So it should be a catch -up. So that things will continue in the European circus, the final presentation of which is known to be scheduled in Munich in May. The gentlemen from FC Bayern would like to be there, after all, for the final in the Champions League, they patented the “Finale Dahoam” label, which was newly launched from 2012. Because the mood after the lost quarter -finals Dahoam against Inter Milan is not so incredibly good, captain Joshua Kimmich pointed out to him before the second leg on Wednesday with his own authority: »It is not now that we need a miracle. We have to win a game. ”And: Bayern have bent completely different things – also and especially at FC Internazionale in San Siro.

A little miracle took place there in autumn 1988. A catch -up – from a Wednesday in late November to the next but one in December. The UEFA Cup, from Franz Beckenbauer, did not yet offer the frame to the cup of the losers. FC Bayern was in transition: Lothar Matthäus and Andreas Brehme had just switched to Inter Milan – and came to Munich for the round of 16. Bavaria’s captain Klaus Augenthaler let Matthäus know about the newspaper boulevard: »In many important games, he hided cowardly. We will show him that it can be better without him. “

In the past, the national champions are simply cup, today Champions League: a staged spectacle and money printing machine of football. Sven Goldmann looks at the coming matchday.

Matthäus indeed held back in the Olympic Stadium and was still able to celebrate a nice return to Munich with his adjutant Brehme. Bayern were dominant, but two stupid counter gates caught their way through Aldo Serena and Nicola Berti. Otherwise, Inter played how Italian teams played at a time when series A was still considered the best in the world and Inters coach Giovanni Trapattoni was responsible for the tactical orientation. Not beautiful, but effective. In the “Gazzetta Dello Sport” it said: “Bayern were humiliated!”

Two weeks later in the second leg in Milan, the Munich people actually only wanted to take the matter to an honorary value. And then suddenly scored three goals within eight minutes. Roland Wohlfahrt, Klaus Augenthaler and Jürgen Wegmann made this little miracle shortly before the break, but when this memorable first half was on their last moves, Serena scored a goal for Inter.

In the second half, the Munich players played Italian, roughly as Trapattoni was later in to bim them when he gave commands in Munich during the nineties during a three -year misunderstanding. Bayern were only concerned with holding the result for 45 eternal minutes and not so much for the beauty of the game. With this they came through and further – much to the unwillingness of the Milan, who were reluctant to be beaten with their own weapons. And this time the German boulevard celebrated the “miracle of San Siro”.
