Bayern Munich came away with a strong performance against Boca Juniors, the famous and historic Argentine club, 2-1, in the FIFA Club World Cup. This meant Bayern qualified for the Round of 16; this also meant Bayern became the first club to successfully defeat a South American club in the competition.

Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané looks like he is headed to Galatasaray in a stunning move that not many would have predicted. After being linked to Arsenal FC, Tottenham Hotspur, and a few other clubs, it was assumed that the Germany international would either choose to sign a new contract with Bayern Munich for lesser wages than what he had been making...or wait until some club in England would make him a better offer.From what we know, the proposals from the Premier League did not come in, Bayern Munich’s revised contract offer was still not suffice, and the winger had to start exploring his other options...like Galatasaray.So, let’s talk about it how it happened, why it happened, how Sané will be remembered, and the historical impact he had at Bayern Munich in this special edition of Bavarian Podcast Works.Also, be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
