Rouven Sattelmaier

Almost every player at FC Bayern has developed into a diligent title collector in the past few decades. However, some Munichers actually managed to leave the club without a trophy.

After being eliminated from the DFB Cup and the Champions League, FC Bayern is no longer in control of winning the Bundesliga title. Due to a 1:3 defeat by Munich against RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund can bag the championship with a win against Mainz on the last day of the game.

For FCB it would be the first season without a title since 2012. At that time they also had to give way to BVB in the league and in the cup, in the premier class they unfortunately failed in the “final at home” at Chelsea.

A total of nine players (Yann Sommer, Daley Blind, Matthijs de Ligt, João Cancelo, Noussair Mazraoui, Ryan Gravenberch, Arijon Ibrahimovic, Sadio Mané and Mathys Tel) could now join the untitled Bayern players in the summer.

Only eleven other players have “made it” since the turn of the millennium. SPOX and GOAL have presented the untitled FCB players since 2000.

Sattelmaier did not go beyond nominations for the professional squad at Bayern and instead played for the reserve. Also played five times in the 2nd division for Heidenheim. “I’ll probably go down in history as the first player who played for Bayern Munich for two years and didn’t win a single important title,” he later said in an interview SPOX and GOALS.

After retiring, Sattelmaier became goalkeeper coach at Sonnenhof Großaspach. He is still active there today.
