Bayern Club World Cup latest
Jonas Urbig and Kingsley Coman show you around Bayern's hotel in Orlando, where they're staying for the duration of the Club World Cup in the USA.
Musiala scored 12 Bundesliga goals in 2024/25, despite missing the last month or so of the season through injury. The 22-year-old's hat-trick from the bench against Auckland showed how Bayern needn't worry about any ring rust.
Bayern flew straight back to their base in Orlando after Sunday's game, arriving home in the evening. Monday is about recovery, so there's no training scheduled. The players may spend a bit of time in the gym and do what they need to be ready in time for Friday's second match in Miami - a much shorter trip.
As he departs for a permanent move to the Premier League, we look back at the best of Mathys Tel in a Bayern shirt.
With the full squad now in Orlando, Bayern will have a training session this morning before making their way up to Cincinnati, Ohio. They'll spend the night there before kicking off their Club World Cup at midday local time on Sunday. They're the second match of the tournament, after Saturday night's opener between Al Ahly and Inter Miami.
Bayern's new signing is well and truly in the FCB zone having completed his first training session for his new side in Orlando and now being unveiled at a press conference at the team's Club World Cup base in the United States. "It's definitely a big step; the expectations are higher, everything's bigger," the defender said.
The last two players alongside Sané who have not yet touched down in Orlando are Harry Kane and Konrad Laimer. England and Austria played their last game of the international window on Tuesday. They will both arrive on Friday as well.
After the announcement of Sané departure at the end of the month, Eberl confirmed on Thursday afternoon that the forward will arrive in the US and join up with the squad on Friday. He will be available for selection at the Club World Cup until 30 June.
Fresh from UEFA Nations League and FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the first of Bayern's senior international players have now also made it to Orlando. Joshua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka, Aleksandar Pavlović, Michael Olise, João Palhinha, Josip Stanišić, plus new signings Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof, arrived at the team hotel on Thursday evening.
Bayern's very own Goofy...
Disneyland came to Bayern at training yesterday, with Goofy and Mickey being introduced to Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer. It should come as no surprise that Goofy and Müller immediately hit it off. Neuer looked a lot les sure about Mickey...
Musiala is looking in great shape as he prepares to make his injury comeback this weekend. The Bayern playmaker - for so long seen as Müller's long-term successor at the club - has been out of action since early April with a muscular issue. He still ended the 2024/25 campaign with 18 goals and eight assists across 40 competitive games, though. In terms of goals scored, the 22-year-old has never been so prolific.
Bayern will get straight down to work on Wednesday morning with their first training session Stateside at 10am EDT (4pm CEST). We'll bring you the latest from that later in the day.
The legendary Raumdeuter was on top form prior to departure as he prepares to go in search of one last piece of gold in Bayern colours. The 35-year-old will play his final games for the record champions at the Club World Cup, remember.
A little behind schedule, Bayern's flight to Orlando lifted off from Munich at around 1.45pm. They're scheduled to be on the ground in Florida by 6pm local time (midnight CEST).
Bayern are taking 29 players to the USA, featuring goalkeepers Manuel Neuer, Jonas Urbig, Daniel Peretz and Leon Klanac. The likes of Jamal Musiala, Dayot Upamecano and Minjae Kim, who missed the final weeks of the season with injury, are included, alongside new signings Jonathan Tah (No.4) and Tom Bischof (No.20). Eric Dier, who is joining Monaco for the new season, isn't involved.
The Bayern players returned to team training on 5 June after a brief holiday break to prepare for the Club World Cup. Just five days later on 10 June, Vincent Kompany's team will fly to the United States. There, the Bavarians will be based at their camp at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, which is part of Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
Bayern have recalled two loan players early - Adam Aznou (from Real Valladolid) and Maurice Krattenmacher (from Ulm) - in order to take them to the Club World Cup. However, it remains uncertain whether the two new summer signings Jonathan Tah (from Leverkusen) and Tom Bischof (from Hoffenheim) will be registered in time to participate with their new club.
FIFA have created an additional transfer window for the Club World Cup in which clubs can register players. The squad lists for the tournament must be submitted by 10 June. By then, it will be clear which players will be travelling to the USA. If no agreement can be reached regarding a early transfers before then, participating clubs will also be able to replace and add players during a restricted in-competition period from 27 June to 3 July within a set limit and according to specific limitations, according to FIFA's rulings.
With both Bayern and Dortmund playing in the Club World Cup, there is potential for another instalment of Der Klassiker. However, the earliest the two Bundesliga teams can meet is in the semi-finals, and that's only if one finishes first and the other second in their respective groups. If both finish first or both finish second, the would be unable to meet one another before the final.
After the group stage, the top two teams from each group will progress to the knockout phase, which will commence with the round of 16. The round of 16 will take place from 28 June to 1 July, followed by the quarter-finals on 4 and 5 July and the semi-finals on 8 and 9 July. The grand final at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will kick off on 13 July at 9pm CET.
