Under Vincent Kompany, a host of homegrown players have been promoted to the first team this season. While this was something of a rarity in the recent past, it has cost FC Bayern Munich a number of established top players of today. A misguided decision in the transfer market even drove away a current DFB star.
Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard has identified Bayern Munich star Michael Olise as the ideal "like-for-like" successor to Mohamed Salah ahead of the Egyptian's summer departure. The 33-year-old forward recently confirmed he will end his legendary nine-year stint at Anfield, leaving the Reds’ recruitment team with a monumental task to fill the void on the right wing.
Joshua Kimmich has moved to diffuse tensions with Vinicius Junior as Bayern Munich travel to the Santiago Bernabeu to face Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. The Germany international insists there is no lingering animosity following their previous high-stakes encounters in Europe.
It was one of those passes that only Trent Alexander-Arnold could play. Liverpool had struggled to break down Tottenham in December 2024, Spurs holding strong for 23 minutes despite waves of pressure. And then, Alexander-Arnold delivered the killer ball. He drifted in from the right wing, created the ideal angle, and whipped a cross in between two centre-backs, right onto Luis Diaz's head.
As Bayern Munich prepare to face the reigning European champions, Joshua Kimmich has singled out Harry Kane as the man capable of tipping the scales in their favour. The striker has enjoyed another stellar season in Bavaria, but Kimmich insists his value extends far beyond the goals he provides on the pitch.
