Bayern Munich had a rousing start to its 2025/26 campaign and it was impressive to many fans and onlookers. To have some fun with that dominant first half, let's try to put a song lyric (or lyrics) attached to the team's performance (or some aspect of the team's performance). For this guy, the following line from "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin defined how Bayern Munich's attack overwhelmed just about everyone in its path: "Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good"
Karl-Heinz and Uli are part of our supervisory board. We would be remiss if we didn't seek their opinions and engage with them. I think other clubs envy us for their capacity. We have intensive exchanges, especially during transfer periods. Uli has strong opinions, and people can rally behind strong opinions. That's part of what we do; it raises FC Bayern's profile,
It's the festive season, which means it's once again time for most major European leagues to give teams a little bit of a break while English teams (and Italian ones, to a degree) charge ahead with league play and two different cups. That's what the money's for, I guess. Regardless, this semi-pause -- and the symbolic flipping of the calendar -- makes for a good spot for once again taking stock. I like to periodically check in on an advanced stats form table of sorts. Below are the top 20 teams in Europe's Big Five leagues in what we'll call "adjusted goal differential" -- a mix of 30% goal differential and 70% xG differential in 11 vs. 11 situations -- in league play, domestic cup play* and UEFA competitions.
No matter what you celebrate (if anything at all), you surely enjoy a good dinner party. Knowing that, have you ever thought about who might be the ultimate dinner guest? Even better - have you ever thought about which Bayern Munich player, coach, or team exec from the last 10 years would you want at your dinner table? Would you opt for the jokester like Thomas Müller or maybe a fella who can really make it a sausage party - Uli Hoeneß?
According to Transfer journalist Ben Jacobs (via iMiaSanMia), Bayern have registered interest in Acheampong. Chelsea have no plans to part ways with the teenager, but Bayern are keeping a close eye on his game time this season. It does look like Bayern may make a move if the youngster agitates for a move away from Stamford Bridge. Die Roten will face competition from Manchester City for the signing of Acheampong. Pep Guardiola's team is also keenly following the development of the 19-year-old defender at Chelsea.
Every day is a good day to thank the members of this community, but why not now? You are all here because you are Bayern Munich fans - or you at least like arguing about Bayern Munich (we don't judge!), but this place has developed, evolved, and changed some over the years. Yet through it all, you are here - and that is the important thing.
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Well, kind of. Christmas is upon us again, and as Bayern fans, we've been treated to a good year. But have you all been good boys and girls this year? If so, what would you want for Christmas? This writer always goes jersey shopping on Christmas or Christmas Eve, but considering he does that from time to time all year round, this isn't much of a breakthrough.
a voice that was neither loud nor dramatic, but warm, confident, almost homely. You could hear in it the maturity of a journey that had taken her from Iceland to Sweden and then on to Munich. To the place where she found more than just a job. "I've been happy and proud to be part of this team for a long time," she says with conviction.
Dating back to 2015, what major decision from that 10-year period would you change? Surely, there are dozens of options, but here are just a few (and yes, this is strategically marked outside of Toni Kroos territory, who left the club in 2014): The hiring of Thomas Tuchel? The hiring of Carlo Ancelotti? The hiring of Niko Kovač? The signing of Renato Sanches? The signing of Sadio Mané?
