the same time.

“Bayern have that relaxed arrogance again – but in a positive sense,” praised TV expert Patrick Helmes on Sky90. “They know they are so good in the league that they can even rotate. That hasn’t happened in recent years. After Pep Guardiola, we thought they couldn’t be that dominant anymore, but now it feels like they’ve taken it to another level. They’re enjoying the game.”

In the Bundesliga, FCB is currently in a league of its own. Wins against Leipzig (6-0), Dortmund (2-1), Frankfurt (3-0), and Leverkusen (3-0) underscore the new strength of Kompany’s team.

The ultimate test against PSG

After national dominance comes the international acid test: On Tuesday evening (9 p.m.), the Munich side will face defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. A duel that will be a real benchmark for Kompany and his team.

The coach is looking forward to the match: “We’ve earned the right to go into this game full of enthusiasm. It has to be rock’n’roll. It’s an awesome game,” raved Kompany on Sky.

Whether FC Bayern can continue their winning streak in Paris remains to be seen – but one thing is certain: This team not only has the results, but also once again the self-assurance of a true giant.
