Wednesday's DFB Pokal quarterfinal between FC Bayern and RB Leipzig is in jeopardy due to a planned strike of public transport on the same day in Munich. Buses will be affected, but especially the U-Bahn, which carries numerous fans to and from the Allianz Arena on match days.
"When you play against such an opponent and they start playing for time from the 45th minute onwards, which was partly not penalized, then that's respect enough [they've shown us]. Yes, [they were wasting time] from the 45th minute onwards. (Aleksandar) Pavlović is obviously injured - I wish him all the best. But he lay down for two minutes. And then the ball was played, and then he lay down again. That's how he wasted time so he can make a substitution. That's not fair play. But I'm not accusing the guy; I hope he gets well soon,"
Is Lennart Karl the most highlight friendly Bayern Munich youngster to make it to the first team this century? Certainly, it seems he has marked his first season at the Bavarians with a number of incredible moments. Efforts in friendlies against Grasshopper Zürich and Tottenham Hotspur provided a taste of what he could do but goals in the Champions League and the Bundesliga and Club Brugge and Borussia Mönchengladbach, respectively, proved he could do the same in a competitive fixture as well.
The emphatic 6-0 win at Nürnberg as well as the 4-0 victory at home to Union Berlin underlined the champions' dominance in the league. Then on Wednesday, the crowd at the Allianz Arena were given a Champions League evening full of drama. Against UWCL holders Arsenal, FCB found themselves 2-0 down at half-time but demonstrated their impressive mental strength as Alara, Pernille Harder and Glódís Viggósdóttir turned the game around inside 20 minutes for a glorious 3-2 win.
