Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has identified winning the Champions League as a primary objective for the current season. During the team's preseason tour in Asia, Kompany informed his squad that the European title remains his top priority alongside domestic competitions. Club leadership, including the executive and supervisory boards, reportedly approves of his proactive approach to setting these goals. This ambition follows a previous campaign where the club secured a domestic double but fell to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinals. The internal alignment at the club has been bolstered by recent contract extensions for key front office figures Max Eberl, Christoph Freund, and Jan-Christian Dreesen. Bayern Munich also recently completed transfer acquisitions of Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari to strengthen the squad for the upcoming European campaign.
