Cat mood to Ibiza: Eberl and Matthew in the line of fire!

Ibiza, Spanien - FC Bayern Munich recently caused excitement when 14 players took a short trip to Ibiza. Sports board member Max Eberl initially banned this excursion, but changed his minds a week later and approved the trip. This decision met with a lot of criticism, especially Lothar Matthäus, who considers Eberl's procedure to be problematic. In his Sky column, Matthäus Eberl's changeable attitude comments on the subject and draws attention to the possible negative external presentation.

The Ibiza trip took place in the renowned "Pacha" in-club, where the players left the club through a back exit after reporting at around 5:30 a.m. On Sunday, 13 players flew from Munich to the party island from Munich. This excursion should serve as a reward for the championship title already gained, but this seems questionable in the current season. Eberl had initially advised the players to fully concentrate on their core business, especially before the upcoming game against 1899 Hoffenheim, which is of great importance for Bavaria.

also critical voices from the past

Matthäus condemned the Ibiza trip as "borderline" and recalled that there had been a similar excursion three years ago after an early winning win. The critical statements are not unfounded, since Hoffenheim could possibly slide on the relegation place on Sunday if they lose against Bavaria. Such a scenario for the club could be alarming with only three points lead over the relegation place.

Overall, Bayern and especially Eberl face major challenges. In addition to the external presentation, important decisions regarding squad changes and contract extensions are also necessary, especially with regard to Leroy Sané, whose contract expires at the end of June. The player has received an offer for a reduction in salary by 50 %. Matthäus emphasizes that it would be an advantage for Bayern not to lose Sané free of charge.

Future of the squad in focus

Bayern also seem to look for solutions on the defensive, while the future of key players such as Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman is also uncertain. Eberl is put under pressure in all of these aspects because it has to create the necessary stability while the camp is bubbling behind the scenes.

The combination of sporting challenges and the latest Ibiza trip raises questions about how FC Bayern will deal with these internal and external circumstances. Fans and critics look forward to the reactions from the club and the final phase of the season.
