alco1 Alco1 joined BFW in November of 2019, after having followed the site since 2014. Fluent in Spanish, English and German, he previously lived and studied in Munich in 2011. However, it wasn’t until the 2012-13 season that he started following Bayern Munich almost religiously, watching Bayern’s matches every Saturday at 7:30 a.m. For years, starting in 2019, he volunteered with proofreading and editing, before joining the team officially in 2021, and eventually mainly coordinating the postgame aspect on gamedays from around 2022.
After Bayern Munich’s return to victory in its game against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga after two consecutive draws following the latest international break, the Bavarians are set to face English side Arsenal FC in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. The Germans will miss some key players, though, after it was confirmed that Jamal Musiala will not be ready for the game after an injury with the German national team; additionally, winger Michael Olise will be unavailable for selection after earning a suspension in the last UCL match.
Because of that, Bayern’s star striker Harry Kane exhorted his teammates to step up to the challenge of replacing said players in an interview after the game against RB Leipzig (Absolut Bayern via @iMiaSanMia). “Of course we’ll miss one of our players. Now other players have to step into the spotlight and take their chance. That is the competition at Bayern Munich,” Kane encouraged his teammates.
Coach Vincent Kompany will have to find a way to fill the voids left by those absences in the attacking side of his team, in a match where Die Roten will surely seek to get revenge for their loss against the Gunners last season.
