After nail-biting win against Frankfurt: Jamal Musiala warns Bayern | OneFootball

FC Bayern picked up three points against Eintracht Frankfurt – but the 3-2 win ultimately felt less commanding than the score at the interval would suggest. A comfortable 3-0 lead suddenly turned into a nail-biter in the closing stages. Even as the jubilation over the home win died down, the focus in Munich was already turning to the upcoming summit clash at Borussia Dortmund

„We have created a very good starting position for ourselves,“ explained sporting director Max Eberl after the game with a view to the top match next weekend. Bayern travel to BVB with an eight-point lead over their closest rivals, a cushion that seems reassuring – and yet almost melted away

Against Frankfurt, Munich let up considerably in the final minutes, with a penalty conceded by Harry Kane and a serious defensive blunder bringing the Hessians back into the game. „Of course you don’t want these moments when you’re in trouble,“ admitted Eberl openly. „But that’s part and parcel of the Bundesliga and can also make you aware that nothing is over.“

Jamal Musiala was even clearer, using the opportunity to make a clear statement to his own team. The 22-year-old emphasized on Sky that they had to „learn“ from this phase: „We can’t have moments like this for our goals.“

These are words that underline the attacking star’s ambition. FC Bayern want more than just domestic dominance. To achieve this, Musiala said, they need constant concentration. „We have to keep our energy, our focus at one hundred per cent at all times.“ A timely warning – especially ahead of a match in Dortmund, which traditionally writes its own laws

Kompany also sees the character

Coach Vincent Kompany didn’t want to make an exclusively negative assessment of the wild final minutes. „We’re fired up,“ said the Belgian, looking ahead to the clash at BVB. At the same time, he also recognized a positive component in the narrow success. „It also shows character to still get the game over the line.“

It is precisely this character that will be in demand in Dortmund. An eight-point lead is comfortable, but not a free ride. The nail-biting win against Frankfurt was both a warning and confirmation. Bayern can dominate – but they must not let up

Musiala’s words resonate. Playing at the top level for 80 minutes is not enough to achieve the really big goals. Dortmund will show whether the record champions have learned the right lesson.
