With Oktoberfest in full swing, Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich welcomes Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen for a game which could shape the Bundesliga. Bayern’s players, including Harry Kane, dropped in at Oktoberfest in traditional lederhosen outfits on Sunday and had plenty to celebrate after scoring 20 goals in their last three games.

The Bayern job is the chance for Kompany, whose Burnley team was relegated from the English Premier League last season, to show he belongs at this level, too. It was a turning point in last season’s title race, and not just in terms of the points table. Bayern wasn’t just outplayed. Its then-coach Thomas Tuchel was out-thought by Alonso’s tactical tweaks. From then on, all the momentum was with Leverkusen.
