We are very grateful to FC Bayern for using its influence to raise awareness about stem cell donation and thereby recruit new potential lifesavers. Sports, in particular, have the ability to bring people together and mobilise them for social causes.

The flight prices quickly became astronomically high, explains Rudi Grabmeier. Eight or nine hundred euros - virtually unaffordable for most members of the 'Red Bulls Taubenbach'. So the fan club president picked up the phone, contacted other fan clubs, weighed up his options, did the maths, and took a risk.
Ahead of kick-off, both teams took up position together behind a banner with the matchday motto, and the FCB women including Glodis Viggosdottir, Giulia Gwinn and Pernille Harder also wore special warm-up shirts with the 'Red against Racism' slogan.

When the final whistle sounded at the Allianz Arena and FC Bayern's 5-1 victory over TSG Hoffenheim was confirmed, something erupted that had been building up over 90 minutes. A brief moment of silence - the typical pause when everyone really registers the whistle - and then a collective celebration broke out, starting from the Südkurve and spreading throughout the rest of the stadium. The players slapped hands and hugged, a few fists were pumped in the direction of the stands, Vincent Kompany gathered his players in the centre circle. It was a celebration that mostly conveyed relief and quiet satisfaction.

Jamal Musiala is back - now wearing number 10 for FC Bayern and the German national team. In a long history of special players, he represents a position that is designed to create unique moments and goals - precisely because it constantly reinvents freedom in football.. There are shirt numbers in football that are just digits on the team sheet. And there's the 10: not a number, but a promise - of creativity, technical skill and magical moments.
Javier Fernández unfortunately wasn't able to play much in 2025 due to a long injury but is now 100 percent fit and ready for senior football. He's a very good player, a physically strong midfielder who can lead from the front in any team. He's also showed in the Youth League that he can make a statement, even when his team goes behind. He's someone who takes things in his own hands.
