With a look at the table and the successful appearances in the cup competitions behind them, FC Bayern can celebrate a peaceful Christmas. Julian Nagelsmann agrees, even if a few injuries and disappointments spoil the idyll. At least the conclusion of the Munich coach is positive. With regard to the upcoming tasks, he does not want to be defeated.
FC Bayern has put in a sometimes bumpy, but overall strong and, above all, high-scoring first series. Julian Nagelsmann tried to emphasize the positive things in his short annual statement. “I think we played outstanding football in the first half of the season despite a minor slump in form. We played great games in the league, cup and Champions League,” he told fcbayern.com.
The Bayern coach also wished everyone “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” and showed his hunger for titles with a view to 2023. “Hopefully we can celebrate the maximum number of titles together,” he agreed for the coming months. This undertaking will be particularly at risk if the CL knockout games are waiting. Bayern meet Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 with Messi, MbappĂ© and Neymar.
