"We will always remember the 'Flowers of Manchester'. Particularly at a time in which divisive forces are threatening social cohesion and democratic values in Europe and across the world, it's our joint legacy that the 'Flowers of Manchester' never be allowed to wither."
"When we speak today about the 'Flowers of Manchester', we speak not just about a football team. We speak about people, about fates - and about the fact that at a time when the wounds of the Second World War had not yet healed, Manchester United and FC Bayern became symbols that you can find common ground again."
"To this day, this story represents how football is far more than a game."
Herbert Hainer laid a wreath at the Manchester United memorial for the Munich air disaster victims, emphasizing the importance of remembrance. He highlighted the enduring bond between FC Bayern and Manchester United, stating that both clubs symbolize finding common ground post-World War II. Hainer noted that the relationship between the two clubs has remained strong over the years, representing how football transcends mere sport. This visit marks the first time FC Bayern has honored the memorial at Old Trafford, a significant gesture in their shared history.
