The 32nd round of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season will take place, with Bayern Munich hosting Heidenheim at the Allianz Arena. Despite having already secured their title defense, Kompany stated that his team will still give their all to win and will not concede any points to their opponents.
In the last round, Bayern Munich, trailing by 3 goals, ultimately defeated Mainz 4-3 at home thanks to goals from Jackson, Olise, Musiala and Kane.
Unfortunately, Bayern Munich lost 4-5 to defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the earlier Champions League semi-final.
In Heidenheim, Frank Schmidt's team is ranked 18th in the standings with 22 points, deeply mired in relegation crisis.
Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said at a press conference, "Winning the title early is certainly a good thing, it means we have accomplished our mission, but we don't want to give anyone a gift. We will fight for victory with all our might, as we proved in our last match against Mainz. Our attitude in the game shows that we are doing everything we can to prepare."
"The match against Paris Saint-Germain was obviously very intense, and the whole of Munich was looking forward to the second leg, but my job was to keep the team focused on the match against Heidenheim, and that's what I'm trying to do every day."
Speaking about Heidenheim's relegation battle, Kompany said, "Heidenheim has won two of their last three games. I've been through relegation battles before, and I think it's amazing that they can pull a seemingly hopeless situation back into the competition. Relegation battles are very tough psychologically, so I have a lot of respect for them."
In addition, 18-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder Lennart Karl was injured in training and therefore missed several key matches.
Kompany stated, "Many times when players are first injured, they don't even know the specifics. Lennart Carr had never been injured before, which usually means he will recover quickly."
“Experienced players know their limits, and Lennart Carr will do everything he can to be ready for the match against Paris Saint-Germain, but we must take care of his body’s recovery process.”
