Until a few months ago, I would have answered Granit Xhaka,

Having had a more pleasant than usual reception, more tweaks to the jersey have been leaked once again. The kit has been expected to stick with the traditional Bayern red with a darker tone pinstripe design. If you liked the pinstripes very much, you might be a tad disappointed as they are not going to be on the entirety of the kit.

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.

"One thing is clear: the most important thing in football is what the coach does with the team," declared Bayern's Head of Nutrition. "Nutrition is a supportive little gear. Our task is to integrate scientific findings into everyday life. Not too big, but in such a way that they support the goal," Carstensen said.

Manuel Neuer's expiring Bayern Munich contract is continuing to make for speculation over the goalkeeper's future, but sporting chief Max Eberl is eager to tamp down the talk. "Manu will be 40 in March. The way Manu is currently performing is world-class. We'll sit down, talk and exchange ideas with him," Eberl relayed in comments captured by Sport Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "At some point, the body isn't ready for professional football anymore, but that's still not the case with Manu at the moment.

"I don't want the title to be decided in March. I want to stay in the race as long as possible. If we cut the gap to four or five points at some point, they'll start to reconsider. They'll still come to us. They're not completely out of sight, we want to be there when they make mistakes," BVB center-back Nico Schlotterbeck told Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

With so many injuries and illnesses, it was very unclear exactly who Kompany would even be able to play. As you can see, Lennart Karl got over his rumored illness, but Serge Gnabry (gastrointestinal infection) and Raphaël Guerreiro (calf strain) missed the match. The head coach went with Hiroki Itō (left-back), Jonathan Tah, Kim Min-jae, and Alphonso Davies (right-back) across the back, Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlović in the midfield, and a front four consisting of Karl, Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz.

It is TRUE: Everton, Marseille and Lyon hold interest in Sacha Boey. There is interest, especially from France! But Boey doesn't want to move! So everyone is a little irritated. But the fact of the matter is he's currently earning a lot of money at Bayern. They also paid a big transfer fee for him. I don't know why, but he's feeling confident in Munich.

"It is TRUE: Kim Min-jae's agents are informed that Chelsea are interested. "Chelsea have a shortlist with a few defenders on it - and Min-jae is on this list. Bayern Munich have said that if Kim is happy with his current situation, where he's not always starting for the club, that's okay for them. "If not, and he asks for a move to get more playing time, FC Bayern are then open for talks."

"It won't be a normal game. I'll be seeing former teammates and familiar faces again. We know that Bayern are currently one of the best teams in the world. But we have quality too, we want to give Bayern a hard time and try to beat them at home. I'm really looking forward to this game," Wanner told Sport Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

When Alexander-Arnold made the move to Real Madrid, expectations were sky-high. His arrival was seen as a statement signing, with the club securing one of Europe's most recognisable right-backs without paying a transfer fee. However, the reality of his first season in Spain has fallen well short of what both parties initially envisioned. More concerning for the player is the fact that he has failed to establish himself as an undisputed starter.

Michael Wiesinger will be signed as new sporting director and replace Markus Weinzierl in the position. Weinzierls contract expires in July 2026. A final decision on whether to let him go or give him another role at the Bayern campus has not been made yet. Wiesinger has already informed [Nürnberg] of his desire to leave. There are still contractual details left to clarify, such as when he will join [Bayern]. Initially, a start date of July was in mind.
