FC Bayern, News: Lothar Matthäus believes in Mané sale

Lothar Matthäus has spoken to the South African television station Great sports flash about the future of last year’s star transfer from FC Bayern Munich. He criticized Sadio Mané that his performance was not “like it was in Liverpool two years ago”. Signing him as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski was a “mistake”.

In any case, the record national player does not believe in Mané’s long-term stay in Munich. “I think the relationship between Bayern Munich and Mané is over after the game at the weekend,” he explained, “Bayern will find a way to make him happy.” He also has a firm idea for the vacated squad place: it should be used “for a young player”.

FC Bayern, News: Daniil Medvedev keeps his fingers crossed

Before Daniil Medvedev tackles the mission of a second Grand Slam title in Paris, the tennis professional will focus on the championship race in the Bundesliga. “I train at two, so I can at least see the second half. I love following and supporting Bayern Munich,” said the avowed supporter of the record champion before the start of the French Open on Sunday.

Medvedev has not yet given up hope of winning the eleventh Bayern title in a row. “Hopefully they still make it, but of course it now depends more on Borussia Dortmund,” said the second in the world rankings: “I would be disappointed if they didn’t make it.”

The 2021 US Open winner will then focus on his own sport again. After his tournament victory at the ATP Masters in Rome, Medvedev (27), not exactly known as a clay court lover, is one of the favorites in Roland Garros.

FC Bayern, News: Coman before the first non-championship

When Matchday 34 is over, Kingsley Coman could have an unfamiliar feeling: For the first time in his professional life, he may not celebrate the championship after the last matchday. His teams have won the title every year since he started playing professional football.

In 2013 and 2014 he won with Paris Saint-Germain in France, in 2015 with Juventus in Italy – and since 2016 he has been involved in championships four to ten in Bayern’s current successful series. If BVB wins the championship, there is nothing to celebrate for the “King” for the first time.

FC Bayern, News: Bayern’s women’s player also hopes to celebrate with the men

Klara Bühl is hoping for a joint championship celebration at Marienplatz with the men from Bayern Munich on Sunday. “We believe in the boys and keep our fingers crossed for them so that we can stand on the balcony together,” said the FC Bayern striker, referring to the men’s season finale on Saturday: “It would be a dream with the fans at Marienplatz to celebrate.”

But the FCB women also have to do their homework for this. With a win on Sunday (2:00 p.m.) against the already relegated bottom Turbine Potsdam, the Munich team can secure the championship title for the fifth time in a long-distance duel with VfL Wolfsburg.

“The motivation is of course incredibly high. It’s about becoming a champion or not,” said Bühl. Every player is aware of this – especially after the last matchday, when Bayern lost the first match point after going 0-0 at Bayer Leverkusen. Potsdam will give everything in “the last Bundesliga game for the time being,” she added: “They won’t give us anything.”

FC Bayern Munich: Expected line-up on matchday 34

Summer – Pavard, Upamecano, de Ligt, João Cancelo – Kimmich, Goretzka – Coman, Müller, Musiala – Gnabry

After the weak performance against Leipzig, Dayot Upamecano could move into the defensive chain for Noussair Mazraoui. In addition, Serge Gnabry should probably be in demand again as a center forward after the attempt with Thomas Müller went wrong. He is expected to join Kingsley Coman and Jamal Musiala behind Gnabry, but Leroy Sané could also play for one of them.
