Bayern Munich's Konrad Laimer says Pafos FC is 'good team with good principles'

"We prepared meticulously for our opponents, we observed every phase of their play. They're a good team with good principles. If they're given plenty of time and space, they can hurt us at any phase. We have to bring our performance to the pitch at all times, it's the Champions League after all."

"It's the Champions League. We've had enough time to prepare. But we're focusing on ourselves; the most important thing is to bring our intensity onto the pitch, and then we'll get the three points. Maybe the weather is a bit warmer here in Cyprus than at home, but that's not a problem."

"He's incredible, he's scored 100 goals with almost the same number of games. It's impressive when you see how he works, the work he puts in behind the scenes - it's great to see someone achieve that level of success. Harry is outstanding as a guy and outstanding as a footballer, and he should keep it up."

Konrad Laimer emphasizes meticulous preparation for Pafos FC, noting the coaching staff analyzed strengths, weaknesses and every phase of play. He warns that Pafos can cause damage if given time and space and insists Bayern must sustain high intensity throughout a Champions League match. The team plans to focus on its own performance and to convert that intensity into three points despite warmer conditions in Cyprus. Bayern has won eight of eight matches this season and aims to maintain momentum. Laimer praises Harry Kane’s clinical output and behind-the-scenes work after Kane reached 100 goals, calling him outstanding on and off the pitch.
