A Bayern season ends in Wolfsburg, which had its low points in addition to the sovereign win of the championship.

All the voices of the players and those responsible.

Wolfsburg – At Bayern Munich, the mood is clouded despite the championship and the upcoming celebration at Marienplatz.

Before the game in the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg (live on TV and in the stream), which is not particularly important in terms of sport, the focus is on the possible farewell to Robert Lewandowski.

The Pole could play his last game for Munich on the last day of the Bundesliga match, which is why the fans are waiting for statements from sports director Hasan Salihamidzic or head coach Julian Nagelsmann.

We collect the most important voices of professionals, coaches and those responsible:

Hasan Salihamidzic (Sports Director FC Bayern) before the game on Sky about...

... Robert Lewandowski:

“I spoke to Lewa.

During the conversation he informed me that he did not want to accept our offer to extend the contract and that he would like to leave the club.

He said he would like to do something different.

But our attitude hasn't changed: Lewa has a contract until June 30, 2023. That's a fact."

Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern coach) before the game on Sky about...

... Robert Lewandowski:

"There are always contracts that end at some point and I think Brazzo has just made it clear that Lewy still has a contract until 2023."

Robert Lewandowski (FC Bayern) after the game...

… to Viaplay:

“It is quite possible that it was my last game for Bayern.

I can't say for sure, but it could be.

We want to find the best solution for me and the club.”

… to Sky:

“Sure, I still have a year of contract.

But I said that we have to find the best solution for both sides.

We'll have to wait and see what happens." 

Manuel Neuer (FC Bayern) after the game to club media about...

… the game:

“We were clearly the better team and left a few things behind.

We were dominant and didn't allow much at the back.

The little was then too much because Wolfsburg was freezing in front of the goal.

We want to work on conceding fewer goals.”

Josip Stanisic (FC Bayern) after the game to club media about...

...his goal:

 "The goal felt amazing.

Unfortunately we didn't win, which of course would have made it all the better.

We set out to win the game and we deserved it.

There would have been more.”

Max Kruse (VfL Wolfsburg) told fcbayern.com after the game about...

... the game:

"It was a good end to a turbulent season that we had imagined differently."
