Bayern Munich stumbled to a 0-0 draw against FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga on 5 September 2026. The result meant the German champions failed to secure a fourth consecutive victory at the start of the season, dropping two points against the newly-promoted side.
Manager Vincent Kompany, aged 40, watched a disappointing performance from his team. According to the report by Bild, Bayern managed just four shots in the first half. Although they accumulated over two expected goals (xG) throughout the match, they failed to convert their chances. Forward Luis Díaz missed several good opportunities. Schalke goalkeeper Loris Karius, meanwhile, had a relatively quiet evening.
How did the match unfold for Bayern?
The Bavarians never really found their rhythm. Yahoo Sports described the display as "dour" and noted the team "struggled to get out of second gear". Alongside Díaz, substitute attackers Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, and Michael Olise also failed to make an impact."Welche drei Münchner die Note 5 kassieren, lesen Sie nur mit BILDplus!", the Belgian said. Detailed individual criticism thus remained behind a paywall. The team must now look ahead quickly. The next competitive fixture is just a few days away.
