Bayern Munich experiments with 4-3-3 formation against RB Leipzig

Bayern Munich, under head coach Vincent Kompany, tried out a 4-3-3 formation during the Telekom Cup match against RB Leipzig on August 15, 2026. This tactical shift aims to provide more control in midfield and better suit the strengths of various players. The traditional 4-2-3-1 setup remains prominent, supporting width through wingers, but the experimental formation may offer additional options for breaking down deeper defenses. How frequently Kompany will implement this system remains to be seen as the preseason continues.
