Mid-term conclusion:
Half time follows. Bayern lead more than deservedly 2-0 against a weak Inter Milan. Bayern were already in front after five minutes when Ibrahimović took the penalty kick. However, his shot just grazed the crossbar. Bayern then grew in strength and barely let the Nerazzurri out of their own half. Paul Wanner was able to pull the strings undisturbed in Bayern midfield. It was also he who put Ibrahimović in the lead with a powerful pass. Goalkeeper Calligaris helped to make it 2-0 when he rolled a Kabadayı shot through his arms into his own goal. If Inter still wants to get something today, they need a significant increase in performance in the second half.

Bayern now has more game shares and is the better team. Full-backs Herold and Brückner push up and add width to the game, while Ibrahimović and Kabadayı like to pull in. Copado in the center of the attack often drops to the outside to create a number situation. In the case of ball losses, Munich are good at counterpressing. Inter Milan don’t have an answer on Danny Galm’s side yet.

His father Dejan Stanković played over 300 games for the Nerazzurri and won five championship titles and the Champions League with them in 2010. Lucas Copado from Munich is the son of Francisco Copado, who played for Hamburger SV, Unterhaching, Eintracht Frankfurt and TSG Hoffenheim, among others played in the Bundesliga. Lucas Copado’s uncle is also the sporting director of FC Bayern Munich, Hasan Salihamidžić. Arijon Ibrahimović, who will play up front for Munich, is not related to his better-known namesake Zlatan.

At Bayern, some players are already active in the second representation, which plays in the Regionalliga Bayern.
