Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich travel to VfB Stuttgart on Friday hoping for a perfect dress rehearsal ahead of next week's Champions League last-16 first-leg tie against Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich's Bundesliga clash in Stuttgart on Friday is the first stop in a season-defining fortnight for Vincent Kompany's team. Stung by ruthless double winners Bayer Leverkusen condemning them to a first trophyless season in 11 years, Bayern have rebounded this term and lost just once in the league. With 11 games remaining, Bayern sit eight points clear of Leverkusen. The two face off in the last 16 of the Champions League, with the first game in Munich on Wednesday and the return leg in Leverkusen six days later.
Thomas Muller has come out swinging in defence of Vincent Kompany after the Bayern Munich boss was accused of 'humiliating' the German great against Celtic.
BERLIN: Bayern Munich substitute Serge Gnabry grabbed a late goal to cap a 4-0 win over third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt that consolidated the Bavarian powerhouse’s Bundesliga lead on Sunday. Gnabry fired the ball through Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp’s legs in the second minute of stoppage time, almost 10 minutes after Jamal Musiala ran past a host of defenders and got a fortunate bounce of the ball before firing it past Trapp for Bayern’s third goal. Without top scorer Harry Kane, who only played the final half hour or so, Bayern stayed eight points clear of defending champion Bayer Leverkusen with 11 rounds remaining. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany opted against starting Kane, who sustained a facial injury in the draw against Leverkusen last weekend. Altogether he made six changes to the team that drew with Celtic 1-1 in the Champions League playoffs on Tuesday, with Bayern veteran Thomas Müller leading the attack. Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitiké had the best chance early on after a mistake from Hiroki Ito, before Musiala had Bayern’s first opportunity cleared off the line. The home team dominated proceedings and duly took the lead through Michael Olize before the break. Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich had to go off injured just before the goal, after clutching the back of his left thigh. Ito was left free at a corner to score the second goal in the 61st.
