Für den FC Bayern war das Aus in der Champions League eine Zäsur: Die Meisterschaft kann zwar noch geholt werden, aber mit Thomas Müller verabschiedet sich die größte Vereinslegende vom Klub.
Aber auf anderen Positionen braucht es genauso einen Umbruch – und der fällt groß aus.
Die Eigengewächse Aleksandar Pavlovic (20) und Josip Stanisic (25) sind bei den neuen Bayern fest eingeplant. Bei anderen Profis wird hinterfragt: Wer hat noch den Hunger, wer hat die Qualität, um eben auch in den wichtigen K.o.-Spielen Top-Leistung zu zeigen? Dabei sind nur wenige Namen unantastbar.
Intern fällt immer wieder das Wort „Blutauffrischung“. Denn so ehrenwert der fast sichere Meistertitel dieses Jahr ist: Auf Dauer will Bayern in Europa wieder konstant zu den Top 4 gehören. Die Mannschaft sei zu satt durch viele Titel der Vergangenheit. Und dann eben teilweise in den entscheidenden Momenten qualitativ nicht gut genug.
[–>FC Bayern: Nur 9 Spieler sind unantastbar
Außen vor bei der Diskussion sind nur neun Spieler: Manuel Neuer (39) und Stellvertreter Jonas Urbig (21) im Tor. In der Abwehr der verletzte Alphonso Davies (24) und Stanisic. Im Mittelfeld Joshua Kimmich (30), der gerade seinen Vertrag verlängert hat, dazu Jamal Musiala (22) und Pavlovic. Im Angriff Michael Olisé (23), der beste Neuzugang der Saison, der allerdings auf höchstem Niveau noch reifen muss, sowie Harry Kane (31).
Ein Abschied des Engländers ein Jahr vor Ablauf des Kontrakts 2027 ist allerdings vorstellbar, Kane könnte im Sommer 2026 für festgeschriebene 65 Mio. Euro gehen.
Zu den Unantastbaren beim FC Bayern gehört auch der sich zurückkämpfende Dayot Upamecano (26). Bei ihm wurden freie Gelenkkörper im linken Knie festgestellt, eine OP war nötig. Upamecano ist allerdings bereits wieder ins Individualtraining eingestiegen.
„Mein ganzes Bein war …“: Bayern-Star Davies verrät Details über Horror-Verletzung
Beim Rest gilt im Zweifelsfall: Bietet ein Interessent eine bestimmte Summe, darf der Spieler gehen – die Liste an Verkaufskandidaten ist lang.
Die Augen sind dabei auf Max Eberl (51) gerichtet. Der Sportvorstand muss beweisen, dass er die Finanzen im Blick hat – und in den Griff bekommt. Am Umbruch im Bayern-Kader wird Eberl gemessen, genauso wie an der Personalie Florian Wirtz (21). Bei allen Diskussionen um die Defensive ist der Leverkusen-Star nach wie vor das Transfer-Ziel Nummer 1!

WATCH: Seahawks pull even with Rams on bizarre two-point conversion after backward pass fumble
Imagn Images The Seattle Seahawks tied the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth quarter off one of the strangest plays you'll ever see ... and yet another reminder to play through the whistle.With Seattle down 30-28 after Sam Darnold's touchdown pass to A.J. Barner, Jared Verse tipped away Darnold's screen pass to Zach Charbonnet on the two-point conversion attempt.At least, that's what it looked like.However, replays showed Darnold's pass was actually a backward pass -- also known as a fumble -- and because Charbonnet picked the ball up in the end zone and the whistle hadn't blown, it counts as a two-point conversion. Replays clearly show the ball was traveling backward from between where Darnold released it and Verse tipped it away. Charbonnet's seemingly nonchalant action ended up being a huge shift.The Seahawks were down 30-14 just moments before this […]
