FC Bayern did not win their third competitive game in 2023 either. On Saturday evening, the Munich team did not get more than a 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt at the start of the second half of the Bundesliga season. Coach Julian Nagelsmann is relaxed.

This means that FC Bayern at the top of the table is only one point ahead of pursuers 1. FC Union Berlin. Leroy Sané gave the record champions the lead in front of 75,000 spectators in the Allianz Arena (34th minute), Frankfurt equalized after the break through Randal Kolo Muani (69th).

The Hessians are five points behind Bayern in fifth place. The team coached by Julian Nagelsmann has only collected three points since the league restarted after the World Cup break. Previously, she had only played 1-1 at RB Leipzig and against 1. FC Köln.

Nagelsmann does not see a deep crisis at Bayern

Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann does not see FC Bayern in a deep crisis after the three draws in the new year. The football record champion does not have much time left to get back on track. “If you don’t deliver the results, it’s a results crisis. There are worse things in life than that. But it’s not a good run with results,” said Nagelsmann on Saturday evening.

Next Wednesday, Bayern will play in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup at FSV Mainz 05, and from mid-February they will face Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 in the Champions League. “In order to be able to play big games, you also have to play the small ones in such a way that you are in good shape psychologically,” said Nagelsmann. “We don’t have too much time before the really big games to get into this run. So we have to start at some point, the first step is always the hardest.”
