Overview

• Coach Sandro Wagner calls the Bayern game a normal assignment and underscores an aggressive playing identity for this season.
• Chrislain Matsima scored a header in the 3–1 win at Freiburg and has targeted greater goal threat alongside a larger leadership role.
• Arriving a year ago on a last‑minute loan from Monaco, Matsima was signed permanently after Augsburg activated a €5 million option and he is contracted through 2029.
• Transfermarkt estimates Matsima at about €22 million, and the club is wary of last‑minute offers before the window closes on Monday.
• Goalkeeper Finn Dahmen received his first Germany call‑up, a step Wagner says reflects the national staff’s high regard for him.
