Match25 Aug 2035

Erling Haaland leads the rout of Fortuna Düsseldorf

3‑0, and Erling Haaland took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Bayern Munich tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad27 Aug 2035

Erling Haaland takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Market27 Aug 2035

Eintracht Frankfurt come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Bayern Munich did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings27 Aug 2035

Vintage Erling Haaland — 9.53

At 35 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 9.53, and nobody on the pitch better.

Boardroom27 Aug 2035

Bayern Munich write off $1.9M on Patrick Dorgu

He arrived for a fee and leaves for a fraction of it. $1.9M of what Bayern Munich paid for Patrick Dorgu is money the club will not see again, and the boardroom will be asked about it for two seasons.

Market27 Aug 2035

Patrick Dorgu moves on

Eintracht Frankfurt pay $7.8M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Patrick Busch says Bayern Munich went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match25 Aug 2035

Nobody wants to play Bayern Munich right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Market27 Aug 2035

Younes Ebnoutalib moves on

VfL Bochum pay $2.6M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market28 May 2035

Matěj Jurásek has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Bayern Munich they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad28 May 2035

A falling-out at Bayern Munich

Erling Haaland and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad28 May 2035

A row about effort at Bayern Munich

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Levi Colwill was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market28 May 2035

Patrick Dorgu returns a better player

13 games and 0 goals away from here, and a man the manager did not have last summer. The loan did what loans are supposed to do and almost never do.

Market28 May 2035

Bayern Munich put Badredine Bouanani up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Badredine Bouanani may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The dugout28 May 2035

Jamal Musiala gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jamal Musiala is on it.

Market28 May 2035

The Hugo Ekitiké story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Hugo Ekitiké signs something — a contract at Bayern Munich or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout28 May 2035

No hiding place for Patrick Busch

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Patrick Busch, and the manager let it.

The dugout28 May 2035

A door opens for Mikel Jauregizar

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
