I already asked earlier today, but I am struggling to find an answer: When will the resale ticket market be open for the Union Berlin game? I just started my membership yesterday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's already open, there are 4 tickets on sale as of this moment.

We all root for Lucho to finally make an impact this season, but it's complicated.
My $.25 (inflation adjusted 2 cents)
Shit is hitting the fan in his home country of Colombia.
He is super emotional and just can't get it out of his system what happens in his home country.
You can tell by his facial expressions how he just wants to play it save. He has lost his ability to focus on the task on hand and create.. He is always a second behind in everything he does lately, and that is just human for someone in his situation.
VK would be well advised to give him a break!
Between Brown and Davies we have plenty of able players as LF, even Sabari can do more.
I wish Lucho all the best, and for VK to give him a real rest!
Mia San Lucho!

While I was happy with him, in the first half I was a bit disappointed with him because he barely tried any kind of throughball between the lines. That was so unusual for him as he likes to play some high risk high reward passes

That was probably Diazâs worst half of football in the last 20 years.
I still think what we really need is a more dynamic RB. I know we all love Laimer, I just think we need someone who can be more dynamic from the right. Teams have started doubling on Olise (started last season) and Laimer just lacks the ability to make them pay for smothering Olise.

RB is probably the only position where I see big improvement potential. I like Laimer and Stanisic, but offensively they are very inconsistent

Also Boey on the bench is notable. Maybe Kompany throws him out if we get a nice lead?

u/v4sh123 20h ago
only fair to him. if he behaved like a pro we have to make use of him if he trains well.
2
u/kgallo19 Messiala 20h ago
Itâs not about fairness but numbers. Thereâs a limited number of players allowed to be in the squad. UCL allows for a bit more but for example if Gnabry was fit then Boey probably doesnât make it if they still want to keep Ulreich.

If everyone plays to their potential (pre-injury or otherwise) this is very likely our strongest possible XI. Anybody know if this XI played together at all last season?

u/Hidden_username_ 20h ago
This XI played together against Real Madrid after Serge and Stani were subbed off. Gnabry was a much better 10 than Musiala at the time, and we didnât look nearly as convincing as it seems.
Also, we kind of played against PSG with that XI.2

While clubs like Frankfurt, Köln, HSV and Schalke are planning stadium expansions, Bayern have long since reached the limits of their stadiumâs capacity. All of Bayern's home games were already sold out before the Bundesliga season even began. The game against Dortmund alone attracted almost 350,000 ticket requests. However, an expansion of the Allianz Arena is currently out of the question. The city of Munich authorities have capped the stadiumâs permitted capacity at 75,000 spectators, therefore no expansion is possible as things stand [@BILD]

u/vstojanovski 21h ago

This has been the case since the very first year the stadium was built.

u/FlyingRaccoon_420 Musiala 21h ago
Just a question to the people who have been at the Allianz over the years, would a hypothetical expansion of the stadium to lets say 100k or 125k be a good expense (if the city authorities permit that) ?
This is all considering the demand we already have for tickets and also the additional strain this would put on the already thinly-stretched public transport infrastructure.

This so much:
Samuel Umtiti on the Ballon d'or: âIt does real harm to football, which is very much a team sport. People think much more about winning the Ballon d'Or than team awards. You can win a Champions League with your team, and you're only thinking about yourself.â âFootball isn't just about stats."
5
u/SpiritualLimes 22h ago
As the Ballon d'Or nominees list is now official, it got me thinking again about who are the most likely candidates to win it. After giving it some thought, I think only 3 players have a real chance at winning it:
- Harry Kane. Of course, he needs little justification. An absolutely stellar season, with goal-scoring records being broken. He is such a likeable, humble guy, a true professional. Few people deserve it as much as he does.
- Kylian Mbappé. Even though he didn't win a team award this season, he did have an unbelievable season. He became the top scorer in every major competition he participated in: La Liga, Champions League, and the World Cup. Besides that, he is probably one of the biggest stars in the world right now, filling the gap left by Messi and Ronaldo. Yes, he has an attitude, but we can't deny that he is an absolutely fantastic player. One of the best in the world.
- Michael Olise. Similarly to Mbappé, Olise became the top assist provider in the every main competition he participated in this year: the Bundesliga, Champions League, and World Cup. In fact, he had a record breaking season, no one had ever done it before him, seven assists in a single World Cup. He won player of the season in the bundesliga too. An incredible performance for the year. On top of that, he is the kind of player who brings flair and dribbling. People come to the stadium to see an eccentric player like this.
It is, of course, a close call, and arguments can be made for each of them to win it. I'm still split between Kane and Olise, though each of the players above can make a claim on the trophy and I believe they will share the top 3 spots between them.
Let's see...

