Bayern Munich is not afraid of the challenge despite the injury-ridden team and vows to win with unity

In the first leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Bayern Munich will face Inter Milan at home. Even though the team has many injured players who cannot play, the players still believe that they can win through unity.

In the pre-match press conference, Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany was asked about the team's form and said: "We will not complain. We trust each other and will solve the problem with the existing squad."

"It's not just about skills, it's about character, fight and emotion. These are all part of the game. We showed what we are capable of in the last round against Leverkusen."

Bayern Munich defeated Augsburg 3-1 in the last Bundesliga game, and previously defeated Leverkusen 5-0 on aggregate in the Champions League round of 16. These victories have helped Bayern Munich gain confidence, and they can face the game optimistically even in the absence of their main players.

Joshua Kimmich, the captain, shared the same idea as Kompany, believing that this predicament could unite the team more. Kimmich said: "Each of us is important, no one is a 'runner-up'. We need players who are eager to win and ready to play at any time."

Bayern Munich are missing Manuel Neuer with a calf injury, Dayot Upamecano with a knee injury, Alphonso Davies with a cruciate ligament injury, Hiroki Ito with a metatarsal fracture and Jamal Mussela with a hamstring strain.

Kingsley Coman and Alexander Pavlovic, who were absent from the game earlier due to injuries, have started individual training, but their form has not yet fully recovered, so they will not represent Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
