While the Spanish press tittered over this apparent disrespect, Bayern went out and dominated the group — going a perfect 5-0-0 and clinching first place with one Matchday to spare. That has delighted the team and fans alike.

“We thought long and hard about how we would go up against Bayern,” explained head coach Christian Streich after full-time. “The team did a lot of  good stuff off the ball, we made life difficult for Bayern and had the right gaps between our players. I’ve lost so often in Munich, I think we can be allowed to win this one here!”

When the boys train at Schenckendorffplatz, it is inevitable that their eyes will turn to the Olympiastadion itself. At the beginning of the week’s training, it wouldn’t be surprising for images of playing just there to run through the minds of a Hertha player here or there. “Obviously, there is a lot of anticipation for the game with the fans behind us right over there. We want to work hard to reinforce the last few home results against FSV Mainz,” confessed Maximilian Mittelstädt. On Tuesday, preparation began for the clash with the Zerofivers (11.03.23, 15:30 CET).

Hertha have won their last two home games in a row. The Blue-Whites would like to extend that run to three with the upcoming home game against FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday (11.03.23, 15:30 CET). This will be no easy task though, with the Zerofivers having won three straight games, making them one of the most in-form teams in the Bundesliga. The game also has special significance for head coach Sandro Schwarz, who was not only born in capital of Rhineland-Pfalz, but also spent 15 years at the club both as a player and as a coach. “They are a team that is very aggressive, defend well, are prepared to put in lots of running and sprints and play simple football. We are expecting a competitive game. I enjoyed a very intense time there, because of that I am looking forward to the game and seeing lots of familiar faces,” explained the 44-year-old looking forward to the upcoming game in his matchday press conference. herthabsc.com has summarised the key points, as Schwarz spoke about…

The first game of 1. FSV Mainz 05’s pre-season training camp in Grassau saw them take on Besiktas in a hard-fought 90 minutes at Kufstein’s Grenzlandstadion where the Turkish giants came away 1-0 winners thanks to a goal from Cenk Tosun midway through the first half. Following a strong start from the Zerofivers, the Istanbul-based side grew into the game.

New VfB head coach Sebastian Hoeneß, CEO Alexander Wehrle und sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth faced the media on Tuesday ahead of the DFB Cup quarter-final at Nürnberg.

All the three clubs are famous for their youth teams. With seven wins Dortmund is Germanys current Under 17 record champion and Tottenhams team qualified for last season’s Premier League Cup final which they finally lost against Manchester City. Basels youngsters have been even more successful, winning the Under 18 championship in group B this year.

When the final whistle goes in tonight’s DFB Cup round of 16 match between last year’s semi-finalists 1. FC Union Berlin and VfL (kick-off 20:45 CET), the Wolves will be happy if a very special personal record has also been continued. Should the Green-and-Whites make it through the knockout showdown, head coach Niko Kovac – who lifted the trophy with Eintracht Frankfurt in 2018 and with Bayern Munich in 2019 – will have won his 17th consecutive domestic cup match.
