Eberl: We will play against Borussia Monchengladbach just like we did against No. 2. We decided to give Karl and other young players a chance in the summer.

At 21:30 on October 25, in the 8th round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga season, Bayern will play against Monchengladbach away from home. Before the game, Bayern sports director Eberl attended the press conference. He talked about some of the team's current situation.

About the situation in the league standings

- I know the opponent and this game is always the most important of the season. It's pure tradition and it's going to be a very exciting game. We have to be as focused as we are playing against the second-placed team.

Regarding young talent

- We decided in the summer to give Mike, Lennart Carr and Chiara a chance. Lennart Karl had a great performance against Club Brugge, but he must continue to work hard. Obviously we're counting on the academy and the academy is doing a really good job. We have a lot of players training regularly with the first team and, of course, we would like more, but it's not about aspirations, it's about hard work.

About Gladbach

- Of course I follow it closely, I was there for 23 years and both clubs are very dear to me. They have good people like Schröder (Mönchengladbach director) and Polanski (Mönchengladbach interim coach). I hope they get points from Sunday and move on, that's my blessing for them.

Are you satisfied with the current situation?

- We set some goals over the summer and I'm happy that things we were sure of over the summer are going so well. Kompany's contract extension is also an important cornerstone, and we feel that the decision made makes our current situation very stable. This is not contentment, this is the result of our joint efforts. But we still want to win and want more.
