The Bayern Munich Courier
Match15 Sep 2029
The run at home goes on for Bayern Munich
30 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.
Match15 Sep 2029
Bayern Munich make it 7 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Bayern Munich have 7 straight wins of it.
Squad17 Sep 2029
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.

Gabriel Kuhn is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.
Match15 Sep 2029
Bayern Munich keep winning on the road
4 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Igor Jesus has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Bayern Munich can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.
The dugout17 Sep 2029
The team sheet said everything about Rafael Leão
Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Rafael Leão.
Match15 Sep 2029
Bayern Munich find a way past SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg made Bayern Munich work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

A masterclass from Ferran Torres
Marked 8.34 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
