The highlight of this round of Bundesliga, the first leg of the 2025/26 German El Clasico, is about to start at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Kompany's team came with a 10-game winning streak, and it can be said that they are at their peak. They hope to win this six-point championship battle and gain room for maneuver in the upcoming intensive schedule. While people are marveling at the strength of Bayern's "British Gang", Dortmund is quietly accumulating strength. This team, which has achieved 14 undefeated Bundesliga games across the season, will be tested by Europe's strongest striker.

[The young marshal benchmarks against the meritorious coach, the "British Gang" reshapes the Bundesliga giant]

Before this round of national team match days, Bayern Munich defeated Frankfurt with 3 goals in the away game. Facing the former bitter master, the Bundesliga giant completely controlled the game and completely conquered the opponent from the process to the result. After this big victory, Bayern Munich completed the start of the season with 10 consecutive victories, becoming the only team in the five major leagues to achieve such an achievement.

During the 10-game winning streak, Bayern Munich scored 38 goals, averaged 62% ball possession per game, and completed 19.5 shots on target. Their dominance was daunting. The winning team coached by Heynckes seemed to be back. During the coaching of Nagelsmann and Tuchel, Bayern Munich spent two seasons in a state of confusion. Now they are back to the top again, thanks entirely to the huge changes brought about by the British gang led by Kompany.

Kompany's tactical philosophy is conducive to Kane's performance. Olise's progress in the past two seasons has been eye-catching. Luis Dias's adaptation speed and high efficiency have exceeded expectations. There has been a good chemical reaction between the Premier League coach and the players.

Last season, Bayern Munich not only won the league championship, but also achieved a double win over Leverkusen in the Champions League. Kompany proved himself in his first season coaching the giants. The arrival of Kane and Olise helped Bayern Munich regain Bundesliga hegemony, and with the addition of Luis Dias and Jackson, the Southern Star has the capital to compete for the championship on multiple fronts.

Musiala is absent, Bayern Munich's firepower output has not been affected.

The British gang replaced "German FC", and Bayern Munich regained the commanding heights of European football tactics. As a young coach who studied under Guardiola, Kompany relied on the British combination to replicate the offensive football of the Heynckes era. Bayern Munich's running ability has returned to the top level of the Bundesliga. The high-level frontcourt combination can always turn the advantage of the situation into a victory.

Bayern's ability to control the field is still lagging behind Europe's top teams. Their advantage lies in their strong vertical impact. Kane's presence allows them to always have the last laugh in the "mutual stabbing". As the leader of the "Premier League Gang", Kane has ball-handling and passing skills comparable to those of a Latin attacking midfielder, and his finishing ability in front of the goal is unique among the five major leagues. Luis Dias and Olise formed two wings with complementary styles. Gnabry broke out in the contract year at the right time. The collective strength of Bayern's forward line is frightening.

After Kompany's guidance, Bischof has established a firm foothold in Bayern's rotation.

In this era where the Bundesliga supplies the Premier League, Bayern Munich demonstrates its ambitions by operating in reverse. The frontcourt relies on the Premier League stars to implement dimensionality reduction attacks, and Kompany relies on forward-looking employment and tactical design to bond Bayern Munich's midfield and backfield. After Kimmich renewed his contract, Kompany fixed Boe at the right back position, and the Frenchman lived up to the young coach's expectations. Laimer's performance as a versatile backcourt player is still stable and efficient. Bischoff conquered the fans in just 7 games. The regret left by Palinha has been completely made up for.

[Bayern's defense has hidden dangers, and the Yellow and Black Legion has a chance]

Bayern Munich swept Liuhe with a minimum consumption of 4 goals per game, but their defense is not stable. Stuttgart, Augsburg, Wiesbaden, Chelsea and Hoffenheim can all break Neuer's goal, and Dortmund will certainly have a chance too. Jonatan Tower was elected to the team committee shortly after joining, and Pamecano's performance has also stabilized. The hidden danger in Bayern's central defender position is the lack of depth. Kim Min-jae has now been reduced to the third central defender, and there is the possibility of leaving the team on loan in the winter window.

Since the coaching change in the middle of last season, Dortmund has gradually become one of the best teams in Europe. Not only can they score points steadily against mid-to-lower teams, but their performance against strong opponents (Barcelona & Real Madrid) is equally impressive. Dortmund achieved a record of 4 wins and 2 draws in the first 6 rounds. Top scorer Gilasi scored 4 goals, accounting for 33% of the team's goals. This late-blooming striker has continued his hot streak for two seasons. In the past national team match day, Gilasi bid farewell to the Guinea national team early due to injury, but he can catch up with the German national derby.

In addition to Gilasi, Bayern Munich should also pay attention to Adeyemi, Nmega, Baier, Fabio Silva, Daniel Svensson and Chukwu Emeka. The yellow and black stars have all made progress under Nico Kovac. If Gilasi, who has just arrived at the age of 25, can no longer attract the attention of top clubs, and Adeyemi still needs time to prove his stability, then 25-year-old Schlotterbeck may become the next high-priced star to generate revenue for the Yellow and Black Legion.

With the accumulation of game experience, Schlotterbeck has become the anchor of Dortmund's backcourt. His defense is solid and his passing is accurate. His long-distance connection with Gilasi can always create chaos in the opponent's defense. For Niko Kovac, who is good at changing formations, Schloterbeck is not only the gate of the defense and the launching point of the attack, but also an important coordinate when adjusting the formation structure..

After Niko Kovac took office, he mainly played in the 4231 formation. Dortmund's record has fluctuated greatly. When Niko Kovac decided to switch to a three-centre-back formation, the Yellow and Black Legion immediately changed their appearance. Not only did they become the first Bundesliga team in the past two decades to counterattack from the bottom half and finally qualify for the Champions League, they also left many famous games in the European War and Club World Cup. The league's unbeaten record has reached 14 games. In the process of this change of formation, Gilasi and Schlotterback became the biggest beneficiaries. The former has maintained an efficiency of averaging 1 goal per game for a long time, and the latter has shown the temperament of a top backcourt operator. The strong central axis has become Dortmund's core competitiveness.

[The "six-point battle" attracts attention, and a new Bundesliga pattern is taking shape]

After the operation of the 2025 summer window, Leverkusen's championship lineup has disintegrated, but the suspense of the Bundesliga title battle has not disappeared. According to the latest Bundesliga team value list announced by Dezhuan, Bayern Munich (952 million euros) is almost twice as much as Dortmund (501 million euros). The gap between the two teams at the actual combat level is not that big. Kompany's team is star-studded, and the Yellow and Black Legion also has its own opinions on overall football.

Nico Kovac is experienced and knows his old club very well. Dortmund's outstanding performance in the Bundesliga and the Champions League is obvious to all. They have replaced Leverkusen as Bayern Munich's biggest opponent in the Bundesliga. This confrontation is not only related to the ownership of the championship this season, but will also have a profound impact on the Bundesliga championship pattern in the next few years.
