According to @bolddk (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich has been watching Franculino Djú regularly and has sent club representatives once again to watch the striker live in action for FC Midtjylland against Nordsjælland in the Danish Cup this evening, which is funny because Franculino suffered an injury vs. Viborg FF last Sunday and was ruled out for the rest of 2025,
Having a run like that behind you makes it easy to look ahead. "For us, it means putting the fact we picked up just one point behind us quite quickly and then trying to get another win at Heidenheim," said Max Eberl. Bayern have had an "outstanding calendar year so far", continued the board member for sport. The 2-2 draw against the Rhine side can't tarnish that.
Bayern Munich's draw against Mainz 05 raises questions about the club's defensive issues. A heap of wasted chances led to a near-death experience for Die Roten at home against last-place Mainz 05. Harry Kane came up at the right moment to salvage a point, but it was far from an encouraging performance. The biggest concern was not the efficiency of the attack, as the opposition's keeper, Daniel Batz, pulled eight outstanding saves.
Regarding the manner of conceding goals by the Bavarians, executive for sport Max Eberl commented, "They executed that one counter-attack very, very well. Basically, they had two actions: the set piece and the second goal against them, and suddenly it's 1-2. And you think: Yes, why? How can that be? But that's exactly football." (via FC Bayern) And he is spot on.
