Bayern Munich can take home victory in this match after beating Celtic with a narrow score of 2-1. This is very valuable capital for them to undergo the second leg later at their own headquarters.

However, they should not be lulled by this victory. Because looking at Celtic's game, it can also give something to their game that if Bayern Munich is careless then they could lose.

Bayern munich really pushes their way to take the victory home, a superb performance from both teams but unfortunately the result speaks. Celtics do play well their performances wasn’t bad at all and moreover this was their first defeat at home.
  The possession and stats ain’t bad at all. Harry Kane is moving  with goals and making a big impact to the team with a superb and consistent goals for the team. He is really proving to be a reliable player for Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich must be able to ensure that they can play well in the second leg. They only need a draw at the moment, but considering the distance that exists, it is still quite risky.

Playing defensively is not a good option, so they must be able to play as usual even though they only need a draw in this match. I hope they can finish it very well.

The possibility of Bayern advancing to the round of 16 is higher the Celtic because Bayern is stronger and well experienced than them. Also Bayern is already one point ahead of Celtic. A draw will givd Bayern the qualification but Bayern should win them home and away to show that they're superior over Celtic.

I agree with you, Bayern was in control after making it 2-0 but then they let Celtic score and Celtic could have easily made it 2-2 if they were lucky, Celtic cooked Bayern in the last 20 minutes.
When playing in the second leg at home Bayern can't make the same mistakes again.
Bayern must finish the match as soon as possible with a convincing score.

This has been the problem of bayern munich they have not been convincing in their performance lately even at home but they have just been lucky because results has been going their way because looking at the champions League game against Celtic especially towards the closing minutes of the game bayern was really surprising struggling with the way that they were playing this bayern team is not too good as the results that they are getting because struggling against a Celtic side is what I was concerned about because with no disrespect to Celtic they are not in the class of bayern I don't personally see Bayern Munich moving beyond past the next round of the champions League

Bayern Munich has won the first leg of the game, they should be able to win the second leg at home too. Bayern Munich is in better shape and have the Champions League experienced than Celtic. They won the away game with the score of 1-2, and I believe that Bayern Munich can score more than 2 goals hosting the second leg to advance to the next round.

I agree with you, Bayern was in control after making it 2-0 but then they let Celtic score and Celtic could have easily made it 2-2 if they were lucky, Celtic cooked Bayern in the last 20 minutes.

Bayern Munich will surely perform at their best in the second leg in front of their supporters, they won the first leg even though Celtic pressed them in the last minute during the game. Celtic first goal was disallowed 2 minutes into the game, otherwise, the game would have end up draw for Bayern Munich.

I hope so too, but we know that Celtic showed their class in the first leg, so Kompany will have to apply the right tactics to contain the Celtic players. Celtic can hurt Bayern with their compact style and quick counter-attacks, they have fast players who can exploit the space behind Bayern's defense line. Adam Idah, Daizen Maeda, who was unfortunately suspended in the first leg, Jota or Nicolas Kühn.

It can be said that there is no reason why they can't be in the last 16, especially since they will be playing at home and starting the match with a 1 goal advantage.

This is their last chance to be in the last 16, I can't imagine them being eliminated after leading like this. It will definitely be a long conversation for their fans.

Of course, it is possible to consider Celtic as the serious rival with talented players and character in every match. Their players are very fast, and this front line can be very dangerous for any team that they are going to face. Thus, it is expected that the team is able to read their movements well and have good structure within the team in every line. The cooperation with the players will determine the success and the right decisions during the match. When it comes to playing this match, therefore, the top option is always a mature serene attitude. We are confident that this team has the capability to handle such circumstances well and assured support will definitely challenge them to give their best.

The top two teams in the bundesliga is likely going to share the spoils as the game between bayern Munich and bayern Leverkusen is currently 0:0 at the 86' minutes of the clock this results is favoring bayern munich the more as their point lead in the league will increase to ten points further cementing their first position place but it is not a good result for Leverkusen because plating at home I expected them to at least get a win even if it is 1:0 to close in on bayern munich

[Didia Sofunichi]

What a shameful display it was today from Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. Ninety minutes and not a single goal. Worse was that there was not even a shot on target for Bayern Munich

[Didia Sofunichi]

I'm sure the 2024/2025 Bundesliga season will be much more competitive. Not only Bayern Munich and Dortmund, but Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Frankfurt, they are preparing this season more competitively. Currently the transfer market has not yet ended and there is still an opportunity for clubs to change their squad layout with some of the top players they rely on and are looking forward to buying or loans. Well, at least their first match will take place in the 4th week of August and there is still a month to prepare.
The most competitive club would probably be Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen, or plus Dortmund too. This will be very interesting.

The 2 newcomer clubs that have just been promoted to the Bundesliga are St. Pauli and Holstein Kiel. Meanwhile, in the end Bochum was able to stay in the Bundesliga after beating Fortuna Düsseldorf in the play-offs. We'll see whether those clubs will survive this season and follow in Stuttgart's extraordinary footsteps last season, or whether it will end up in the relegation zone again.

Post your predictions. Do you think Leverkusen will be as dominant as in 2023/24 and will they defend the title?

This is still a bit difficult to predict, because this season, Bayern Munich's preparations will definitely be much tighter, especially because they might be confused by Leverkusen's movements last season which made them really embarrassed because their record as Bundesliga winners was taken over by Leverkusen and even They were only able to finish in 3rd place, below Stuttgart, who incidentally won the play-off from the relegation zone.

This will certainly provide very valuable learning for Bayern Munich. But on the other hand, they will also be together with the previous new coach, so I also can't imagine that it will really be overpowered again in the future. If I were to be honest, I would still remain enthusiastic and support Leverkusen, but this will not be as easy as last season, Xabi must make his squad work more solidly, effectively, significantly and stronger if he wants to retain the title. because competition will become much tougher.

I think we should just give the season to Bayern Munich. They are going to win it this time. Though an awful display today but from the beginning of the season they have shown enough strength, readiness and resilience

Yes they have to play a draw, that makes them not change any position in the standings. The match went a draw and even Bayern Munich could not do anything in this match, yes they could hardly create any chances.

So is Levekrusen, maybe they had some chances but it was also not so threatening and could not result in goals.

Bayern played poorly, the fans are not happy but Kompany will be pleased with the result. It was important for Bayern not to lose, and they did just that.

I think the Xabi squad played well. The statistics show a dominant performance from Leverkusen, but they missed a quality finish. It was a shame Wirtz didn't score just before the end of the match.

This current bayern munich team under kompany has been running on luck and luck will definitely fail them one day because week in week out they perform badly but seems to be getting results am particularly concerned about bayern munich future because bayern struggles to win even small teams that should not be a problem to them on the normal day but it's not the case I don't personally see kompany surviving more than next season as coach of bayern munich because his team is under performing maybe its because of the results that the club hierarchy is not concerned about what is happening in the club

[pawel7777]

I just watched the highlights of Leverkusen - Bayern Munich. There's no doubt Xabi Alonso's team deserved 3 points, but were just out of luck. They dominated the game in shots on goal and in terms of scoring chances created, they also had a small advantage in possession, but the results are not always fair and it's one of those cases.
Unless the highlights I watched are not a good reflection of the game, Bayern almost didn't exist. I guess you could give them some credit for effective defence and not losing a single goal, but they didn't pose any threat in the offence.
I wonder if that was a deliberate tactic by Kompany to just focus on the defence, given they already have 8 points advantage. Maybe his strategy was to keep the status quo rather than take a risk and expose themselves to the possibility of a loss. I don't know. But, as I said before, 8 points might be impossible for Leverkusen to catch up.
