Berlin, Aug 19 (Ians) A brace from Leroy Sane and a goal from new arrival Harry Kane paved the way for Bayern Munich’s 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen at the curtain raiser of the 2023-2024 Bundesliga campaign on Saturday.
The German record champions had a fairytale start as Kane’s chipped-through ball allowed Sane to finish off a counterattack in the fourth minute clinically, reports Xinhua.
The Green Whites remained unfazed and thought they had restored parity five minutes later, but Niclas Fullkrug’s header following a free-kick from Marvin Ducksch was ruled offside.
Bayern controlled possession and should have added another goal to its lead, but neither Jamal Musiala’s nor Noussair Mazraoui’s promising long-range effort found the back of the net.
Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka had his hands full of work, as he had to defuse Leon Goretzka’s hammer from the distance and Kim Min-jae’s...

Berlin, July 20 (Ians) Bayern Munich’s rising star Jamal Musiala suggests that the German national team’s best approach to Euro 2024 is to forget about pressure and focus on finding their rhythm and chemistry as a team.
In an interview with Xinhua, the 20-year-old emphasized that putting additional pressure on themselves won’t help the struggling tournament hosts regain confidence.
According to Musiala, leaving behind recent disappointing performances is the right strategy, considering there is still ample time for the 2014 World Cup winners to get in top shape for the tournament.
The Stuttgart-born forward believes that responsibility lies with the players to utilize the upcoming season to reach their peak performance.
Reflecting on past early exits at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, Musiala stressed that such burdens are now a thing of the past, adding that he is optimistic about the future and views “positive energy” as the most promising recipe for success in the 2024 tournament.

Berlin, May 28 (Ians) Front runners Borussia Dortmund were held to a 2-2 draw with Mainz and allowed the second-placed Bayern Munich to snatch their 11th consecutive title and 33rd overall thanks to Jamal Musiala’s last-gasp 2-1 winner against Cologne in the last round of the Bundesliga 2022-23 season on Saturday night.
The German giants knew they needed a victory over Cologne to maintain their chances as well as a draw or defeat from Dortmund against Mainz.
Bayern caught a fairy-tale start into the last match day as Kingsley Coman finished off a counterattack from the edge of the box into the top right corner with eight minutes gone.
The visitors should have extended their advantage ten minutes later, but Thomas Muller’s header rattled only the woodwork, a Xinhua report said.

Berlin, May 22 (Ians) A sense of optimism appears to offer some solace to Thomas Tuchel as dark clouds gather over Bayern Munich. “Next season we will do better,” the 49-year-old coach asserted, hinting at a glimmer of hope amid the turmoil currently gripping the club.
Tuchel casts himself as a soothsayer, forecasting sunnier days ahead while the Bavarians currently weather a relentless storm, with no immediate reprieve in sight. Painting a hopeful picture seems to be his chosen method to avoid confronting the sensitive decisions that 2023 will inevitably demand, reports Xinhua.

Amid speculation over the futures of club leaders like Chairman Oliver Kahn and Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic, the disheartening defeat to Leipzig underscored the team’s apparent leadership deficit. The squad’s unraveling on home turf after just 30 minutes was not the first instance of Bayern squandering a seemingly secure game this season.

Berlin, May 21 (Ians) Bayern Munich dropped crucial points in the title race after Leipzig came from behind to clinch a stunning 3-1 away victory in the 33rd round.
The Bavarians gained the upper hand from the get-go and dominated possession against passive visitors from Leipzig.
The hosts came close with 18 minutes gone when Thomas Muller tested Leipzig goalkeeper Janis Blaswich from a central position on Saturday.
Bayern’s efforts paid off seven minutes later when Serge Gnabry made the most of Muller’s good build-up work to break the deadlock from the edge of the box into the near post corner, a Xinhua report said.
Three minutes later, Bayern should have made it two but for all that Jamal Musiala rattled only the outside of the netting from a tight angle.

Warsaw (Poland), May 13 (Ians) Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel admitted that the club is trying to find a top striker, as Robert Lewandowski’s transfer to Fc Barcelona means that “40 goals in all competitions are missing.”
Ex-striker Lewandowski scored 238 goals in 253 matches in eight years at Bayern before leaving last summer, and Tuchel admitted that the team is missing the presence of a top striker, reports Xinhua.
“Of course, the big teams that are dominant right now have a big number nine, which Bayern also had with Robert Lewandowski. He is absolutely a world-class scorer. Lewandowski’s absence means that we missed 40 goals in all competitions,” the German was quoted as saying on Saturday.
“The aim is to find and get one that guarantees over 25 goals per season, but there aren’t that many top strikers. Today every club is looking for these forwards, everyone wants them,” Tuchel added.

