Kompany anticipates a key match: "Boca will be the highlight of the group."

After Bayern Munich's crushing 10-0 thrashing of Auckland City in their Club World Cup debut, the German team made it clear they didn't come to the United States just to perform. Following the historic result, coach Vincent Kompany has already set his sights on his next opponent: Boca Juniors.

"The next match against Boca Juniors will be the highlight of the group stage," warned the Belgian coach, emphasizing the importance of the clash with Xeneize . Beyond respect, he made it clear that Bayern will come out with the same intensity they showed against the New Zealand team.

Excited about the match, Kompany also highlighted the symbolic appeal of the clash: “A traditional European club against a traditional South American club . Even if I weren't Bayern's coach, I would attend this match. It will be special .”

The thrashing of Auckland represented the largest goal difference in the tournament's history. Despite the lopsided scoreline, Kompany praised his charges' professionalism: "Job done. We played a serious game. We did what we had to do. Perhaps goal difference is important in the group, so winning by 10 goals was important."

Beyond the match itself, the German coach highlighted a specific fact: the return of one of his key players. “When the opponent drops back, it's not common to score 10 goals. The highlight for me was the way Jamal Musiala returned . It's a good foundation for the rest of the tournament.”

Bayern Munich will face Boca Juniors in their second Group C match on Friday at 10 p.m. They will then close out the opening round against Benfica on Tuesday, June 24 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
