The Bayern Munich Courier
Match15 Sep 2029
The run at home goes on for Bayern Munich
26 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Jonas Urbig keeps Bayern Munich in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Bayern Munich tear SC Freiburg apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑2 against SC Freiburg, and it could have been more.

Aleksandar Pavlović scores twice — 9.97
Two goals and a mark of 9.97 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

A brace, and Luis Díaz takes the afternoon — 9.05
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Luis Díaz provided it, and the 9.05 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Tempers go at Bayern Munich
Harry Kane was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Bayern Munich cannot stop winning
3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Real improvement from David Schuster at Bayern Munich
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. David Schuster is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Kim Min-Jae falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
