Bayern Munich

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.

Adin Ličina has left Bayern to join Juventus.

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.

The past three years have flown by so quickly, and it's incredible what I've been able to experience during this time. I've made lifelong friends, I've gotten to know and love a new country and a new city. We've celebrated great successes together and emerged stronger from setbacks. There have been tears of joy and tears of disappointment. But above all, there is an incredible gratitude for three wonderful years full of emotions, victories, support, friendship, and love. Thank you to FC Bayern and everyone at this club for this amazing time, thank you to the best fans for your incredible support, and above all, thank you to my team - I will always carry you in my heart.

Bayern Munich are expected to strengthen the defense in the summer transfer window. The plans for summer will largely depend on what happens with the futures of Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae. Die Roten had identified Marc Guehi as a potential option to strengthen the defense in the summer since his contract at Crystal Palace was set to expire at the end of the season. Bayern chiefs held talks with the English defender, but Manchester City made their move in January

Eberl had a mixed two years in his tenure. His first big task was finding a successor to Thomas Tuchel. Bayern missed out on several first-choice options. Eberl eventually went ahead by hiring Vincent Kompany as the new head coach of Bayern. The Belgian head coach hit the ground running at Die Roten, guiding the club to a Bundesliga title. Eberl has also done well with several transfers like Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, and Jonathan Tah.

Koln started the brighter of the two sides and would have taken the lead inside of two minutes were it not for a fine save from Manuel Neuer against Said El Mala, who shot from close range. Bayern eventually began to settle into a rhythm but, against the run of play, the hosts took the lead after 41 minutes when Koln winger Linton Maina was afforded too much space on the counterattack.

There are many reasons. The entire club, the environment and everything offered here convinced me to stay for more years. That played a big role, especially the last couple of years, in which I've felt very at home. I've experienced many wonderful moments here, like my first championship, but also difficult times due to injuries, during which the club provided invaluable support. Therefore it quickly became clear to me that I wanted to stay for two more years.

What an honour for Franziska Kett! The FC Bayern Women defender has been named the Elite Student of the Year in Munich by the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB), in partnership with the German Savings Banks Association (DSGV). Kett was selected out of several young female and male athletes in a vote with representatives of the schools and the Olympic centre.

That said, Lennart Karl has been scoring at a similar rate in his young Champions League career so far, with three goals in five outings. The 17-year-old attacker is now on the verge of another milestone: should he feature on Wednesday, it will be his sixth Champions League appearance before his 18th birthday. That would draw him level with Julian Draxler in this statistic, with only Youssoufa Moukoko having made more appearances in Europe's elite competition before turning 18 (eight).
