Bayern is second in the current Bundesliga, just one point behind the leader, Borussia Dortmund. Last Sunday the Munich team lost 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen.
After that loss in Leverkusen, Hasan Salihamidžić, a member of the board of directors responsible for the sports area, said: “That’s not how Bayern is. So little push, mentality… I’ve rarely seen that.”
In the Champions League, Bayern will meet in the quarterfinals with Manchester City. He is also still alive in the German Cup, in whose quarterfinals he will face Freiburg.
