0:4! Even if the result suggests otherwise: FC Bayern did not set off fireworks against the Irons.
The record champions benefited from a weak defender Paul Jaeckel (23) – and a bad first half from Union keeper Andreas Luthe (35).
The Köpenicker not only have an offensive problem, they also gradually have a goalkeeping problem. And this is homemade.
Luthe seemed anything but fit at Bayern, a week after his corona illness.
Nevertheless, it was not enough for competitor Frederik Rönnow (29) – unlike the 1-1 win against Stuttgart – for a mission.
A clear signal from coach Urs Fischer (56), who, when asked about Luthe’s mistake, saw his guilt when he conceded the first goal, but said: “Otherwise he didn’t do badly.” Well, yes.
Neither Fischer nor Luthe did themselves any favors with the assignment.
The Swiss seems unconditionally behind crowd favorite Luthe, although his form curve is pointing downwards.
He has his qualities, especially on the line, but there are always lapses. And they are increasing. Rönnow does not seem to be a real contender for number one, despite seven competitive games this season.
He’s not only going to start thinking about it since Saturday.

What did Fischer just say? “I’ve made up my mind. He has to accept that.”

Rönnow’s problem: In the next few days he will be back with the national team and cannot recommend himself in training.
It is possible that Union will sign a new goalkeeper with No.1 perspective. But then Luthe (contract until 2023) or Rönnow (2024) should no longer be with Union in the new season …
