One hour until kickoff: We have lineups! It looks like a standard 4-2-3-1 from Vincent Kompany, with Mathys Tel and Thomas Müller starting up top for Bayern Munich. You have Serge Gnabry and Gabriel Vidović on the wings, Aleksander Pavlović and Joshua Kimmich are in midfield, while the back line consists of Sacha Boey, Josip Stanišić, Kim Min-jae, and Raphael Guerreiro.
Only one question: Where’s Jamal Musiala?
Bayern Munich are in Seoul, South Korea, to play a preseason game vs a proper 1st division European team for the first time this summer. Fans are keen to see what Vincent Kompany can do now that most of the internationals — including key stars like Manuel Neuer, Jamal Musiala, and Thomas Müller — are back and available for selection.
Still, this is far from a 100% fit squad, and the French and English players are still missing, so no Harry Kane. The aim of this friendly will be to test out the tactics and see what works and what doesn’t. Surely no one will freak out if the result doesn’t go as planned, right?

Here at BFW we celebrate every goal like they do in the stadium: with a chant. The goal chants are for everyone to participate in! Even if you’re lagging behind the others, keep replying to the most recent call of the player’s name. Even if you missed the first call, just start from the second, and so on.
