7 August: Bayern overcome Villa

Germany's record champions ended their Asia tour with a 2-1 victory over UEFA Europa League winners Aston Villa.

Josip Stanišić on Nathaniel Brown's arrival

"My goal is to play as many matches as possible and stay fit. My role hasn't changed. When Hiroki [Ito] arrived – and he can play in that position too – it was up to me to make the coach's decision a difficult one. As a team, it's great to have another strong player in the squad."

Kompany on Hong Kong

"It's a magnificent stadium, definitely different from the one I played in [on Manchester City's pre-season tour 13 years ago]. I've really enjoyed coming here. I've been here on holiday before, and I like the place very much. I'm delighted to be here as Bayern coach."

Kompany on Friday's game

"We want to win, but the most important thing is our fitness and attitude - much more so than how both teams will perform later in the season."

Kompany on the 2026/27 campaign

"It's difficult to improve. After all, it's not just about the trophies we've won, but also about the number of goals and matches we've won. It's possible, but difficult. Right now, I'd say our aim is to win the Champions League. To win the Bundesliga, the DFB Cup and the Champions League, we need the whole squad to be fit and healthy."

"They are a top side with a very good coach [Unai Emery]. They have a large squad and will field plenty of talent. They've already played more friendlies than us, but for us it’s a good challenge. It’s a match in which we’ll learn a lot about our team’s fitness."

'Typical' of Basti

“The way Basti scored that goal was typical of him,” Bayern boss Vincent Kompany said of Assomo. “There are still many aspects of his game he needs to improve, but for a 16-year-old forward of his size, it’s really impressive that he can strike a ball like that.”

Praise for Assomo

Bayern teenager Bastian Assomo has received glowing praise from team-mate Tom Bischof following his winning goal against Jeju SK on Tuesday. “He’s a very good footballer - a classic centre-forward who scores goals, which is what we need,” said Bischof. “The way he controls the ball is incredible for his age, and he’s a superb finisher too.”

5 August: Bound for Hong Kong

After wrapping up the South Korea leg of their Audi Summer Tour, Bayern Munich are jetting off to Hong Kong, where they are due to land later on Wednesday. Stick around for updates on the Bundesliga champions' trip to the Pearl of the Orient.

"Both teams put a lot of energy into the game," said the tactician at his post-match press conference. "They showed that you can turn a friendly into a really competitive contest. It was interesting because we got to see a number of players who don't usually get as much game time. Overall, it was a positive performance with good intensity and, importantly, no injuries."