Berlin, April 23 (Ians) Mainz came from behind through second-half goals from Ludovic Ajorque, Leandro Barreiro and Aaron Martin within 14 minutes to upset leaders Bayern Munich 3-1, while Borussia Dortmund took the lead in the Bundesliga table following a 4-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday night.
The Bavarians took the reins from the get-go and thought they had broken the deadlock, but Sadio Mane’s goal was ruled offside with 15 minutes gone.
Bayern dominated possession and eventually opened the scoring at the half-hour mark when Joao Cancelo’s whipped cross into the box allowed Mane to head home from close range.
The German giants should have extended their lead, but neither Jamal Musiala nor Cancelo was able to finish off presentable opportunities.

Berlin, April 20 (Ians) The road to success for reigning German champion Bayern Munich remains bumpy.
Despite a noisy mid-season change of coaches from Julian Nagelsmann to Thomas Tuchel, the desired impact has yet to materialise. The third consecutive exit in the last-eight stage of the UEFA Champions League over the past three years is a significant setback, as the Bundesliga giant’s international ambitions demand better results.
Along with the 4-1 aggregate defeat in the duel against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City comes a disappointing exit in the German Cup against underdog Sc Freiburg.
Following a fairly strong performance in the second leg against the Sky Blues, Bayern’s new coach faces uncertain times as the squad appears to need rebuilding, reports Xinhua.

Munich (Germany), April 20 (Ians) Erling Haaland’s second-half goal guided English club Manchester City into the next round, as Bayern Munich’s 1-1 draw (4-1 on aggregate) on home turf fell short in the second leg of the quarterfinal.
The Bavarians started with determination on Wednesday and came close in 17 minutes when Jamal Musiala found Leroy Sane, who narrowly missed the target with his left-footed effort from inside the box.
Sane remained a focal point as he tested City goalkeeper Ederson with a free kick five minutes later before Leon Goretzka squandered a promising opportunity from the edge of the box in the 24th minute, reports Xinhua.
Manchester City then had an unexpected chance to break the deadlock when Dayot Upamecano conceded a handball penalty at the half-hour mark. Haaland stepped up but fired the penalty over the target.

Berlin, April 12 (Ians) Taking on Europe’s presumed best side after only 15 days in charge might be one of the biggest challenges for a coach.
When signing his contract with Bayern Munich until 2024 about two weeks ago, Thomas Tuchel likely considered what was next in the Champions League quarterfinals, reports Xinhua.
The 49-year-old’s fourth game at the helm took the former Paris and Chelsea manager back to England, where he achieved his greatest success to date by leading Chelsea to win the 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City and their Spanish star coach Pep Guardiola.
This time, Tuchel was less fortunate despite devising a sophisticated tactical approach for what he called “a high-speed line-up.”
Hoping to repeat his success from two years ago, Julian Nagelsmann’s predecessor chose a surprising starting eleven, leaving club icon Thomas Muller on the bench and selecting speedy players Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman,...

Freiburg staged a well-positioned defense from the outset and was able to keep the hosts at bay in the opening stages.
Despite not creating clear-cut opportunities, Bayern still opened the scoring with 20 minutes gone as Dayot Upamecano headed home a corner kick from Joshua Kimmich on Tuesday night.
The visitors maintained their shape and restored parity only seven minutes later through Nicolas Hofler, who collected a clearance from Kingsley Coman before drilling the ball from 16 meters past Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer, a Xinhua report said.

Berlin (Germany), Jan 29 (Ians) Time seems to be running out for struggling Bayern Munich to get in shape ahead of their delicate UEFA Champions League duel against Paris Saint-Germain.
With only two weeks to go, the Bavarians’ club leaders and coach Julian Nagelsmann are avoiding the word crisis, but concerns are growing that the reigning German champions will fail to go toe-to-toe with the French giants.
While Nagelsmann is talking about a need to gain confidence, chairman Oliver Kahn has spoken of a post-World Cup trauma.
“I see two teams, the one we had in advance of the World Cup and the one we have after the tournament,” the 53-year-old stated after his side drew their last three matches, against Rb Leipzig, Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bayern lost their pre-World Cup flow and delivered their worst restart after a winter break since 2007. Three disappointing draws last hit the club in 1978, reports news agency Xinhua.

The league will restart on Friday after the winter break, as Leipzig will play against leaders Bayern Munich, reports Xinhua news agency.
Seven defeats, three draws, and only one victory while in the shirt of Leipzig neither satisfy the Austrian international nor his teammates.
But crossing swords with the reigning German champion goes beyond the ordinary rivalry for the 25-year-old. The Bavarians are said to be the midfielder’s new club from next summer on.
Reports speak of a done deal with none of the involved parties expressing disapproval.
At present, he claims it’s his job to turn this season’s title race into a nail-biting issue. A victory is closing the gap down to only three points and turning coach Marco Rose’s team into a serious title competitor.

