Leon Goretzka: "Don't tell my parents ..." - Criminal start of the Bayern party?

After seven long years, FC Bayern has won the Champions League final again. Afterwards there was a party - Leon Goretzka secured a souvenir.

• FC Bayern Munich won the Champions League.
• After the triumph over Paris Saint-Germain, the jubilation knew no bounds.
• Leon Goretzka's party night began almost a little criminally.

Update from August 24, 2:22 p.m.: The Bavarians let it rip! And rightly so. The triple winner celebrated his Champions League triumph exuberantly, Robert Lewandowski even took his new best friend to bed *. Manuel Neuer previously secured part of a goal network from the Estadio da Luz.

And he wasn't alone in that. Did he seduce teammate Leon Goretzka into theft? The Bayern midfielder also secured a very special souvenir and took a piece of goal net home with him. He wrote on Instagram: “Don't tell my parents or the UEFA” - “Don't tell my parents or UEFA”. Both will probably forgive him.

Meanwhile, a video that suddenly shows the Bayern stars as children provides amusement. Also curious: Thousands of fans were misled by a wrong stream at the CL final *.

FC Bayern Munich - Paris Saint-Germain: fans suddenly in the stadium?

Update from August 23, 10:05 p.m.: Since the major European football leagues had to interrupt or cancel their game operations in mid-March, the image of empty football stadiums has become almost normal. The ghost games caused a lot of criticism from the fans, as they would also rob the game of its emotionality and mood. During the Champions League final , however, the mood is very heated, which is why the TV viewers noticed acoustic accents from outside. But where did the cheers and chants come from?

FC Bayern in the final: That's why fans can be heard today - despite the ghost game

As Sky commentator Wolff-Christoph Fuss revealed, 35 seats were made available in the stadium for each club. Club officials, staff and other VIPs of the clubs can follow the final in Lisbon live. But it's a finale, which is why the exclusive seats create a good atmosphere.

The substitute players of the teams who are in the stands behind the coaching bench are also making steam today and pushing their team loudly . The PSG fans were already chanting, the Munich fans sang, “FC Bayern, shoot a goal”. In the empty stadium, the otherwise quite quiet supporting actors make themselves felt today as a support fan curve and cheer on their team.

I'm not sure if I hear the original sound or the option fan chants #PSGBayern

FC Bayern versus Paris: Superstar Mbappé is self-confident before the final

Update from August 23, 6.30 p.m.: For Neymar and Kylian Mbappe , winning the Champions League against FC Bayern is the big goal. Both superstars were committed to record transfers in 2017 , with the order to win the premier class. For the two ball artists, the “Project PSG” , which is financed by the Emirate of Qatar, could be completed with the Champions League title.

Mbappe was self-confident before the final against Bayern : “You have a great team, great players, a great coach. It's a final and in the final you play against the best team. If you want to be the best, you have to defeat the best. We are ready!"

Mbappe has often been associated with Real Madrid and their coach Zinedine Zidane in the past, Neymar in relation to Barcelona and with the Catalans he could possibly follow in Lionel Messi's footsteps. Much more important for Neymar is the title of world footballer and he can only win this with a success against Bayern. The Champions League winner will most likely also provide the world footballer this year, especially since the European Championship had to be postponed. In Neymar's homeland Brazil, the election of world footballer is very prestigious, only with this award can the 28-year-old stand in line with Ronaldo, Ronaldinho & Co.

Champions League final: That's why Rangnick is NOT keeping his fingers crossed for Bayern

Update from August 23, 12:22 p.m .: In a few hours the time has come and the Champions League final will kick off. The FC Bayern stands the French top club Paris Saint-Germain over.

Even if Bayern are not the most popular club in Germany, it is assumed that all of Germany will keep their fingers crossed for the Flick team. The CL final as a substitute for the EM.

But this assumption is obviously wrong. Because not everyone keeps their fingers crossed for FC Bayern on Sunday evening. One would have expected it from Ralf Rangnick , after all, he was a hot successor candidate for Niko Kovac in winter! But apparently the Bayern love is not that far away.

“To be honest, I would have liked to see RB Leipzig in the final,” said the ex-Bundesliga coach in the current sports studio on Saturday evening: “But if RB Leipzig isn't in the final, then two of my former players and one of mine would be very happy longtime companion with Zsolt Löw ”. Rangnick's statement alludes, among other things, to his former player Julian Draxler, whom he coached at Schalke 04 in the 2010/11 season.

