Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany commented on his team's 1-2 defeat to Mainz in the 14th round of the German Bundesliga.
Vincent Kompany for Bayern & Germany
We played against a team with a lot of life and spirit and who was prepared to fight for every moment. Today we weren't at our best. We'll use the defeat today to build fire into the game on Friday (at home to RB Leipzig) because that's the only way we can provide an answer.
Under Kompany's leadership, Bayern are currently the leaders of the German championship, sitting at the top of the Bundesliga table with 33 points after 14 matches.
It is noteworthy that Bayern will host Leipzig at their home ground in the upcoming Bundesliga match this Friday. The start is scheduled for 22:30 GMT+3.
Earlier, Bayern announced that the number 5 jersey, worn by the legendary captain and coach Franz Beckenbauer, will no longer be used by the team.
