Kompany, nearing his goal of defending his title: We just want to beat Stuttgart.

Another key match in the 30th round of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season will take place, with league leaders Bayern Munich hosting Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. Kompany stated that the title only truly matters at the end of the season, and that the team's immediate goal is to defeat Stuttgart and continue moving forward.

With goals from Musiala, Goretzka, Olise, Jackson, and Guerreiro, Bayern Munich secured a resounding 5-0 away victory against St. Pauli in their last league match. This third consecutive win solidifies Bayern Munich's position at the top of the table with 76 points.

It's worth mentioning that Borussia Dortmund lost 1-2 to Hoffenheim in this round of Bundesliga 1, and are ranked second in the standings with 64 points, a whopping 12 points behind league leaders Bayern Munich. This means that Bayern Munich only needs to win 3 points in this match to achieve their goal of defending their title ahead of schedule.

In addition, Bayern Munich defeated La Liga giants Real Madrid 4-3 in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals after goals from Pavlovic, Kane, Diaz and Olise, thus advancing to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said, "The title only really means itself at the end of the season, and we will be facing one of the toughest opponents. Judging from our recent encounters, the games have been very close."

"I expect this to be a physically demanding match. Stuttgart is not only technically excellent but also physically very strong. Their long passes are also threatening, and their attacking firepower ranks second in the league. It will also be a great match for the fans, and the atmosphere at the stadium will definitely be fantastic."

In their first encounter this season, Bayern Munich thrashed Stuttgart 5-0 away from home. Following their match against Stuttgart, Bayern Munich will face Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup semi-final.

When asked about rotation to accommodate other competitions, Kompany said, "It's not entirely about rotation; we've been doing this all season. We have to make the most of our squad, and that makes us stronger. There's healthy competition in the team, and the players are eager to prove themselves in matches, and that competition is our strength."

"The players have said that regardless of the result, they will immediately turn their attention to the match against Bayer Leverkusen afterward. Even if we have to wait a little longer to celebrate, we are perfectly fine with that."

Kompany added, "We'll soon know how many times we'll celebrate and how big the celebrations will be. Right now, we just want to beat Stuttgart and move on. We're happy to be in this position."
