Overview
- Kickoff is 18:45 local time with live coverage on Disney+, and a win would lift Bayern above the titleholders in the Champions League standings.
- About 15,000 tickets have been sold for the 75,000-seat stadium, well short of the roughly 25,000 Bianca Rech says are needed to cover operating costs.
- CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen told members the women’s side generates about €4 million in revenue and he does not plan to increase investment, drawing criticism from fans.
- Club officials are evaluating the purchase of Sportpark Unterhaching, a roughly 15,000-capacity venue seen as a better fit than the 2,500-seat Campus or the oversized Allianz Arena.
- Defender Vanessa Gilles, defender Carolin Simon, and goalkeeper Ena Mahmutovic are expected to return to the squad, with striker Lea Schüller fit again after a minor issue.
