The biggest question facing every WNBA team in training camp
WNBA training camps open with key questions for each team.
Bayern Munich is set to face Real Madrid in the Champions League second leg after a 5-0 Bundesliga victory and a 2-1 win in the first leg. Leon Goretzka insists the team does not need warnings about overconfidence as they aim for a semifinal spot.

With Bayern Munichâs comprehensive 5-0 win at St. Pauli and Borussia Dortmundâs loss to Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend, the Bundesliga title is essentially wrapped up. The German Rekordmeister have been in the top spot of the league table virtually all season and will be more than deserving of lifting yet another Meisterschale next month.
Thereâs still other silverware to win, though, and Bayern have the small matter of winning a second leg against Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena to secure advancement to the Champions League semifinals for the first time since 2023/24 season, where it was the La Liga giants that knocked them out over the course of two legs and beat Dortmund in the final at Wembley.
With the evidence on display from the first leg that Bayern won 2-1 at the BernabĂ©u, thereâs no reason to suggest that Vincent Kompanyâs men canât get the job done in Munich, as they very easily couldâve scored more than twice. However, it was a world class performance from Manuel Neuer that held Alvaro Arbeloaâs side to only one goal and former club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has warned Bayern not to bee too overconfident of the second leg.
After the win at the Millerntor-Stadion vs. St. Pauli on Saturday, Leon Goretzka offered a reply to Rummeniggeâs call for wariness. âWe donât need to be warned. We know exactly who weâre playing against and what kind of game it is. We saw in the first leg how quickly they can create chances. So nobody needs to warn us. Weâre aware of that ourselves,â the scorer of Bayernâs record-breaking 102nd goal of the season confidently told Bild (via @iMiaSanMia).
Goretzka and Bayern will be more than well aware of the threats that Madrid pose, particularly on the counter attack, where they found most of their joy in the first leg through VinĂcius Junior and Kylian MbappĂ©. Arbeloa will also be without AurĂ©lien TchouamĂ©ni for the second leg through cumulative yellow cards suspension, and Bayern will remember how much more of a foothold Madrid were able to have in the second half of leg one when Jude Bellingham and Ăder MilitĂŁo entered proceedings, the former of which replaced Thiago Pinar, but could start in place of TchouamĂ©ni Tuesday night.
Either way, itâs incredibly hard to argue against Bayernâs current form and momentum, despite the history this fixture holds and Real Madridâs uncanny ability to produce remarkable remontadas. Itâs all to play for and both teams donât need extra explaining of whatâs at stake.