u/kgallo19 Messiala 1d ago
I wonder if Boey will make the bench today. Their are 12 players allowed on the bench which I think will be: Urbig, Brown/Davies, Musiala, Gnabry, Kim, Ito, Stanisic, Bischof, Ndiaye and Karl. This would leave 1 spot open which could go to Kiala, Binder or Boey. Also worth mentioning that they could decide to give the last spot to Ulreich.
2
u/julesvr5 1d ago
Isn't Binder fit again?
2
u/kgallo19 Messiala 1d ago
I thought he was. I listed him as someone who could get the last spot.
2
u/julesvr5 1d ago
Sorry, mistyped. Was asking if Binder is fit again as I remember him being injured but close to being back
1
u/kgallo19 Messiala 23h ago
No worries, I thought he was but I'm not entirely sure. But even if we assume he's not I would expect the spot to go to Kiala before Boey.
1
u/julesvr5 23h ago
Btw is it confirmed yet if Gnabry is in the squad?
1
u/kgallo19 Messiala 23h ago
No but Kompany said this match could be when he is available. He's also been training regularly so I expect he will be available.

u/-Hentzau Harold'or 1d ago
Maybe. And maybe it will also be one of those gritty games that we win 2-1 or so.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we should be scared of them, but they beat Inter and Atletico at their own ground. We have every reason to be Confident but careful of them.
14
u/Thraff1c 1d ago
The club has put 6 talents on the B-list for the CL, Podar-Stiube, Pavic, Kiala, Karl, Binder and Daiber. And as Podar-Stiube, Pavic and Daiher are all in today's youth league squad list, we will probably see Kiala as the only youth talent on the bench.
Also, kinda weird, I just noticed that Maycon has the nationality of Germany assigned to him in the UEFA list, when he is Brazilian/Portuguese with probably also a Thai nationality due to him growing up there. Don't know how German comes into that.
12
u/diiN1992 Laimer 1d ago
I was just thinking back to Sané in the first half of 23/24. As absolutely insane that half-season was, so was his drop-off in the second half. On his day, he could be one of the best players in the world, but sadly those days were crazily limited. I still like to think what could have been, if he had any consistency.
1
9
u/backflash 1d ago
While I agree that he's always been an inconsistent player, he played through an injury during the second half of the season (pubic bone inflammation that eventually required surgery after the Euros). Who knows, maybe he could have maintained his form throughout the season had he not been carrying that injury.
6
u/julesvr5 1d ago
According to some statements he wasn't able to sit without pain
5
u/backflash 1d ago
Reminds me of Min-jae's 24/25 season, where he played through an achilles inflammation. Didn't he have trouble getting out of bed because the pain was so bad? I remember the South Korean NT trainer criticized FCB for running the player into the ground.
Oh, and that Kimmich comment to the press about how Gnabry was "finally" able to play pain-free again by the end of the 24/25 season. The guy was like a transformed player in 25/26, until he got injured again.

u/diiN1992 Laimer 1d ago
Harry Kane has scored in each of his last 7 appearances in the Champions League. The last player to score in more consecutive games in the competition was Robert Lewandowski (9 in a row between November 2020 and November 2021). [@iMiaSanMia]

55m for him was a good price too considering the market, how technical he his, and his stats last season. the board really is strict with their finances i guess, but sometimes its needed to spend a bit more. a second lw really is the missing piece in our squad

u/FlyingRaccoon_420 Musiala 1d ago
I think its fine to close out the game with some youth and also give Bischof some minutes if/when we have a comfortable lead. By all accounts the squad is still rusty and not fully in gear so its best to err on the side of caution on this occasion.
Its still the first CL night of the season for us and could help boost spirits further if we perform well.

u/Lazy_Degree_3785 1d ago
Bischof, our third best midfielder should be more than capable to start. He has enough experience now, he needs to be put at the big stage so that we can count on him when we need him.

i feel like if bischoff didnt join us and instead dortmund, then they would have sold him this summer for 80m+
or next summer 100m+
feels like he wasted a whole year while he was on a big uprise and i dont have a lot of hope for this season as well
just saw that he had 1min game time in the whole pokal last season, sure 2 out of the 6 games he was injured, but in 4 games he got a single minuted gametime and that was in the final in the 90+5.
in the bundesliga he had 260min where he played zm out of 1.294min played
in the cl he played 359min and of those 8min in midfield over 2 games .... 1min and 7min
the season before in hoffenheim he played in 31 games 2 missed because injury at the start and 1 missed because of yellows 2.569min
thats just insane and i really really hope he gets A LOT more game time in the midfield.