Crossing swords with Japan this Wednesday is the tournament’s most important game from the perspective of German captain Manuel Neuer.

Berlin, Nov 3 (Ians) The upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is an unprecedented mental challenge for footballers, says Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich.
With roughly two weeks to go until the tournament’s kick-off, “it is somehow strange to think of it as we are still busy with national and international club competitions,” the 27-year-old said.
“There is something important as a World Cup waiting, but you are currently stuck in your daily rhythm. And that (is the case) more or less right until the first World Cup group game.”
Coaches and players are aware that things will significantly change compared to the past World Cup tournaments, Kimmich stated.
In the past, players and coaches enjoyed the opportunity to prepare over several weeks “but now you have all sorts of other things in your mind.”
Therefore, the 2022 tournament is coming along as a never-before-experienced challenge, reports Xinhua.

Bayern responded well and increased the pressure before Choupo-Moting restored parity from a tight angle in the 27th minute.
The visitors should have taken the lead two minutes later but Sadio Mane couldn’t beat Augsburg custodian Tomas Koubek, reports Xinhua.
Julian Nagelsmann’s men eventually turned the tide after the restart as Choupo-Moting teed up for Joshua Kimmich, who slotted home with a low shot in the 53rd minute.

Berlin, Oct 9 (Ians) Bayern Munich wasted a two-goal lead after Anthony Modeste’s last-gasp equaliser snatched a two-all draw on home soil in the ninth round of Bundesliga on Saturday.
Both sides staged a rough first half with many fouls which disrupted the flow of the game hence goalscoring opportunities were at a premium.
The spectators had to wait until the half-hour mark to witness the first chances of the game as Raphael Guerreiro’s dangerous shot forced Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer into action.
Bayern however opened the scoring out of the blue moments later, as Jamal Musiala had all time and space to tee up for Leon Goretzka, who beat custodian Alexander Meyer with a well-placed shot from the edge of the box into the bottom left corner, reports Xinhua. Dortmund had the chance to make it 1-1 in the 36th minute but Donyell Malen couldn’t beat Neuer in a one-on-one.

Berlin, Oct 5 (Ians) It might be one of Bayern Munich’s special values to overcome a crisis by delivering records.
After only three UEFA Champions League group matches, there might be some miles to cover until final glory can be secured, but the 2020 treble winners seem to be already decorating their long journey in the 2022-23 campaign by setting a record of 31 consecutive group games unbeaten.
While the battering of underdog Viktoria Plzen 5-0 appeared a piece of cake, some of the Bavarians’ lately wavering performers took the opportunity to gain additional confidence in advance of “Der Klassiker” against Borussia Dortmund this Saturday, reports Xinhua.
A solid number of goals tells the story about the upswing of Leroy Sane with the German international having scored four goals in the Champions League as well as three in the national league.

Berlin, Oct 5 (Ians) Bayern Munich cruised past Czech outfit Viktoria Plzen 5-0 for their third win in as many games in UEFA Champions League Group C, while Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham Hotspur played out a goalless draw in Group D on Tuesday night.
The Bavarians made a fairy-tale start on home soil and broke the deadlock with seven minutes gone as Leroy Sane hammered the ball from a central position into the roof of the net.
Plzen tried to respond but was immediately caught flat-footed in the 13th minute when Serge Gnabry finished off a counterattack to double Bayern’s advantage, reports Xinhua. Bayern gained momentum as Sadio Mane danced through Plzen’s defence before beating hapless goalkeeper Marian Tvrdon with a low shot in the 21st minute.

Berlin, Oct 4 (Ians) At present, fans of Sadio Mane might have to go through unusually hard times. No selfies, no brief chats, not even autographs are allowed despite his latest league goal cheered by thousands of spectators.
Following weeks of drought, his return to a satisfying performance has triggered a wave of relief around the Senegal international. But due to several in-team Covid-19 infections, patience is required when it comes to fans. Training sessions turned into far-away enjoyments.
Bayern have decided to implement distance between their stars and the clubs’ supporters. The former Liverpool star is forced to follow the rules as his teammates do. While the 30-year-old striker is in good health, unlike the recently-infected Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich, safety measures have become inevitable ahead of the Bavarians’ Champions League group encounter against Viktoria Plzen this Tuesday evening in Munich.

Berlin, Oct 1 (Ians) Bayern Munich returned to winning ways after crushing struggling Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 thanks to the goals from Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala, Sadio Mane and Thomas Muller at the curtain raiser of the eighth round at Bundesliga on Friday.
The German giants caught a fairy-tale start on home soil and opened the scoring with just three minutes played as Musiala’s defence-splitting pass found Sane, who beat goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky with a deflected shot from inside the box.
Leverkusen couldn’t gain a foothold into the clash whereas relentless Bayern made it two with 17 minutes gone as Musiala got his name on the scoreboards after slotting home from tight angle, reports Xinhua. The “Werkself” eventually showed a sign of life at the half-hour mark as Moussa Diaby forced Bayern custodian Manuel Neuer into action before Robert Andrich headed over the target from promising position.

