The Bundesliga is back this weekend, and one of the biggest games of matchweek 23 is Bayern Munich hosting Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.
Bayern Munich is first with 57 points after 22 league matches, and Frankfurt is 7th with 31 points after 22 league matches. The Bayern Munich team had to face heavy snowy conditions during a training session ahead of the match against Frankfurt.
The snow did not stop the team from training, and Bayern manager Vincent Kompany was present during the training session, but advised players to take it easy due to the conditions to avoid injuries.
Kompany spoke about the heavy snow conditions during the training session and said, "We resolved it very quickly, we didn't continue training as planned because it would have been too dangerous. Nevertheless, we did our runs and did everything we wanted physically."
