The Bavarians were not at their best against Die Fuggerstädter, but still managed a 5-3 victory, which left some of the players a little miffed.

All participants are in agreement that a joint solution is absolutely essential in order to manage the heavy flows of traffic around the stadium more effectively in the long term. Not least because of future DFL licensing requirements, this must above all include an efficient concept as well as a significant expansion of the local public transport offering.

VfB have agreed to Wataru Endo’s request to sign for Liverpool and will receive a transfer fee for their former captain.

Andreas Voglsammer started the scoring for 1. FC Union Berlin in the 3-0 win over Maccabi Haifa on Matchday 2 of Group E. The Union number nine started for the second successive game and bundled home a cross from Kevin Behrens after 33 minutes. The 30-year-old Behrens has enjoyed a rollercoaster fortnight with his first European goal at Slavia Prague, while bagging Union’s winner last week and his first goal in Germany’s top division. On 48 minutes, Behrens powered in a header from Christopher Trimmel’s corner to double his tally in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Sheraldo Becker was also rewarded for his impact off the bench in the Bundesliga with a starting place in attack for Union. Becker picked out substitute Taiwo Awoniyi with a perfect cross and the Union striker finished off expertly to secure three points against the Israeli champions.

Since then, Juventus have crashed out of the Champions League and been hit with a 15-point deduction in the Serie A, meaning qualification for Europe’s premier competition is unlikely.

“May will certainly be demanding, it will be an exciting few weeks for us,” Dana Bleckmann told the BVB Podcast when she was asked about the upcoming matches. The month will get under way this weekend with a short but not-to-be underestimated trip to Hesse. There is particular excitement about the clash with the Black & Yellows in the HSG Bad Wildungen camp, as the Vipers are set to return to their original hall.

SVW suffered a 4-0 defeat in their first game of the Bundesliga season. Despite the scoreline, Werder came close to getting back in the game against Bayern in the first 15 minutes of the second half, yet the Bavarians were just more clinical in front of goal. The visitors led 1-0 at the break thanks to an early goal from Leroy Sané (4’), after which the game was left open and both teams had chances. Bayern utilised these better, with goals from Harry Kane (74’), Leroy Sané (90’) and Mathys Tel (94’) ultimately earning their victory.

“The game in Unterhaching hurt and was a harsh setback,” said Enrico Maaßen, once again looking back on the 2-0 defeat in the cup last weekend. “Something like that shouldn’t happen, but you can learn from defeats and improve. Now we’re focused on showing a completely different side to the team in front of a sold-out home crowd.” In order to trigger this reaction, it’s all about the basics, according to Maaßen: “We’ve got to be prepared to suffer, to outrun the opposition. We need to show that we want it more. I’m convinced that we can do it.”

A rare brace from Benjamin Pavard and goals from Joao Cancelo, Leroy Sane and Alphonso Davies rounded out the three points, undoing what had been cause for concern when Bayern went 1-0 down through Augsburg’s Mergim Berisha in the 2nd minute of play. It was Berisha that converted a second half penalty to make it 4-2 at the time, but Davies’ goal in the 74th minute saw that Irvin Cardona’s stoppage time goal was merely a consolation for Augsburg.
