Hainer and Bayern are now hoping for a similar effect. “Jamal Musiala can be the next FC Bayern world footballer, and if you know such players in your team in the long term, this is a signal that we can achieve great goals,” said Hainer. “Jamal becomes a face of the new generation of FC Bayern, he internalized what it means to play here on the campus, feels at home in the club and the city.”

Even more. “He already shows that one day our fans will rave about him, similar to Beckenbauer or Thomas Müller,” said Hainer. Finally on this topic, he also addressed a haunting appeal to Musiala and his teammates: “Anyone who signs here must have the will to say goodbye to the club in the end.”

With the move into the Champions League final Dahoam, which will be held in Munich on May 31, Bayern professionals have a great opportunity to take an important step on the way there. Board boss Jan-Christian Dreesen already spoke full-mouthed at the general meeting in early November even the “title of Dahoam” as a big goal.

In the round of 16, however, the difficult German duel with Meister Bayer Leverkusen is now waiting. Hainer knows: “Everything has to fit for the final Dahoam. Our wish for the 125th birthday is the championship shell, which is supposed to go back to Munich.”

Short term. And how does Hainer imagine FC Bayern in the future, on the 150th birthday? What challenges does he face with the club and what long -term goals does the president pursue?

“Socially, FC Bayern always has to show its clear attitude – this means that you may have to endure something, especially in times when uncertainty, extreme and splitting work work,” said Hainer. “The sporting challenges in the future are enormous, especially the international competition with clubs that are financed by oligarchs or states, is a Herculean task,” continued Hainer. “But this association has been an identity smithy for decades-players like Musiala, Aleks Pavlović, Alphonso Davies will continue to carry Bayern-gen. ‘Mia San Mia’ also means that we are not being afraid of the future.”
