The German champions ended their adventure with the Football Champions League in the quarter-finals. Bayern Munich lost to Manchester City, being clearly weaker in terms of the sum of two matches (1:4). After the meeting, the president of the Bavarian giant referred to Robert Lewandowski. Olivier Kahn clearly regrets selling the Pole to Barcelona.
Bayern Munich drew 1-1 against Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday. The German champions could not make up for lost time from the first meeting (0:3), having lost the chance to enter the top four of the strongest clubs in Europe. Another goal against Bayern was scored by the sensational Erling Haaland.
Manchester City knocked Bayern out of the Champions League.
It was the goal of the Norwegian that became the reason for the thoughts of the president of the Munich club. Olivier Kahn, a former excellent goalkeeper for Bayern or the German national team, did not hide his disappointment at the absence of a great striker in the squad. The head of the best team in the Bundesliga over the past decade fondly recalled the times when Robert Lewandowski scored goals.
“We saw such a player today, unfortunately, he did not play for us. There aren’t many nines like Lewandowski,” Kahn said in response to a question about the missing nine at Bayern.
Quote provided by Georg Holzner, journalist for “Kicker”. Kahn’s words seem important. German champions can’t get up after losing Lewandowski. The Pole scored goals for the Bavarians for eight years (2014-22), closing the topic of the Bayern striker.
Sadio Mane: disappointment in the colors of the champions of Germany
After the sale of RL9 to Barcelona in the summer of 2022, the Bayern brought Sadio Mane to the club. However, the Senegalese turned out to be a transfer loser, and lately it has been louder than about his performances on the field, for example. about hitting a teammate after losing in Manchester.
Interestingly, Bayern were going to buy Haaland for Lewandowski. However, the Norwegian cost too much to the financial policy of the Munich club, and the “citizens” fulfilled the cosmic conditions of the transfer. Effect? In the Premier League alone, the Norwegian has already scored 32 goals in 28 games for the Manchester club. Haaland is also the top scorer in the Champions League with 12 goals.
