FC Bayern, News: Flap breakdown in the Allianz Arena

In Bayern’s 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen, a curious glitch occurred at half-time. Since the flap door that closes the players’ tunnel could not be opened, everyone involved had to take a detour around a corner of the stadium.

“With the flap? What a flap? Oh, it didn’t open. I actually thought it was really cool because the fans celebrated us. I don’t know why it was broken now either,” said Bayern star Leon Goretzka after the game about the defect.

Thomas Müller joked during the break when asked about the picturewhether FC Bayern are now breaking new ground: “We questioned everything.”

By the way, the flap worked again after the game.

FCB, News: Nagelsmann had a premonition

FC Bayern Munich has freed itself from the crisis for the time being with its first win after four Bundesliga games without three points. Coach Julian Nagelsmann also seemed relaxed. Also because he already had a certain premonition in the dressing room.

“Oddly enough, I said in the dressing room: If we have a chance in the third minute, please take it. We did that,” said the Bayern coach DAZN. No sooner said than done: Leroy Sane scored in the 3rd minute to make it 1-0.

“A win is always important, but today it was of course particularly important in terms of results. I also liked the way it was done. A lot has been written about the relationship between the coach and the team. You have a good feeling about whether the team follows you when she comes out of the dressing room. Every player was fully involved today and the passion was right. That was very satisfying,” the 35-year-old continued.

Sadio Mane, who scored in the 39th minute to make it 3-0, ended his doldrums. “We’ve let him play on the left in the last few games to get him into the rhythm,” explained Nagelsmann: “He had a difficult time in the center and then as a coaching team you have to make sure that a player finds his rhythm. He played well and scored an important goal.”

Unlike FC Bayern, the game exacerbated the situation at Bayer Leverkusen, who could only collect five points in eight Bundesliga games. “Everyone has to ask themselves whether they’ve given everything or whether they can do more. I hope everyone is honest with themselves. We lose games in a way that’s brutal,” said Kerem Demirbay.

FC Bayern, News: Oliver Kahn comments on the Dreesen departure

Jan-Christian Dreesen, longtime CFO of FC Bayern, will leave the club in the summer of 2023 at his own request. CEO Oliver Kahn regrets the departure.
