1. FC Köln - FC Bayern in the live ticker: Mega penalty against Guardiolas ManCity

Update from February 14, 8:50 p.m .: Hammer announcement to the former coach: As the European football association Uefa announced on Friday, Manchester City will be excluded from the Champions League for two years after this season.

The Premier League club, employer of ex-Bayern coach Pep Guardiola , is banished from the premier class for serious violations of financial fair play.

Update from February 14, 6 p.m .: While the current Bundesliga season is running, there are admittedly speculating about possible new signings at Bayern .

As Sport Bild reports, the double winner should also watch a native of Munich: Kevin Ehlers from Dynamo Dresden . The 19-year-old is a regular in the second division of the Saxons - and thus attracted the interest of the top national clubs.

1. FC Köln - FC Bayern Munich in the live ticker: all clear for Manuel Neuer

Update from February 14, 5 p.m .: The all-clear was given to Bayern Neuer by Manuel Neuer before Bayern's away game at 1. FC Köln . The national goalkeeper had to deal with a gastrointestinal infection during the week, but is ready for action again in the Rhineland.

Hansi #Flick on the personnel situation: "@Manuel_Neuer took part in the training as normal today. Except for @ Javi8martinez and Niklas # Süle, we all have men on board. @David_Alaba has paused today because of muscular problems, but should be back tomorrow." # KOEFCB pic.twitter.com/vzHBgz8MlL

Munich coach Hansi Flick meanwhile is considering replacing Jerome Boateng in central defense with Lucas Hernández . That would mean: three left-footers in the defense of the record champions.

“Whether three right-footed or three left-footed is nothing special, but it has to fit. The players have to feel comfortable. We will train that, ”announced Flick with a view to the guest performance at Effzeh.

First announcement from February 12th: Five out of six: 1. FC Köln recently scored 15 out of 18 possible points in the Bundesliga *. The Rhinelanders have a run under coach Markus Gisdol - and now face FC Bayern Munich on match day 22.

Is the Effzeh a master stumbling block for the double winner? The promoted offensive is particularly dangerous, with Jhon Córdoba and colleagues striking 15 times in the past six games.

The Bayern defense will be armed. During the week, left-back Alphonso Davies had slight ankle problems, the only 19-year-old Canadian has been in outstanding shape for months and has already been THE winner of this season with the record champions. The all-clear: it is nothing serious.

1. FC Köln - FC Bayern Munich: Players have to prove themselves to the bosses

Meanwhile, the bosses of Bavaria put a lot of pressure on their staff in the hot phase of the season - or rather, those professionals whose contracts expire in 2021. You should prove yourself first. Board member Oliver Kahn explains internally tellingly: "At FC Bayern only one thing counts: the maximum success!"

Brazilian Philippe Coutinho is likely to feel pressure. The loan player of FC Barcelona is playing for a fixed contract before the transfer summer, either in Munich - or at ex-club FC Liverpool?

In any case, there is sufficient tension.

Javi Martinez said in an interview how he could imagine walking around the square. He would wear an unusual accessory that made a European football legend famous before him. Martinez will probably have to pause in the game against 1. FC Köln on February 16. Perhaps he is fashionable in the stands.
