FC Bayern’s eleventh championship in a row was only a marginal aspect on Saturday evening. The excitement about the dismissal of CEO Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidžić was much greater. Especially since their end was made public by “kicker” and “Bild” during the game.
An hour after the final whistle, the club officially followed suit with a press release. Especially since Oliver Kahn tweeted after the game that the club had forbidden him to support the team in the stadium. The club initially said he was missing because of the flu.
The end and, above all, the way in which the two Bayern bosses left was the number 1 topic in all football talks and sports programs in the evening. And word had gotten around to ex-Bayern star Toni Kroos.

FC Bayern: Kroos finds the situation “questionable”
“I heard it from Kahn and realized that he wasn’t allowed to come,” he told the Real Total portal on Saturday evening.
At the final whistle of the Bayern game, the 33-year-old was in the middle of preparing for his own game against FC Sevilla. Kroos set up Rodrygo’s 2-1 winner against the Andalusians and was on the field for the full 90 minutes.
However, since Real no longer has a chance of winning the championship title in the championship, the midfielder was also asked about the situation at his former club.

“It’s not my construction site, but the club is already giving a picture, which I think is a bit questionable“He added in an interview with Real Total. According to the “Bild” newspaper, Kahn was even forbidden to be present at the official championship celebration on the night from Saturday to Sunday at Motorworld in Freimann in Munich.
It’s not the first time this season that Munich have given a bad impression in terms of communication and public image. When Julian Nagelsmann was released, he and his advisor found out about the release from the media. To this day, both parties are still arguing publicly about who couldn’t reach whom or what the actual discharge process was like.
FC Bayern: Thomas Müller speaks of “total chaos”
The exit of the two Bayern bosses Kahn and Salihamidžić was announced to the players in the dressing room by President Herbert Hainer immediately after the final whistle. In the thrill of victory, the stars had “taken a sip or two of the target water”, said Thomas Müller.
Although he regretted the end of the bosses, he found clear words for the Munich season. “It was total chaos,” he said: “If that had been a film, a lot of people would definitely see it and say: Well, it wasn’t boring.”
