What to expect from Bayern and the opponent
Bayern arrive in good form after their opening win against Chelsea, with Harry Kane delivering a standout performance and marking their attack as a major threat in Europe once again. Kane’s two-goal display against the reigning World Club champions underscored Bayern’s potential to finish their chances, while captain Manuel Neuer logged a landmark achievement: his 100th victory in the Champions League, tying a notable personal milestone with the club’s long run of success.
Pafos FC, making their Champions League debut, showed resilience in their opener, earning a valuable 0-0 draw against Olympiakos Piraeus despite playing with ten men from the 25th minute. The squad features experienced additions like Brazil’s David Luiz, who brings a wealth of European cup experience to the Cypriot champions. His minutes were limited in the previous match due to an injury, but his presence adds a cautious optimism for Pafos as they face one of Europe’s class clubs.
Squad notes and tactical angles
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany highlighted the appeal of facing new opponents, noting that gaining information can build respect for the quality across Europe. Bayern will likely maintain a high-press approach, leveraging Kane’s finishing prowess and a midfield dynamic designed to control tempo and create scoring chances. Pafos, on the other hand, will hope to frustrate Bayern with disciplined defensive organization and quick counter-attacks when opportunities arise.
