VfB Stuttgart produced a fine performance at the Santiago Bernabéu but ultimately fell to a 3-1 defeat.

Halil Altintop, Bayern II’s new sporting director, had this to say: “Davide [Dell’Erba] and Dion [Berisha] are two ambitious and interesting talents, who benefitted from a good education in Augsburg. Both have already had experience in the Regionalliga and we are happy, that they have decided to continue their careers with us.”

Sebastian Hoeneß, Deniz Undav and Jamie Leweling give their reaction to the match at the Santiago Bernabéu.

In fact, the former Liverpool FC star seems to want to stay in Bavaria no matter what to prove that he still has all of the traits that made him a star under Jürgen Klopp:

SV 67 Weinberg: Glaser – Haberäcker, A. Grimm, M. Grimm, Kömm – Schlitter, Wiesinger, Hofmann (74. Arnold) – Klärle (84. Horwath), Wich (84. Scheider), Ganßer (51. Istrefaj)

Just as quickly as they had secured yet another Meisterschale, it had come out that the club had internally decided to sack both Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidzic and Oliver Kahn. Brazzo was present at the RheinEnergie Stadion to witness the drama that unfolded and celebrate with the team, but Kahn had taken to social media to congratulate the team and also say that he was “forbidden” to attend the match.

So, what is the new format? How did the draw work? And what will the league phase look like?

“You can’t hope for a better debut,” the 25-year-old said. In the 83rd minute, head coach Jess Thorup decided to bring on Augsburg’s home-grown player to combat the final attacking push from the visitors from Hamburg. FCA defensive efforts were rewarded after the narrow lead became a secure victory as Yusuf Kabadayi sealed the three points with his first Bundesliga goal to make it 3-1. “We trust our youth players, even in difficult phases of the game,” said Thorup at the post-match press conference, delighted with Koudossou’s successful debut.

The timing of the decision was a huge point of speculation with Bayern falling out of both the DFB-Pokal and Champions League shortly after Tuchel’s appointment, but the manager has the right backing at the club now, especially now that both Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic are gone and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is back on the supervisory board. Jan-Christian Dreesen is the club’s new CEO, too.