B0erlin (Germany), Sep 27 (Ians) Two months ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the number of admirers seems to inevitably grow when it comes to Jamal Musiala.
Bayern Munich board member Uli Hoeness and former German international Lothar Matthaeus convinced that Hansi Flick’s team can’t do without the 19-year-old upstart.
“He is a must for the starting eleven when performing in that way,” the 70-year-old Hoeness said after Germany’s 3-3 draw against England in the Nations League delivered additional compelling arguments.
For a reason, the struggling 2014 world champions’ hopes seem pinned on the England-bred youngster, who made his decision to play in the German shirt after games in the Three Lions youth teams.
The former Southampton and Chelsea talent turned into Germany’s driving force on the Wembley pitch, leaving the crowd behind in astonishment.
Flick’s lineup against England might stand for a turning point in the German team.

Paris, Sep 27 (Ians) England’s three-goal fightback from two goals down didn’t earn them a home victory against Germany on Monday, as Kai Havertz’s late goal, also his second in the game, saw the rollercoaster clash end in a 3-3 draw.
Thus, England finished their Nations League group matches with a six-game winless run, sitting at the bottom of the group, which also featured Italy and Hungary.
European champions Italy, who have failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, regained some pride as they won 2-0 in the battle for top spot in Budapest against Hungary, securing a place in the semifinals of the tournament, reports Xinhua. Giacomo Raspadori and Federico Dimarco scored for the Azzurri.
Unlike Italy, both England and Germany will head to the World Cup in less than two months, but both are still struggling to find their best form.

Berlin, Sep 20 (Ians) Bayern Munich’s newly implemented spearhead-less tactics are an advantage for the national team, says German coach Hansi Flick.
Ahead of the UEFA Nations League encounters against Hungary and England, the 57-year-old is convinced the 2014 world champion is going to benefit from the Bavarian players’ gained experience.
While the Nations League games turn into the national teams’ last vital test runs ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the former Bayern coach isn’t concerned due to the 2020 treble winners’ current result crisis.
“As I recon they still create a flood of chances in all of their games; that’s what counts for me,” the former midfielder stated ahead of Friday’s duel against Hungary in Leipzig.
Regarding the performance of Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller, and Jamal Musiala in the German shirt, Flick spoke about advantages as “they play more or less similar positions and system in their club.

Bayern controlled possession from the starting whistle and forced Augsburg onto the back foot in the opening stages as Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane tested goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz in quick succession.
Augsburg defended well and almost finished off a counterattack, but Bayern custodian Manuel Neuer was equal to Florian Niederlechner’s hammer from 20 metres in the 24th minute, reports Xinhua.

Former Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski then had a great chance to break the deadlock, but the unmarked Pole pulled over the target with 18 minutes gone.
Lewandowski remained in the thick of things and kept Neuer busy as the Bayern keeper had to save a dangerous header on target three minutes later.

Berlin (Germany), Sep 1 (Ians) Bayern Munich’s gifted talented players continued on their record-setting journey in the German Cup.
While the 5-0 victory in the first round of the German Cup against third-tier side Viktoria Cologne was far from a surprise, all the more it was the performance of Mathys Tel.
The French striker became the Bavarians’ youngest goal scorer at 17 years and 126 days in the Cup competition since the 2020 treble winner made its way to the Bundesliga in 1965.
Despite having to live with the burden of a youngster of his age’s exorbitant transfer sum of 20 million euros, the former Stade Rennais forward crushed the record of 19-year-old shooting star Jamal Musiala, who scored at 17 years and 205 days.
His coach Julian Nagelsmann announced to carefully develop the striker as “he is extremely talented but only 17”. The Bayern coach nevertheless predicted that Tel is on his way to building a brilliant career.

Berlin, Aug 28 (Ians) Champions Bayern Munich salvaged a late 1-1 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday to remain top of the Bundesliga after matchday four — on goal difference over their next opponents Union Berlin.
Germany winger Leroy Sane fired an 83rd-minute equaliser into the bottom left corner after Sadio Mane had two first-half goals disallowed for offside and Gladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer had frustrated Bayern with 19 saves, the biggest number since data collecting started, according to statisticians Opta, reports Dpa.
Gladbach had taken the lead in the 43rd against the flow of play from Marcus Thuram after a terrible blunder from Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano, who had also looked bad in Bayern’s 5-0 German Cup meltdown 10 months ago against Gladbach.

Berlin, March 26 (Ians) Two quick first-half goals from Leon Goretzka and Kai Havertz paved the way for Germany's 3-0 victory over Iceland to kick off their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
