At the An der Alten Försterei, Union Berlin will approach the match with hunger and tactical discipline, while Bayern Munich arrives expecting control and attacking firepower.

But Bayern remain one of Europe’s most complete sides, combining pace, creativity, and clinical finishing to break down even stubborn defenses.
