Looking to extend on their recent purple patch on Tuesday night, Bayern Munich will welcome Werder Bremen to the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich
Starting with the hosts, while Bayern Munich might have opened the 2022/23 campaign showing some extended inconsistencies, Julian Nagelsmann s side appear to have put those issues behind them. Last seen over the weekend picking up an action-packed 3-2 victory away at Hertha Berlin, the mood around the Allianz Arena should be at a real high. Now finding a route back to the top of the Bundesliga table, the German giants will be confident of laying down another marker on Tuesday night. Gaining a string of plaudits while on European duties and breezing their way to the knockout stage of this season…
Joshua Kimmich has been named as Germany s new captain following Ilkay Gundogan s international retirement last month.
The Bayern Munich player has made 91 appearances for the national team since his debut in May 2016, netting six goals, and has captained the side on 17 previous occasions.
Kimmich played in all five of Germany s games at Euro 2024 as they reached the quarter-finals, with Nagelsmann confirming how key a figure the versatile player is.
Real Madrid s Antonio Rudiger and Arsenal s Kai Havertz, who captained Germany at youth level, have been selected as vice-captains by Julian Nagelsmann.
The captain places the team s opinion with the coaching team. Kimmich was the logical successor, Nagelsmann said.
He leads the way with his mentali…

Rodri recognises he may have scored the most important goal in Manchester City’s history.
The Spanish midfielder tucked home City’s winner as they beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League final and completed the treble in Istanbul on Saturday.
The 26-year-old now hopes City can build on winning the European crown for the first time to establish a long-lasting dynasty.
Man City lead in the Champions League final!!
Rodri breaks the deadlock to score a massive goal for his club!

Rodri, who has developed into one of the world’s best midfielders since his £62.8million move from Atletico Madrid four years ago, said: “From my point of view I want to thank the team. It’s a victory of m…
Simone Inzaghi blamed an Inter blackout for the 3-2 derby defeat to Milan at San Siro as Rafael Leao s double settled the Derby della Madonnina.
The Inter head coach was unimpressed with his team s defensive performance as the Rossoneri took local bragging rights, with Leao s double and an Olivier Giroud strike countered by goals from Marcelo Brozovic and Edin Dzeko.
Inzaghi, whose title hopefuls have lost two of their first five games of the Serie A season, praised Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, although the Frenchman only made three saves.
We found a great Maignan and they scored against us very easily, said Inzaghi. To win the derby we needed to do more, half an hour is not enough.
Brozovic gave Inter an early lead, but Leao levelled in the 28th …
Luis Enrique was looking on the bright side after Spain were handed a good draw for the group stage at Euro 2020.
Spain will face Sweden, Poland and a play-off winner in Group E, with all their games to be played at San Mames in Bilbao.
The three-time European champions avoided the group of death – featuring France, Germany and Portugal – and Luis Enrique was satisfied.
It s about always looking on the bright side, the Spain coach told reporters.
If we had to face France or Portugal, finishing first or second we would have avoided them until the end, which is not bad either way. Now future planning doesn t make much sense.
I m happy for the draw and to come back to represent the Spanish national team. Now let s wait for the months to pass t…
FA Cup holders Manchester City have been handed a fourth-round trip to Tottenham, while sixth-tier Maidstone will head to Sky Bet Championship promotion-chasers Ipswich.
Pep Guardiola’s treble-winning City side, who cruised past Huddersfield 5-0 on Sunday in round three, have lost all five of their previous visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in all competitions.
Spurs have not won the FA Cup since 1991 and are without a trophy since lifting the 2008 League Cup. Ange Postecoglou’s men progressed to round four thanks to Pedro Porro’s stunning strike in a 1-0 triumph over Burnley on Friday night.
Vanarama National League South side Maidstone, who beat Stevenage 1-0 in the third round on Saturday, are the lowest-ranked side left in the competition.
Lady Cathy Ferguson, the wife of former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, has died at the age of 84.
The Ferguson family confirmed the news in a statement released to the PA news agency on Friday afternoon.
“We are deeply saddened to confirm the passing yesterday of Lady Cathy Ferguson, survived by her husband, three sons, two sisters, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild,” the statement read.
“The family asks for privacy at this time.”
Cathy had been married to Sir Alex since 1966, with the couple having met while they were both working at a typewriter factory.
When he announced his retirement as United manager in 2013 after an unprecedented period of success for the Red Devils, Ferguson said: “My wife Cathy has been the…
Charlotte FC head coach Dean Smith says his team will continue to work on their lack of goal threat as they prepare to travel to New York Red Bulls on Wednesday.
Charlotte sit seventh in the Eastern Conference, just one point behind the Red Bulls after going unbeaten in their last five matches.
However, their last two outings have finished 0-0 against LA Galaxy and Philadelphia Union as they managed just six shots on target combined in those games.
Asked how he approaches a situation like that, Smith said: We talk openly, review all the games and the fact is that we probably haven t worked the goalkeeper enough.
We ve spoke about that and what we feel we can do to improve that. We ve had chances, and we probably haven t done as well as we could do with t…
Manchester United’s comprehensive defeat by Bournemouth means they have lost more home league games in the 10 years since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement than they did in his 21 Premier League seasons at Old Trafford.
Here, the PA news agency looks at the declining status of the ‘Theatre of Dreams’.
Home invasion
While Ferguson took charge of United in 1986, United’s dominant era began after the top flight’s breakaway and rebranding in 1992.
From that point until his retirement in 2013, United lost only 34 home Premier League games at an average of 1.6 per season.
Bournemouth on Saturday inflicted the 35th in less than 10 and a half seasons since with a 3-0 rout of Erik ten Hag’s side that could have been even more emphatic.
It was t…
