After the international break in November, Bayern Munich started their Bundesliga games again in a very exciting manner. The reigning champions had to fight back from a 2-0 deficit to secure a 6-2 victory over Freiburg at Allianz Arena. Thanks to Saturday's win, Bayern made sure they had an eight-point advantage at the top of the league standings.

Vincent Kompany made some interesting team choices on Saturday, keeping in mind Wednesday's Champions League match against Arsenal. Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof were given starting positions, while Joshua Kimmich was placed on the bench, as the Belgian coach went with a midfield duo of Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlovic.

From the very beginning, Freiburg appeared to be the sharper team. Early in the game, the visiting team had two significant opportunities, but Die Roten were fortunate on both occasions. Freiburg controlled both penalty areas in the first 10 minutes, as Die Roten struggled to take control of the game.

The visitors were eventually rewarded for their strong start when they took the lead in the 12th minute. Jan-Niklas Beste sent in a superb corner kick that found Matthias Ginter inside the penalty area. Ginter headed the ball towards Yuito Suzuki, who powerfully shot it into the net from close range.

Five minutes later, the visitors stunned the Allianz Arena by doubling their advantage. From the right corner, Beste delivered another excellent cross that found Johan Manzambi in the penalty area. Manzambi jumped higher than everyone else to head the ball past Neuer.

Freiburg's second goal had truly awakened Bayern. The home team began to connect passes in the attacking third of the field. In the 22nd minute, they managed to reduce the deficit with a fantastic goal from Lennart Karl. Michael Olise was the creator of the goal, as he drove forward with the ball in the attacking third and delivered a perfectly placed pass to find Karl in the penalty area. With a clever touch, the young player moved away from his defender and then placed the ball into the left corner of the goal.

After scoring their first goal, Die Roten were able to gain momentum. Freiburg struggled to regain control of the ball as they had in the first 15 minutes. The Bavarian club created opportunities at a good pace and was close to scoring the equalising goal. In the added time of the first half, they finally broke through. Before the French forward unleashed a powerful shot to beat the goalkeeper, Olise and Karl combined brilliantly in the attacking third.


Vincent Kompany's halftime talk does the trick for Bayern


The equaliser just before the half-time break was exactly what Bayern needed to get into their rhythm. In the 55th minute, the home team took the lead after Olise sent in an accurate cross from the corner for Dayot Upamecano to head the ball into the net.

Following a header from Aleksandar Pavlovic inside the penalty area, Harry Kane scored, increasing Bayern's advantage to two goals. The English attacker extended Die Roten's lead by successfully manoeuvring the ball beyond Noah Atubolu, putting them in a strong position.

After entering the game as a substitute, Nicolas Jackson secured the victory for the home team by scoring in the 78th minute. With composure, the Senegalese player directed the ball into the bottom right corner, although the play's success was greatly influenced by Olise's smart pass to Jackson. Demonstrating his outstanding individual abilities, the French winger increased the score in the 84th minute by bending the ball around Atubolu from just outside the box. Hiroki Ito came on as a substitute and assisted Olise's goal.

Although Bayern's performance against Freiburg was not flawless, they showed resilience by overcoming early challenges. Kompany will be hoping that his team displays greater focus and intensity in their upcoming match against Arsenal on Wednesday.

WHY LUIS DIAZ IS TRADING FOOTBALL BOOTS FOR MICROPHONES AT BAYERN MUNICH

Bayern Munich’s Luis Diaz launches his music career with the Champeta single "La Promesa." Explore the lyrics, family story, and video.

13 goals this season and a hit single?

Luis Diaz, once lighting up the wings for Liverpool, has surprised just about everyone by diving into music. Now at Bayern Munich, Diaz just dropped his first single, “La Promesa”—which, yeah, means “The Promise.”

He didn’t go it alone. Diaz teamed up with Juanda Iriarte and Nelsen, two big names in champeta, that lively Afro-Colombian sound from the Caribbean coast. It’s a genre that’s all about rhythm, energy, and heart.

