After a year without a title, FC Bayern is back at the head of German football. Numerous ex-players also congratulate the Munich. An overview.
For the 34th time German champion, two game days before the end already as a new title holder-even if FC Bayern became “on the sofa” to the Bundesliga primus through the 2: 2 of pursuers Bayer Leverkusen at SC Freiburg, the joy in Munich is great. A currently injured professional and several ex-players from Bayern congratulated the team of coach Vincent Kompany on Sunday evening on the early title-as well as those responsible from the German Football Association.
World champion and club icon Bastian Schweinsteiger wrote, for example, the Bayern Instagram post: “Congratulations, boys! Well deserved” and garnished his comment with a “power” emoji (a tense biceps) and a heart. Lothar Matthäus also did not miss congratulations, commented on several red hearts: “❤️❤️❤️❤️” wrote the 64-year-old.
Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who had to watch the last few weeks, reacted with a “party emoji” with a party hats. “Congrats Boys! Miasanmia” was also pleased with ex-Bayern player Xherdan Shaqiri (from 2012 to 2015 at the club, now again at FC Basel), sent heart.
In addition to numerous greetings from the other clubs from 1st and 2nd Bundesliga, congratulations also came from the German Football Association. “After a season without a title, Bayern confidently recaptured the national tip and thus set an exclamation mark. To confirm success again and again-this is what distinguishes real champions,” DFB President Bernd Neuendorf is cited in a statement.
National coach Julian Nagelsmann emphasized a Bayern star: “I am very happy for all of our German national players in the team, but this year especially for Thomas Müller, who says goodbye to his FC Bayern with the winning of his 13th German championship title. He goes as a legend.” Nagelsmann also recalled the last goal of the season with the German national team: “Hopefully we can celebrate the next title win in Munich in a few weeks when we start with the national team for the first time at the UEFA Nations League final.”
DFB sports director Rudi Völler said similarly: “The team rewarded itself with the early master celebration for their constant achievements. I am sure that our national players from FC Bayern are still hungry for another title and will give everything in June to win the Nations League with the DFB team in Munich.”
