"When you play against such an opponent and they start playing for time from the 45th minute onwards, which was partly not penalized, then that's respect enough [they've shown us]. Yes, [they were wasting time] from the 45th minute onwards. (Aleksandar) Pavlović is obviously injured - I wish him all the best. But he lay down for two minutes. And then the ball was played, and then he lay down again. That's how he wasted time so he can make a substitution. That's not fair play. But I'm not accusing the guy; I hope he gets well soon,"
Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl has done a lot during his relatively brief time with the club, but if he had to pick one move above them all, it would be the signing of Michael Olise.

Both outfits are interested in the 27-year-old because he's currently on track to be a free agent next year.
Jonah Kusi-Asare is the kind of striker every club tries to find nowadays. Huge, lanky but deceptively quick, smooth on the ball and possessing the technical skills of a much smaller players, the young Swede drew the attention of many big clubs at AIK Fotboll before Bayern Munich snatched him up for a big fee. Kusi-Asare struggled to impose himself in Bayerns youth teams, occasionally demonstrating his immense potential but too often going unnoticed during matches.
