What was going on in Munich? Bayern star Benjamin Pavard was replaced in a strange situation.
Bayern professional Benjamin Pavard caused a curious scene in the Munich home win against VfL Wolfsburg. The 83rd minute of the game was running in the Allianz Arena on Friday evening when the French soccer world champion suddenly ran towards the catacombs after a pass on the sidelines and disappeared for a short time.
The rather perplexed coach Julian Nagelsmann had to reschedule at short notice. He actually wanted to replace Jamal Musiala. But as Pavard simply stormed off the pitch, the coach swapped the defender without further ado – and Musiala was finally able to prepare the goal for Robert Lewandowski’s 4-0 final score (88th minute).
Nagelsmann later cleared up the confusion surrounding Pavard at the press conference: “We wanted to change. Then Benji came out and said in French that he had to go to the bathroom. I understood that with my modest school-French. Then he still met times decided to play for 15 seconds. He played three or four more passes. And when the ball was on the other side, it disappeared into the catacombs. “
