Bayern Munich's emphatic 10-0 victory over Auckland City in their opening match of the FIFA Club World Cup was a historic moment, marking the largest win in the tournament's history. However, manager Vincent Kompany is keen to ensure that his team doesn't become complacent following such a dominant performance. As they prepare for their next Group C match against Boca Juniors, Kompany emphasizes the need to maintain focus and respect their upcoming opponents.

The match against Auckland City showcased Bayern's attacking prowess, with goals coming from Kingsley Coman (2), Michael Olise (2), Sacha Boey, Thomas Müller (2), and a hat-trick from Jamal Musiala. While the result was a clear demonstration of Bayern's quality, Kompany understands that it doesn't necessarily reflect the challenges they will face against stronger teams in the competition.

Speaking ahead of the game against Boca Juniors, Kompany acknowledged the Argentinian team's strengths, particularly their ability in transition. He noted that Boca Juniors possess a strong team spirit and a belief in their moments, making them a dangerous opponent. Despite the resounding victory over Auckland City, Kompany is under no illusions that Bayern can simply expect another easy win.

Kompany also highlighted the importance of integrating Jamal Musiala and Dayot Upamecano back into the squad after their recent injuries. Musiala, who had an impressive season in the Bundesliga, demonstrated his sharpness by scoring a hat-trick against Auckland City after coming off the bench. Kompany recognizes the need to carefully manage their return to ensure they are fully fit and integrated into the team's tactics.

Bayern Munich is aiming to win their third Club World Cup title, and Kompany is determined to instill a winning mentality within his squad. He emphasized the need for Bayern to focus on their own qualities and bring their best game to the pitch, regardless of the opponent. While acknowledging the potential for the match against Boca Juniors to feel like an away game, Kompany wants his team to embrace their identity as Bayern Munich and demonstrate the right emotion on the field.

The Bayern Munich manager is also familiar with the Argentinian style of play, with many players from the country plying their trade in European leagues. This familiarity should help Bayern prepare for the challenges that Boca Juniors will pose. Overall, Kompany's message is clear: the 10-0 win over Auckland City was a positive start, but it is crucial to avoid complacency and approach the match against Boca Juniors with the right attitude and preparation.
