The Bavarians eked out a 2-0 home win over basement boys Hertha Berlin in a game that puts them first once again in the league standings. Serge Gnabry’s diving header on 69 minutes (nice) and Kingsley Coman’s nicely taken goal on 75’, both off Joshua Kimmich’s chip assists, proved the difference on the day.

For the third time in a year, VfB organised a Family Fun Day in Nairobi. The VfB delegation also met with various stakeholders in the Kenyan capital.

The reigning European champion and captain of the Squadra Azzurra moved to Union last summer, having previously spent his entire career in his native Italy, making seven Bundesliga appearances, as among them when he scored a penalty to give Union a 2-1 lead away at Borussia Dortmund. Bonucci also made a further three appearances in the UEFA Champions League. The 36-year-old played his last competitive minutes for Union in the last match before the winter break against 1. FC Köln. He came on in the 68th minute and helped his side defend their lead until the final whistle.

“In economic terms, the past year has been a return to normality,” said Christian Kullmann, chairman of the supervisory board. In any case, returning to profitability was not a matter of course given the tense global economic situation. Hans-Joachim Watzke, chief executive officer, emphasised: “We have left the difficult era of Covid behind us, which given that we have more stadium visitors than any other club, cost us over 161 million euros. We were profitable before Coronavirus, and we are profitable again now after Coronavirus.” The net profit for the year totalled 9.55 million euros. In the previous year, the figure was still in the red (€ -31.89 million).

Michael Zetterer has now been on the books at Werder Bremen for almost ten years. The goalkeeper has experienced a lot with the club since his move from SpVgg Unterhaching in 2015, and his stay on the Weser is set to continue for the foreseeable future, after an extension to the 28-year-old’s contract was announced ahead of last weekend’s clash with Borussia Mönchengladbach. Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Zetterer revealed that it was clear his future lay at Werder, and that he is looking forward to the seasons to come.

FCA head coach Jess Thorup stated after the loss at Signal Iduna Park last weekend that he saw some positives during the game, even after losing 5-1. Training this week focused on defending after conceding those five goals. Even with a few positives, the 54-year-old was still disappointed that his team “didn’t play well over the course of the 90 minutes.”

Bayern had nine chances on frame to Hertha’s one, but it wasn’t until the 69th minute that Bayern broke the deadlock through a diving header from Serge Gnabry, getting on the end of a beautifully lofted cross from Joshua Kimmich. Just ten minutes later, Kimmich was the provider once again, but this time it was Kingsley Coman that got on the end of the cross to make it 2-0 and let Thomas Tuchel breather a sigh of relief. Bayern reclaimed their spot at the top of the Bundesliga table thanks to VfL Bochum drawing Borussia Dortmund 1-1 earlier in the match week and Tuchel collected his third win since taking charge of the club, replacing Julian Nagelsmann.
