Choupo-Moting scored eleven goals in 16 competitive games. He prepared three more. “No one saw this coming. He’s incredible,” said O’Hagan.

FC Bayern, News: scandal in the game of FCB amateurs
The Munich duel between Türkgücü and Bayern’s reserves ended prematurely on Saturday.
The game played in Heimstetten had to be stopped in the first half for security reasons – as FC Bayern announced on Twitter “because of an unauthorized poster in the guest block and a subsequent police operation”.
As the tz reported, the game had to be interrupted just a few minutes after kick-off because Türkgücü representatives wanted to hang a banner. The banner showed a Kurdish flag and the words “FC Bayern Fanclub Kurdistan” and was therefore a provocation for the Turkish hosts. Police officers stepped in and the teams were sent to the booths. Although the teams returned briefly, the game was no longer continued.
