"Nor will this match have helped at all. Urbig impressed with his long passing and kept a clean sheet while Nübel flapped at multiple shots, was at fault for the Bundesliga champions' 3rd goal and conceded 5 in total. Bayern's board member for sport, Max Eberl, was asked by German news site SID about Nübel's shaky performance after the match and had this to say:"
""Alex Nübel has shown very good performances at VfB," Eberl insisted, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "Today, one or two things didn't work out so well, but he still remains an outstanding goalkeeper." He was never going to say anything truly critical publicly. What would be the point of that? But how much this match impacted Eberl's opinion of Bayern's post-Neuer plans behind closed doors? That is the real question and the answer may yet be revealed through Bayern's decision making in the 2026 summer transfer window."
Jonas Urbig started in goal for Bayern Munich against VfB Stuttgart and delivered an impressive performance characterized by long passing and a clean sheet. Alexander Nübel, a Bayern signing from 2020 intended as Manuel Neuer's successor, conceded five goals and was at fault for the champions' third, failing to strengthen his claim after four years of loan spells. A public response described Nübel as having shown very good performances at VfB, acknowledged one or two mistakes in the match, and maintained that he remains an outstanding goalkeeper. Bayern's long-term goalkeeper plans may hinge on transfer decisions in 2026.
