It's sure to be magnificent! We're already really looking forward to 1 April and our third game of the season at the Allianz Arena. We'll need the support of every single fan in the stands as we battle for a place in the Champions League semi-finals. After Leverkusen and Arsenal, we want to get our third win in the third game at the Allianz Arena and it'll definitely be a cracker against Manchester United or Atlético Madrid.
Jamal Musiala is back - now wearing number 10 for FC Bayern and the German national team. In a long history of special players, he represents a position that is designed to create unique moments and goals - precisely because it constantly reinvents freedom in football.. There are shirt numbers in football that are just digits on the team sheet. And there's the 10: not a number, but a promise - of creativity, technical skill and magical moments.
The Spaniard has a contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2027, but according to The Telegraph, there is a growing feeling that this could be Guardiola's final season at the club. While Pep has honoured contracts in every club he has managed, the possibility of him leaving at the end of the season cannot be ruled out. The report claims that Man City are planning a three-man shortlist with former Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso leading the way.
We have multiple stories on Upamecano's contract situation. To recap, the French defender is under contract at Bayern through the end of the season and has not signed a new deal. There have been a lot of talks behind the scenes to reach an agreement, and Bayern were confident at one point that a deal would be struck. Bayern have set a deadline for Upamecano to come to a decision, but as it stands, there has been no breakthrough.
Hamburg started the game with a bang and created several early chances, with Kim Min-jae putting up a decent block to deny Fabio Vieira. Moments later, Luka Vuskovic could not divert a free header from the corner. It took a while for Bayern to get going, but after the opening ten minutes, Vincent Kompany's men found the control that we generally associate with them. Aleksandar Pavlovic found Michael Olise inside the box with a delightful pass, but the Frenchman could only hit the keeper.
