Matchday 2 of the UEFA Europa League season will see TSG play host to a club that has shaped football. Not necessarily in the modern era, but before the turn of the millennium Dynamo Kyiv were regarded as one of Europe’s most successful clubs, tactical pioneers and an outstanding talent factory. Legendary coach Valeriy Lobanovskyi in particular is closely associated with probably the most glorious capital of the club’s history, when the Kyiv outfit won the European Cup Winners’ Cup and the UEFA Super Cup in 1975. A year earlier, Dynamo had narrowly lost out to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the semi-final of the European Cup. But it was not solely thanks to titles and results that Dynamo made headlines in this period. Lobanovskyi is regarded by many experts and football historians as the founder of the back four – a tactical set-up that has changed football forever.

Nico Willig’s side put in a dominant display against Sparta Praha as they claimed a deserved 3-0 victory.

The Argentinian, who scored the winning spot-kick in last year’s World Cup final, initially missed from 12 yards but Rui Patricio coming off his line before the ball was struck meant a retake, and Montiel this time made no mistake.

According to Tz journos Philipp Kessler and Manuel Bonke (as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia), Neppe was the one who saw Davies’ potential and the one who brought him to Munich. Bayern thinks that he is the key to getting contract talks with the Canadian going again. Another reason why Bayern want to keep Davies is for brand exposure; Davies’ shirt is the most sold in North America by any Bayern player at the present.

Maguire has taken more criticism than most during his time at Old Trafford and the Daily Mail claim that he is now ‘set to leave’ Man Utd in the summer.

“He’s a great coach, we had some great times together,” Coman remarked (RMC Sport as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia). “Unfortunately, after that, what happened, happened — but he’s a great coach. He has a lot of desire; he is young and I wish him the best for the future. I know that he will do very good things, regardless of which club he goes to.”

Karel Pivonka lives in the Czech Republic and is a VfB club member, meaning Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League game against Sparta Praha is an extra special one, particularly because he knows both teams intimately.
