Overview
- Bayern backup Jonas Urbig conceded a roughly 30‑metre goal by Robin Meißner in the DFB‑Pokal and Bayern won 4–1, with match reports dating the game to September 3, 2026.
- After the match a reporter asked if the goal was saveable and Urbig replied “Warst du schon mal Torwart?” before calling the strike “unhaltbar,” a line that closely matched Manuel Neuer’s answer to the same question in September 2025.
- German outlets noted the verbal echo and used it to reinforce comparisons between Urbig and Neuer, stressing shared style, close national‑team training time and personal rapport reported during the 2026 World Cup.
- BILD framed Urbig as Neuer’s likely successor and reminded readers of Urbig’s January 2025 transfer from 1. FC Köln to Bayern for about €7m plus bonuses, but the club has made no official succession announcement.
- Observers warn that Urbig’s national‑team prospects depend on regular club starts, and SPORT1 reports he has had “good talks” with coach Jürgen Klopp while Klopp’s first squad list is due on September 17, 2026.
