Vincent Kompany, the coach of Bayern Munich, is set to turn 40 this Friday but is focused on upcoming matches rather than celebrations. With a crucial Bundesliga match against St Pauli and a UEFA Champions League quarter-final return leg against Real Madrid, Kompany emphasized the importance of maintaining team energy and consistency. Bayern Munich recently reached 100 goals this season, just one shy of breaking the Bundesliga scoring record of 101 set in the 1971-72 season. Kompany stated he would likely keep the same lineup that won 2-1 in Madrid, highlighting the need for players to stay in form. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is expected to continue in goal, barring any injury setbacks, while striker Harry Kane is fit to play after a strong performance in the last match.
