I agree with this word to word. How can you put trouble on a coach that turned around your situation and made you win six titles in a row? He has showed that he has Bayern DNA, and he can coach and give propper tactical solutions. So to me Hansi looks like the perfect option to sit in front of the deep refreshing process that we will have to face in a couple of seasons. And still be competitive locally and in Europe. Kahn is doing a good job so far, Salihamidzic probably not. We cannot afford to lose another 6 months/1 year having in our hands the last top level years of legends like Muller, Neuer and Lewandowski.

Yeah, that's a whole huge thing. As i said, i'm a football historian so i know very well that particular final. But, what i concluded after all my years following and studying football, is that every big team has robbed (some more than others, but everyone has just done it). So at the end, you should follow the team(s) you like the most, because if you're looking for a "pristine" institution, you better start watching another sport. The sooner we stop calling each other thieves and assume that we have all stolen at some point in history, the better we will live.

@Viva la FCBThank you!. Absolutely, i always think that, whatever happens, big legendary clubs stay legendary. No matter what happens in the present/upcoming years, history has already been written. @nudge I like the whole league. Die Mannschaft too (huge Jogi Löw fan, btw). It's unevitable to not watch a promising monster like Haaland every weekend, for example, or to enjoy when Nagelsmann machine works well oiled. And my favourite current Bayern player, even loving Müller and Neuer, has to be Kimmich. He's an exquisite regista with Effenberg mindset and Xabi Alonso's foot. @Stan Exactly. I actually get really upset when people makes lists of top goalkeepers of all time not including him. To the great shortlist you made for the late 90s/early 00s, i'll add Cañizares, a phenomenal GK. I'll never forget that titanic battle between him and Kahn in the penalty shootout of the 2001 final. And of course, Leicester story here was a huge thing. I even reunited with some friends hoping to see you guys champions at Old Trafford vs Van Gaal's United. Sadly the title was decided later, but it was still a great joy. It's also nice to see that it wasn't just a fairy tale, and you guys managed to construct a great project with a really competitive team under Brendan Rodgers. Hoping to see the foxes in the UCL next year.

@Stan Thank you! Actually, it's more like an equal love. I'm more of a "player person", because i started following Juve because Platini is my favourite player of all time and Trapattoni's team one of my favourites ever; Bayern because i love the whole institution mindset (being the brave, fearless, and hated black beast of Europe) and also, i used to be a goalkeeper in lower Colombian divisions and Kahn was my hero and my biggest inspiration. Finally, Leeds because when i read "The Damned United" i digged into their history and felt completely acquainted with the philosophy of the town itself. PD: Your Leicester "dilly-ding, dilly-dong" Ranieri team was a exciting one to follow. A fairy tale that reminded us what real football pre-Bosman used to be. @nudge Thank you, my friend! Yeah, as weird as it sounds, we actually even have German lookalike pubs/restaurants where we (before the fucking Covid) used to join and watch games. I can tell you that i even celebrated the 2013 victory with a huge Paulaner in my hands .

¡Hi everyone!. Since i'm new here, i just want to say that i have strong faith that we will surpass the two big mountains that stand between us and one more European Cup title. Even if the mountains can dribble and score like Nazário and pass like Platini :p. Anyway, it's always great to come into a new enviroment, in order to get to know some new people. I can tell you about me that i'm a Colombian that actually knows how to prepare coffee (which seems kinda obvious but, believe me, it's not), a Writer/journalist/football historian and that i'm a Peñarol lifetime supporter and a follower of Bayern, Juventus and Leeds United. With nothing else to be said, i wish the best to all of you. And, beforehand, that is a pleasure to meet you all.
