The most important things at a glance
Leroy Sané comments on his possible stay beyond 2025
Leroy Sané expects clarifying discussions with FC Bayern in the near future beyond the end of his contract in 2025. “I’m not thinking about it that much at the moment and am focused on the here and now. But those responsible for me are in contact with the club, so things will definitely get a little more intense in the next few weeks,” said the 28-year-old at the press conference before the quarter-final first leg in the Champions League at Arsenal FC on Tuesday (from 9 p.m. in the t-online live ticker).
At the moment, his main concern is to “play good football again and win” with the ailing Bayern, we can still save a lot. Given his dry spell in front of goal, he also has personal goals that I’m trying to achieve. But the most important thing is that I play well and can help the team – whether with goals, assists or defensive work. I want to be able to say: Hey , I played well and I have a good feeling. That’s what gives me the most.” Read a transcript of the entire pre-Arsenal press conference here.
Bayern have to forego fan support in London
Bayern Munich will have to do without loud fan support in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League at Arsenal FC on Tuesday (from 9 p.m. in the t-online live ticker). This is the result of a penalty by the European Football Union, which responded to the misconduct of Munich supporters in the first leg of the round of 16 at Lazio.
During the 1-0 defeat against Lazio in Rome in mid-February, objects were thrown from the Bayern block and pyrotechnics were set off. A suspended sentence had already been given in mid-October, which will be implemented for the Arsenal game.
Sports director Max Eberl wouldn’t be surprised if Bayern sympathizers drew attention to themselves at the Emirates Stadium. “I’ve experienced it a few times at other locations that you weren’t allowed to travel with us. And then, when you scored a goal, you were surprised at how many people sympathized with you,” said Eberl. Arsenal FC pointed out that all supporters of the German record champions in London had to be “consistently” turned away.
Everyone fit? Five Bayern stars in training before the CL duel
Coach Thomas Tuchel has almost everything he can do in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League at Arsenal FC on Tuesday (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online). Manuel Neuer, Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman, Noussair Mazraoui and Aleksandar Pavlović, who were sorely missed in the Bundesliga away game at 1. FC Heidenheim (2:3), all took part in the final training session.
The Munich team completed their last session before the game at the “Gunners” on Säbener Straße. The departure to London is planned for the afternoon. The injured Sacha Boey and Bouna Sarr are still unavailable.
Against Arsenal: Neuer and Sané are likely to return
After the unexpected 2-3 defeat against 1. FC Heidenheim, FC Bayern now has the landmark first leg in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Arsenal FC on Tuesday. The Munich team can probably rely on two recently injured stars again.
