The stage is set, the lights are bright, and the Allianz Arena is buzzing with anticipation — it’s Der Klassiker time once again! Bayern Munich have just dropped their starting XI, and it’s nothing short of electric. From the reliable presence of Manuel Neuer between the posts to the lethal Harry Kane up front, this lineup screams dominance, precision, and intent.
Let’s start from the back. The captain and legend, Manuel Neuer (1), commands his territory with unmatched authority. His return to top form has restored confidence to the Bavarian backline. Ahead of him stands the powerful defensive duo of Dayot Upamecano (2) and Jonathan Tah (4) — a blend of strength, pace, and composure. Together, they form a wall Dortmund’s attack will find hard to crack.
On the flanks, Sacha Boey (23) and Alejandro Pavlović (45) bring dynamism and energy. Boey’s fearless runs down the right and Pavlović’s calm presence on the left offer both defensive stability and offensive thrust. The midfield is anchored by the ever-reliable Joshua Kimmich (6) — the heartbeat of Bayern — and Konrad Laimer (27), whose tireless engine ensures control and balance in the center of the park.
Moving upfield, Bayern’s creative spark is undeniable. The inclusion of Luis Díaz (14) on the left wing adds flair and unpredictability, while Michael Olise (17) brings silky dribbling and creativity from the right. Both wingers have the ability to stretch defenses and open spaces — something that could be crucial in breaking down Dortmund’s resistance.
Then there’s Harry Kane (9), the English superstar who needs no introduction. A natural leader and lethal finisher, Kane’s movement, intelligence, and precision in front of goal have already made him a fan favorite in Munich. Supporting him is Jackson (11), a rising star whose pace and aggression could prove decisive in transition moments.
From back to front, this Bayern XI looks built for battle — a perfect mix of experience, youth, and flair. The bench depth featuring names like Goretzka, Guerreiro, and Ulreich only highlights Bayern’s unmatched squad depth.
As the whistle blows, one thing is certain — Bayern Munich aren’t just here to play; they’re here to dominate. Der Klassiker promises fireworks, and with this lineup, Bayern fans have every reason to believe victory is on the horizon.
