Bayern remain hungry
On Friday evening, against a hopelessly outclassed Schalke, the team from Munich impressively showed that their hunger for success is still undiminished following an outstanding 2019/20 campaign. Their sights are now firmly set on lifting the fourth trophy of this exceptional year against Sevilla.
In the training session on Monday morning it was plain to see that Manuel Neuer and Co. are fired up for the next title. In an excellent atmosphere, there was again an enormous amount of energy in the session, and after warming up, the players concentrated on passing drills and match situations.
Load management training for Lewandowski
Striker Robert Lewandowski sat out the team session and underwent load management training instead. David Alaba, who was absent on Friday against Schalke due to muscular problems in his left thigh, was back on board.
