"Top-class clash: Eberl looks ahead to Bayern’s showdown with Chelsea" | OneFootball

Max Eberl is looking forward to the upcoming Champions League match against Chelsea after FC Bayern’s clear 5-0 home victory over Hamburger SV.

The sporting director of Munich sees the duel with the Club World Cup winners as the first major test for Vincent Kompany’s team this season. After three wins at the start of the Bundesliga, the record champions now want to prove their strong early form on the international stage as well.

Eberl made it clear that he is eagerly anticipating the showdown: “I’m really looking forward to the game on Wednesday. Chelsea deservedly won the final in my opinion, with their incredible energy that they showed. They haven’t gotten any worse since then. On the contrary, they’ve probably become even more stable. But that kind of active play is also our game. That’s why I believe that on Wednesday, a very, very exciting, top-class match awaits us.”

The Munich side were in gala form against HSV. Nevertheless, Eberl knows that Chelsea play in a different league compared to their previous Bundesliga opponents. The Londoners are traveling to Munich with a well-drilled team and want to prove that they are once again among the favorites for the title in the Champions League.

For Bayern, the goal is to carry the momentum from the successful opening weeks forward. Coach Vincent Kompany has found a working blend of stability and joy in play after an intense pre-season.

Against Chelsea, it will be crucial to implement this approach against an internationally experienced opponent and to consistently showcase their own attacking strengths with Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz.

The performance against the Blues could already indicate how competitive FC Bayern will be in the fight for the Champions League trophy.