In his debut track, Diaz opens up about a promise he once made to his parents—to buy them a house and help them leave behind their old neighborhood. The lyrics don’t dance around the message. He’s just grateful for football, his career, and the chance to give back. “Thank you, God, for giving me the blessing of playing football,” he sings. “And being able to fulfill the promise I made to my parents and to my whole family, amen.”

As 2025 wrapped up, Diaz dropped a heartfelt note on Instagram to go with the new single. He wrote, “I close the year with gratitude. To God, for guiding my every step, giving me strength when things got tough, and never abandoning me. To my family, thank you from the bottom of my heart. For always being there, through sacrifices, the tough moments, and every dream that seemed out of reach. None of this would be real without you. Every effort makes sense when you can give back even a fraction of what your loved ones did to help you succeed. This song is straight from my heart, from sincere gratitude for what we’ve built together.”

He didn’t stop there. “This is the result of a long journey of faith, work, and love. God’s been with me all the way. My family fought with me and for me. Everything I am, everything I have—it’s because of that. Thank you, God. Thank you, family. Thank you, Nelsen Music and Juanda Iriarte, for believing and making ‘La Promesa’ real.”

The music video? It’s Diaz at home, singing, while highlights from Barranquilla FC, Junior de Barranquilla, Porto, Liverpool, and Bayern flash by—goals, celebrations, the lot.

Why music? Diaz explained, “Music’s one of my hobbies, a way to express what’s in my heart. I do it with love and respect for the art. This project just grew out of passion, from enjoying the process and connecting with you in a new way.”

He hasn’t slowed down on the pitch, either. Since moving to the Bundesliga, Diaz has racked up 13 goals and 7 assists in just 22 games this season. Back at Liverpool, he scored 41 times, added 23 assists in 148 games, and helped the club lift the Premier League, FA Cup, and two League Cups. Not a bad run—on the field or now, apparently, in the studio.

WHY KIM MIN-JAE IS REFUSING TO LEAVE BAYERN MUNICH THIS JANUARY

Kim Min-jae has reportedly rejected all winter transfer offers from Fenerbahçe and Italy to fight for his place at Bayern Munich.

Kim Min-jae is snubbing Fenerbahçe and Italy

Bayern Munich aren’t in a hurry to let go of their senior players this January, even if some of them really want more minutes on the pitch. The club’s top brass and Vincent Kompany both think a deeper squad gives them a better shot at managing matches during the Ruckrunde. It also keeps Bayern in the race for trophies on all fronts.

Right now, Kim Min-jae is one of the few Bayern players drawing real interest from clubs around Europe. Fenerbahce are hoping to lure him back to Turkey, and there’s buzz from Serie A as well. But honestly, Kim’s not biting. The 29-year-old has made up his mind about what comes next.

Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sports Germany reports that Kim Min-jae isn’t looking for a move in the middle of the season. He’s turning down all the winter offers and plans to stick it out in Munich until the summer, at least.

Bayern are happy to keep him around for the Ruckrunde. The truth is, Kim had a rough first half of the season. He lost his spot in the starting lineup, with Jonathan Tah slotting right in as Kompany’s go-to center-back. In total, Kim Min-jae clocked 686 minutes between the Bundesliga and the Champions League. Tah and Dayot Upamecano have been Bayern’s main pairing in defense for most games.

Looking ahead, Kim Min-jae might need to consider a transfer this summer. Bayern appreciate that he’s fighting for his place, but it feels like his time in Munich is probably winding down.

Since joining from Napoli in 2023, Kim hasn’t really strung together a full season of strong performances. The second half of the season, in particular, has been tough for him. Last summer, clubs like Al-Nassr, PSG, and Juventus circled, but in the end, he stayed in Bavaria.

With two years left on his contract, Bayern might decide to cash in when the window opens again. Kim won’t be short on options. A return to Italy could make sense—he thrived in Serie A before. For now, he’s got the rest of this season to make his case, help Bayern chase silverware, and maybe write a different ending to his time in Munich.
