Update from February 8, 3:45 p.m.:

Al-Ahly Cairo

also has a prominent player in Europe in the squad, at least in name.

Because this is:

Beckham

.

No, I mean

Ahmed Ramadan Mohamed

, who goes by the stage name

has given.

The 23-year-old is a right-back for the Egyptians.

Al-Ahly SC - FC Bayern in the live ticker: Munich meet the African Champions League winners

Update from February 8, 2:45 p.m.:

On Monday evening, Bayern can show in the semi-finals of the

Club World Cup

against the Egyptian record champions

Al-Ahly SC

that the discrepancies on arrival did not rub off on your nerves.

Bayern meet their African equivalent, the club from

Cairo

is the non plus ultra on the continent and has already won the African CAF Champions League nine times.

FC Bayern - Al Ahly SC: Most successful club in the world challenges Munichers - curiosity about the venue

Al-Ahly is also

the undisputed number one

in the country

and has celebrated 42 championships, 37 cup wins and ten Super Cup victories in its history.

With other international cup competitions, such as the African Supercup,

Al-Ahly has

a total of 118 titles, making it the most successful soccer team in the world in this regard.

Of course, the international competition in Africa in particular is not comparable to that in Europe, but the numerous trophies show that Bayern will not compete against any club.

It's hard to believe that the very first competitive game between Bayern and Al Ahly will take place on Monday evening.

In 2012 there was the only meeting so far in which Bayer won 2-1 with an Olic brace.

Curiously enough, the friendly match took place in the old Al Rayyan Stadium in Doha, this time in the renovated stadium in the same place.

FC Bayern - Al Ahly SC: Munich wants to achieve the title "six-pack" in Qatar

First report from February 8th:

Doha - Now it's getting serious for Bavaria!

On Monday, the Champions League winner * is required at the Club World Cup.

In the semifinals it is against Al-Ahly SC - the "FC Bayern from Egypt", as Joshua Kimmich revealed at the press conference before the game *.

The respect and appreciation for the opponent is there, but of course the Munich team are big favorites.

Elimination against the winner of the African premier class would be a disgrace.

Of course, Bayern doesn't feel like doing that.

Board boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is hoping for the "six-pack" consisting of the German championship, DFB-Pokal, Champions League, UEFA Supercup, DFL Supercup and the Club World Cup.

So far only FC Barcelona has achieved something comparable.

The first hurdle then comes on Monday at 7 p.m. German time.

FCB * will meet the title collectors from Cairo at the Al Rayyan Stadium in Doha.

Should the Munich * win, they will play the final on Thursday - also at 7 p.m.

In the event of a defeat, it will only be about third place on Thursday from 5.30 p.m.

The possible opponents have also been determined.

The first semi-final had a surprise in store: Tigres UANL (Mexico) beat Palmeiras Sao Paulo (Brazil) 1-0.

The Frenchman André-Pierre Gignac scored the winning goal in the 54th minute with a penalty kick for the team from Monterrey, which had actually entered the game as underdogs.

Gignac, vice-European champion in 2016, was the match winner with two goals in the quarter-finals against Ulsan Hyundai FC.

In Europe, of course, he is well known, the former Olympique Marseille striker was in great demand with top clubs - and in 2015 he decided to make the completely unusual move to Mexico.