Nevertheless, Rangnick also has praise for Hansi Flick's team and is particularly impressed by the performance against FC Barcelona. “I've never seen Bayern at such a high tactical level,” said the 62-year-old: “That was a lesson in all areas. From my point of view, they are also physically at a high level and in top shape. "

Today is one of those damn good days again ... 🏆

Champions League final: Report from French newspaper could not please Bayern

Update August 22, 21:20: In less than 24 hours that rises finals of the Champions League . The FC Bayern had most recently with defensive worries to contend with. FCB coach Hansi Flick has to worry about central defender Jerome Boateng before the final against PSG , who had to be replaced at halftime in the semi-final against Lyon. Flick wants to wait for the final training and then make a decision. Niklas Süle or the newly recovered Benjamin Pavard would be ready to replace them. Lucas Hernandez, on the other hand, does not play a role, Flick sees the world champion as a left center-back or left-back.

Update from August 22nd, 9:54 a.m.: PSG coach Thomas Tuchel is spoiled for choice when it comes to his lineup. The German trainer has a few more options in the premier class final against Bayern than in the semi-final match. While goalkeeper Keylor Navas was still missing in the semifinals against RB Leipzig, he is back in the squad against Munich. This is reported by the French newspaper L'Equipe . In addition, Marco Verratti and Idrissa Gueye , who were also recently ailing, return. The message should not please Bayern. On the other hand, you don't want to have any advantages from failures with your opponent - the best should compete.

Update from August 21, 4:55 p.m.: The time has come on Sunday: FC Bayern will face PSG in the final. But the injury-related replacement of Bayern central defender Jerome Boateng in the Lyon game turns the regeneration time into a race against time for the 31-year-old, who wants to be ready for the final.

Now there is positive news about Boateng, which should please the fans of the record champions. While the rest of the team is training at the Portuguese national team's training center, Boateng stayed at the hotel's training ground and completed a half-hour run with fitness coach Simon Martinello.

Race against time? Or a step towards the # ChampionsLeague final? # FCBayern defender Jerome #Boateng (muscular problems) completed a half-hour running session with fitness coach Simon Martinello this morning. #PSGFCB

The future of Jerome Boateng has not yet been finalized, which is why he does not want to miss his possibly last game for Bayern injured. For three stars, the time with the record champions will definitely end on Sunday .

FC Bayern before the final against PSG: Paris star Mbappé with hammer confession regarding his injury

Update from August 21, 2:20 p.m .: Sleep twice before the grand finale between Bayern and PSG - as the weekend approaches, the level of tension among most Bayern fans will also increase. With the French star ensemble around Neymar , Angel di Maria and of course Kylian Mbappé , FC Bayern has a real plank in front of its chest.

The Reds' defensive will have a lot to do on Sunday evening in order to narrow the circles of the magic feet. As is well known, there was a question mark behind Mbappé's return for a long time. In the first competitive game after the long Corona break, in the French Cup final against AS Saint-Étienne , the 21-year-old was plowed off his legs so hard by opponent Loic Perrin that Mbappé was replaced and then even had to walk on crutches . In the end, Mbappé got away with a ligament stretching in his ankle reasonably well, but this foul and the possible consequences kept him busy for longer. At the time, "I cried all night," revealed Mbappé, and the next day he was also depressed and frustrated. But then I realized "that I am damaging the team."

FC Bayern against Paris: PSG-Knipser Mbappé not yet at 100 percent after injury

In the quarter-finals against Atalanta Bergamo he was already back on the field - and was urgently needed. PSG were 1-0 down until he was substituted. But when he took it in, the game changed. Paris developed more traction and was ultimately able to turn the game around - Mbappé scored the 2-1 goal in the 93rd minute.

The Bayern have been warned. Mbappé is not only exceptionally fast, he can also call his own fine technique on the ball and is always able to decide a game with one action. Compared to the game against Lyon , Bayern have to improve their defensive network on Sunday . Once Mbappé escapes, with or without the ball, it will be extremely difficult to catch him again.

However, the superstar is not at 100 percent after his injury . "I have no more pain ," says Mbappé about his ankle. "The injury is not over yet, not everything is great."

After triumph over Lyon: Emotional Goretzka roars at Bayern bosses - bad memories of the final referee

Update from August 20, 4:45 p.m.: Now the referee for the final of the Champions League between FC Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday evening has been determined. The Italian Daniele Orsato , who has been the international referee since 2010, will lead his first major final . In the current Champions League season, the 44-year-old has already played eight games .

FC Bayern before the showdown in the final: the referee is certain - he could evoke bad memories from the fans

The referee has already played three international Bayern games: The first game was the second leg in the 2017/18 Champions League quarter-finals at FC Sevilla , which Bayern won 2-1. In the second FCB game under the direction of Orsato, the Munich team managed a 5-1 home win over Benfica Lisbon in November 2018.

But in the same season Orsato whistled another, far more memorable Bayern game. After a 0-0 first leg at the later Champions League winners Liverpool FC , Bayern were challenged in the Allianz Arena against Klopp-Elf. Orsato didn't have much to do with the 3-1 defeat, which meant the end for Munich in the round of 16 , but his name probably brings back unpleasant memories from some Bayern fans.
