The 3 games ahead of Bayern Munich are all tough games for them. First they will face Frankfurt who are just below them in the Bundesliga standings, second they will face Stuttgart who although on paper are on Bayern Munich's side, but they can give a surprise, and lastly they will face Barcelona in the Champions League. Focusing on their match against Barcelona, actually they have a good record when facing Barcelona, but Barcelona is also in good shape now, so this will be a tough game for both teams. On the other hand Barcelona will also definitely try hard to improve their meeting record with Bayern Munich.

IMO, domestic matches do not put any pressure on Munich. It is clear that Kompany is starting to know what strategy is suitable to use to maintain his position in the UCL and in the Bundesliga standings.
To face Barcelona later, Munich is still favored because in H2H both teams always have very clear results that Munich can always beat Barcelona. And currently in terms of player quality, Munich is far superior.
So this will be an interesting match without having to worry about the results obtained by Munich.

I don't think so, because even though in the domestic league they can be said to have found their game well, it will still be a pressure for them, especially if the opponent has a strength that is not much different from them. We can see when they hosted Leverkusen which ended in a draw, on paper they were indeed favored but still they could not win the match even though they dominated the game. Other teams will learn from Leverkusen how they can get points when facing Bayern Munich. For Bayern Munich a draw already feels like a defeat, because they now have the status of the biggest team, even though in the last season they had to fail, but still that does not reduce their status as a big team.
