FC Bayern staged a festive Christmas show at Allianz Arena after final 2025 home game, thanking fans with fireworks, Tölz Boys' Choir and players.
Bayern Munich's quest to buy the Sportpark Unterhaching, the 15,000 seater stadium in Unterhaching a proverbial hop and a skip away from Munich, to become the permanent stadium for the women's team is nearing its' final stages. According to Tz, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, the city council have approved the purchase and the Bavarians have even negotiated a lower price:
Sport Bild: Have you ever thought that Florian Wirtz might have been better off at FC Bayern? Eberl: "We made it clear in all our discussions that we would have loved to have him at FC Bayern and that he would have been a great fit for us. Florian then chose Liverpool. I wish him all the best in representing German football in the Premier League."
FC Bayern hosted Sporting Lisbon in their final Champions League fixture of the year on Tuesday evening. The teams produced an intensive and hard-fought contest at the Allianz Arena, with FCB initially falling behind before running out deserved 3-1 winners. To crown an emotional evening, Alphonso Davies made his comeback from the cruciate ligament tear he suffered in March. You can watch the key moments of the game in our free highlights.
Bayern lined up with Manuel Neuer in goal and Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Tah and Josip Stanišić in defence. Aleksandar Pavlović and Kimmich anchored a midfield featuring Michael Olise, Karl and Gnabry, with Harry Kane up front. Raphaël Guerreiro, Hiroki Ito, Leon Goretzka, comeback kid Alphonso Davies and Nicolas Jackson took over from Karl, Stanišić, Pavlović, Gnabry and Kane late in the second half.
On the way to what will hopefully be their first cup triumph since 2020 (4-2 in the final against Bayer 04 Leverkusen), FC Bayern overcame the difficult hurdle at the Alte Försterei on Wednesday evening and defeated Union Berlin 3-2. In the process, FCB scored at least three times in their fifth consecutive away match in the DFB Cup - a club record (previously only equalled in 2015-2017 and 1998-2000). This is the first time the record cup winners have reached the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup since 2022/23.
To mark International Day for Persons with Disabilities, FC Bayern would once again like to raise awareness of integration and at the same time encourage those affected to play an active role in our society. Around 15 per cent of the world's population live with a disability. Let us all help to include them. Our club fosters self-determined and equal participation with various projects. It's not only in sport that it's crucial to practise togetherness.
It was a tough match, we had to fight for a long time, but that shows the team's morale and that they believe in themselves and can turn things around in the end. We had a tough game against Arsenal on Wednesday, which showed of course. But I'm really glad we won and that the team didn't give up until the end.
Frosty temperatures and even a sprinkling of snow could not keep supporters of the German record champions away from watching their idols at work at Säbener Straße on Thursday. At FC Bayern's open training session, many fans got to see how diligently the team, under the guidance of head coach Vincent Kompany, are preparing for the tasks ahead such as Saturday's Bundesliga match at home to SC Freiburg as well as the big Champions League clash away to Arsenal FC next Wednesday.
Herbert Hainer has been re-elected as president of FC Bayern by members at the club's 2025 annual general meeting. Professor Dr Dieter Mayer as senior vice-president and Walter Mennekes as deputy vice-president were also re-elected at the meeting in Munich's BMW Park. The overwhelming majority of members present voted in favour of another term for Hainer, who succeeded current honorary president Uli Hoeneß at the AGM in December 2019.
FC Bayern beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 on Saturday evening to extend their European record of victories to 15 matches at the start of the season. Serge Gnabry and Nicolas Jackson scored before Loïc Badé put through his own goal to hand Bayern a comfortable lead at half-time. With no goals to come after the restart, Bayern claimed another three points.
The 32-year-old forward received more than half (54.2%) of the votes cast in the poll of the German record champions' supporters, leaving his teammates Michael Olise (12.1%) and Luis Díaz (11.6%) well behind. Following a third-place finish in the August vote, Kane has risen to number one in the fans' eyes this month. Never fewer than two goals per game The legitimacy of the result is pretty much beyond dispute.
