FC Bayern was challenged on matchday 13 at Hertha BSC.

Manuel Neuer returned.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting approved.

The voices of the game.

Munich – Matchday 13 was coming up and FC Bayern was still not the leader of the table.

With a win over Hertha BSC, the record champions pushed the other Berlin club, namely Union, from the top – and held the place in the sun for at least 24 hours.

You can read all the highlights in the ticker for Bayern's game at Hertha.

In the game with the old lady, Manuel Neuer returned to the Bayern goal.

The captain was out for almost four weeks with a shoulder injury.

After the game reported on the time.

As always, Julian Nagelsmann had spoken before the match.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who scored a brace, spoke about his possible contract extension.

The new Bayern superstar currently hits as he wants.

The Cameroonian has now scored ten times in the past ten games.

Should anyone say that Bayern don't have a centre-forward.

We summarize for you the voices of Sky, the press conference and the mixed zone from the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (double goal scorer, FC Bayern) after the game on Sky about...

... his hits in the classic center forward manner:

"You're always kind of waiting for things to fall at your feet.

I threw myself in and scored, I'm happy for myself, but especially for the team."

... his future and whether he would like to stay in Munich:

"I'm just concentrating on Bayern Munich and the here and now.

I am very, very happy and could imagine staying here longer.”

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting explained after the Hertha game that he would like to stay longer at Bayern.

Manuel Neuer (captain, FC Bayern) after the game on Sky about...

… his comeback after a four-week break:

"Of course it was nice, I'm glad I'm back.

However, I would have wished for a clean sheet.”

... his possible start-up time after the long break:

"I was relatively quick in the game and immediately on fire.

It's a bit more stupid, like in the second half, when you have nothing to do for a long time and then you have to intervene out of nowhere."

... his shoulder:

"It still pinches here and there.

But I'm fine.

I was able to do everything in training and today everything went without any problems.”

... World Cup participation and whether nothing would stand in the way of it:

"Yes!

But they

keep it a secret, so we'll wait and see." (grins)

... the game and why it got so tight in the end:

"The 3-1 was completely unnecessary.

It was similar to Dortmund.

Lukebakio is lurking there at the second post, if we defend that away then it can be a zero.”

… his cancer diagnosis and his subsequent feelings:

“First you recoil and are afraid.

But if you are informed and talk to dermatologists, you can classify it.

It is important to take preventive care after 30.

It was a shock, now I have to go to the dermatologist every six months.

But if there is nothing, everything is fine.”

Julian Nagelsmann spoke before the Hertha game on Sky.

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

… the new return:

“It was only finally decided yesterday, everything is fine and he gave the green light.

Manu trained very well and held almost everything yesterday.

Manu looked almost the same as always."

… the motivation:

“We are very hot, we want to get a threesome today.

The last few weeks have been great, we had a very, very good feeling outside for sure.

I told the lads to just carry on like they did in previous games."

… the danger that Bayern will shift down a gear and underestimate Hertha:

“Nope, I don’t think so.

Had this situation in the past week too.

As long as we're not in first place by a wide margin, I don't worry about that.

… a new Julian Nagelsmann after the last few weeks and the crisis in September:

“There is no new Julian Nagelsmann in front of the microphone now.

This season is just a process, we lost one of the best strikers in the world, you have to find yourself first.

We got off to a good start, then things didn't go so well and there was a lot of criticism, partly justified, partly not.

I don't think I'm a different Julian Nagelsmann now."

... Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and whether it suits Bayern's playing style better than Lewandowski did:

"They both fit.

Choupo can be played a little more often, but Lewy scored an incredible number of goals.

I hope that Choupo will do well again today.”

… the opponent Hertha:

“It will be like against Augsburg.

They will try to cause a lot of trouble.

When the game is calm and we're in control, things go better for us.

Today we have to push the limits again.”

Sandro Schwarz (trainer, Hertha BSC) on Sky before the game about ...

... the sold-out Olympic Stadium:

"It's fantastic, we're looking forward to it!

We want to show a passionate performance.

… his match plan to beat Bayern:

“With a lot of courage and a lot of aggression.

We need a very, very good goalkeeper and a lot of luck.

Yeah, there's a lot that comes together that you need." (laughs)

... Hertha's attitude:

"Wild, yes.

But not naive.

We don't want to walk into the open knife."

… the encounter with Nagelsmann:

“It was always hot duels.

He has outstanding qualities with a super team that he is currently in charge of.

We're looking forward to it."
