Benjamin Pavard is dissatisfied with his current situation at Bayern.
The defender leaves training frustrated.
Is the contract extension in danger?
Munich – In the last few weeks things have been running as one at FC Bayern.
With the 6:2 against Mainz, the record champions celebrated their sixth win in a row and jumped to the top of the table for at least one night.
Union Berlin can follow suit against Mönchengladbach on Sunday.
Only one didn't seem really satisfied.
Benjamin Pavard was initially only on the bench against Mainz, like a few days earlier in Barcelona.
The defender, who came on at half-time for the ailing Matthijs de Ligt, is apparently frustrated.

FC Bayern: Benjamin Pavard leaves training in frustration – and ignores Nagelsmann?
Benjamin Pavard is said to have been the first FC Bayern player to leave the dressing room in the Allianz Arena on Saturday, and the Frenchman was also the first to leave the pitch on Sunday after public training on Säbener Strasse.
This is reported by Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg on Twitter.
Accordingly, Pavard trained frustrated and avoided eye contact with the trainers around Julian Nagelsmann.
Pavard has been playing less and less in recent weeks after a strong start to the season.
In the last three Bundesliga games he was only once in the starting line-up and in the Champions League only once in the last four games.
His first goal in the premier class in Barcelona to make it 3-0 should hardly console him for the lack of confidence.

FC Bayern: Pavard loses regular place to Mazraoui – “sour” at Nagelsmann
Pavard appears to have temporarily lost his regular spot at Bayern's right-back to new signing Noussair Mazraoui.
In central defence, despite the absence of Lucas Hernandez, there is no getting past de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano.

"We also need Benji in the center right now, so I have to think a little bigger there.
It's not pleasant for the player, but he's covering two positions right now," Nagelsmann explained before the Mainz game, only to add afterwards: "He was definitely mad at me, and justified, because he would have played from the start today be able."

Benjamin Pavard: contract extension at Bayern in danger?
Pavard's complicated sporting situation at FC Bayern inevitably raises the question of the contract situation.
The 26-year-old still has a contract in Munich until 2024. According to Sky, there are currently no concrete talks about a possible contract extension.
Recently there was speculation about a Pavard move to the Premier League next summer.
On the other hand, there was positive news from Leroy Sané.
The noble technician was able to train with the team again after tearing his muscle fiber.
The comeback beckons on Tuesday against Inter in the Champions League.
Then Sven Ulreich will be in goal again, the Bayern goalkeeper rages against Mainz because of the referee.
