Very well actually.
And in large numbers.
Certainly, some have broken their teeth in Bavaria, such as Alou Diarra, Steven Ribéry and Patrice M'Bock, who left without having played a single minute with the Bayern first team, or Jean-Pierre Papin, author of six small goals in 40 games and far from having posted the same level of performance in Munich as in Marseille.
