""I'm very happy with the win today," Gnabry said (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). "It was a very, very tough game. Sporting plays really good football and didn't make it easy for us. The credit goes to our set-piece coach. It was a great block from Harry, who could have gone up for the ball himself, but then blocked his man, leaving me completely unmarked.""
"Set-pieces have been the bane of Bayern's existence (see Union Berlin away twice and Arsenal away), and any set-piece attacking the Bavarians' goal almost always feels like an automatic goal. There's a sense of dread whenever Bayern gives a set-piece up but if what Gnabry said was anything to go by, then it's a step in the right direction for the club."
"Bayern Munich overcame Sporting CP 3-1, with Joshua Kimmich's own goal igniting the fire within the hosts who roared into life with goals from Serge Gnabry, Lennart Karl, and Jonathan Tah. Speaking after the match, Gnabry said he was happy with the win and pointed to an unlikely hero for his goal."
Bayern Munich defeated Sporting CP 3-1 after Joshua Kimmich's own goal and subsequent strikes from Serge Gnabry, Lennart Karl, and Jonathan Tah turned the match. Serge Gnabry expressed satisfaction with the win and attributed his goal to a setup from the set-piece coach and a crucial block by Harry that left him unmarked. Defensive vulnerabilities on set-pieces have troubled Bayern in recent matches, including at Union Berlin and Arsenal. Improved execution on attacking set-pieces offers a corrective path, and additional Bayern and German national team coverage is available via Bavarian Podcast Works on major platforms.
