In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the women of FC Bayern meet Paris Saint-Germain. For this they are allowed to move to the Allianz Arena. Congratulations from Oliver Kahn backfired on the Bayern boss.
FC Bayern women’s home games usually take place in the small 2,500-seat stadium on the Bayern campus. Alternatively, they also go to the stadium on Grünwalder Straße. But in the quarterfinals of Champions League once morest Paris Saint Germain on March 22nd they are allowed in the big Allianz Arena compete with over 75,000 seats. It is the first time that the Bayern women play a game there.
CEO Oliver Kahn congratulated on Twitter: “We are very happy regarding this milestone in the more than 50-year history of our women. Jens Scheuer’s team gets the stage it deserves for the CL quarterfinals once morest PSG in our Allianz Arena.”
Former national player Verena Schweers (47 international matches), who ended her career in the summer of 2020, commented on the 52-year-old’s tweet with a skillful saying: “Again, a nice statement from an official – but I’ve never seen you in the stadium . Let’s go…packmas on….” The 32-year-old had some laughs online on her side. “It was untenable for Kahn,” it said, for example, on Twitter.
Schweers knows what she’s talking regarding. The former central defender played for Bayern herself and was under contract with Munich from 2016 to 2020. She then did not renew her contract and decided to end her career.
