FC Bayern was a guest at Union Berlin for the top game.
There was a lot to talk about before the game.
What do those involved around Julian Nagelsmann and Co. say?
Munich – The top game on matchday 5 in the Bundesliga sounded a bit strange at first.
FC Bayern was a guest at Union Berlin.
The surprise team from the capital remains undefeated, as does Julian Nagelsmann's team, because both teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
In the run-up to the game, the record champions indicated a certain potential for conflict.
The reason is the outstanding squad of FC Bayern.
Because what to do with all the stars?
Coach Nagelsmann will have to moderate that well in the future.
For the first time in a year and a half, Thomas Müller was back on the bench at the start of the game.
We summarize for you the voices of FC Bayern's game at Union Berlin on Sky and the press conference.
Julian Nagelsmann after the game over...
... the disputed free-kick whistle for Union before the 0: 1:
"The free-kick was unjustified.
It was a crystal clear swallow.
The ball was actually too far forward, then he makes a clever move and lets himself fall.”
Thomas Müller after the game over...
… the opponent, whether they bought the guts from Bayern:
“Nope, then they would have won.
I'm already a Union Berlin fan, but that's exactly what we expected.
It hurt that we fell behind.
We had almost used up our goal.
We knew we wouldn't get many chances here.
We often had a mess in the last pass.
Union is not there for nothing.
You don't get anything for free here.
When the balls bang out back there, it always seems a bit martial.
We played a decent game, but we can't be overly satisfied, but that was down to the opponent."
... his place on the bench at the start of the game and whether he liked sitting there:
"Good question, I liked that.
But there is no answer.
We are currently at such a level, next week we will continue again.
Ah crap... I had better answers.
That's more of a 3 minus..."
(laughs)
Marcel Sabitzer after the game over ...
... the draw:
"We're definitely not satisfied, we didn't get what we wanted on the pitch.
Maybe we were a bit lacking in toxicity, we had a match plan that we didn't implement 100 percent.
You don't get many chances against Union and you didn't play properly.
So we only took one point.”
Christopher Trimmel (Captain Union Berlin) after the game over ...
... the performance and the simple recipe for success:
"When you pull off a performance like that against Bayern, the point feels good.
Tactically, that was excellent from us.
We didn't give them much room."
... the goals for the coming weeks:
"Keep going.
We know that we still have to improve our game with the ball.”
Union captain Christopher Trimmel was of course happy with his team's 1-1 draw against FC Bayern.

Julian Nagelsmann before the game over ...
... the opponent Union Berlin:
"It's a likeable club that makes a lot of the opportunities.
Similar to Fribourg.
They are constantly developing, also because of the coach.”
... the first time for de Ligt and Mané at the Alte Försterei:
"It's an emotional mood, I told the team that again.
It's a lot of fun, but it's also challenging.
That's what I told them both."
... Thomas Müller, who has been on the bench for the first time since February 2021:
"Jamal is fit, has trained really well.
And Thomas has played all the games so far, there are no performance reasons.
I can't give a specific reason.
He didn't complain, he said he expected it."

Urs Fischer before the game over ...
… the fact that Nagelsmann is already coaching FC Bayern at the age of 35:
“No, I wouldn’t have believed it, but I still played there.
(laughs) It's insane how he does it.
The step to Bayern is a house number, but it has always remained the same.
In Switzerland I once coached FCB (FC Basel, ed.), I was always under pressure there.”
... the top game:
"That's great.
But it's a snapshot.
It's first versus second, but it's David versus Goliath.”
