"The rain was pouring down on him and yet he was beaming: after FC Bayern's 3-0 win at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Jonas Urbig couldn't stop grinning. "For me as a former Köln player, it was a small derby win today," the 22-year-old revealed. Urbig spent his entire youth at 1. FC Köln, arch-rivals of Borussia Mönchengladbach, before joining FC Bayern a good ten months ago."
"There he stood, arm in arm with Manuel Neuer, whom he'd replaced in the record champions' goal for the first time this season in the Bundesliga, in front of the visitors' stand at Borussia Park, celebrating the emphatic win with the fans. "We were a man up for a long time, were patient, kept going and deserved to score in the second half," Urbig later concluded. "It was fun to be on the pitch with the team. The lads also made it easy for me.""
"For Urbig, the thoroughly successful Saturday afternoon kicked off an extraordinary week. On Wednesday, FC Bayern travel to Urbig's boyhood club 1. FC Köln in the second round of the DFB Cup. Urbig will once again be in goal for the Reds in the clash with his former club - Manuel Neuer is still suspended in the cup competition due to being shown a red card last season."
Jonas Urbig, 22, kept a clean sheet as FC Bayern beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0, celebrating with teammates and fans despite heavy rain. Urbig replaced Manuel Neuer in goal for the first time this Bundesliga season and praised the team's patience and deserved second-half goal. Urbig spent his youth at 1. FC Köln, made 11 senior appearances for Köln and won the U17 domestic championship in 2019 before joining Bayern ten months ago. Manuel Neuer remains suspended for the DFB Cup, so Urbig will start when Bayern visit 1. FC Köln in the cup second round.
