After the first defeat of the season against Frankfurt, Thomas Müller was not too bad for a nice action.
At the end of the day, a Eintracht professional was twice as happy.
Munich - The Bundesliga match between FC Bayern * and Eintracht Frankfurt wrote many stories.
On the one hand there was Julian Nagelsmann's first competitive defeat since taking office in Munich.
On the other hand, Eintracht was able to kidnap three points from the Bavarian capital again after 21 years.
There was also a strong interpersonal gesture between the actors of both teams, which a Frankfurt professional made public after the game.
FC Bayern: Frankfurt professional celebrates comeback in victory in Munich - and can be twice as happy
Almany Touré returned to Adi Hütter's starting line-up last week in a 1-0 win at Royal Antwerp in the Europa League.
Previously, the right-back from Hessen had to take a three-month break due to an injury.
Against Bayern *, the Frenchman was back on the field from the start and played a strong game on the right until he was substituted after a good hour.
In his big chance towards the end of the first round, however, he found his master in Manuel Neuer.
But Touré's unused opportunity went unpunished, the Hessians came a few minutes before the end to the 2-1 victory through Filip Kostic.
After the final whistle, Touré, who had been replaced, was able to look forward to a very special action by an opponent.

As the 25-year-old told Sport1, it was about Thomas Müller * - more precisely, his playwear.
“I asked Müller if I could have his jersey.
But because they lost to us, they stayed in their cabin for a long time, ”said Touré.
"I thought it would be difficult to get his jersey."

I was surprised and happy.
It is now part of my collection, ”continued Touré proudly.
He also posted a matching photo of the jersey on Twitter and thanked the 2014 world champion virtually.

The fact that the native Mali also writes fair play, he proved under his jersey tweet.
A fan asked Touré with a wink whether this miller was “still in his pocket”.
But the former Monaco professional did not go into the fun, but classified the outcome of the game objectively.
"I did my best.
But I respect every opponent.
Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. This is a life lesson.
Remaining humble and continuing to work are the best things we can do now, ”said the Frankfurt native.
Müller also showed himself to be a good loser on social media after the game and praised an opponent.
So from a human point of view, there were only winners last weekend.
