"On the first weekend of Oktoberfest, it was an unofficial party for the Bayern team. There was Vincent Kompany with the team in the Schützenfestzelt. It's very famous for the music! I saw Nicolas Jackson, and I think he was a little bit surprised by the big beers. He was the only player without any lederhosen - he has to get one because it looked a little bit strange without!"
"It's like a family feast, because when you are there, there are always the same spots where you meet your nearest and dearest. So, on Thursday, I first went to Käfer; it's very famous because on the last weekend of the Oktoberfest there will be the official Bayern Wiesn with the players, where they're they're allowed to drink. I met Giovane Élber there, a legend, of course, and he was with Claudio Pizarro, another legend, who also played for Chelsea."
"You go from one tent to another tent, and then everywhere there is somebody you know. There's a lot of football heritage in the tent. On Thursday, for example, Jens Lehmann, also an Arsenal legend, was present - he's really famous for being at the Oktoberfest because last year he was silly enough to head back home in his car. The police caught him, so he had a little bit of a problem, but I think this time he was without the car!"
Bayern Munich players attended Oktoberfest with Vincent Kompany present at the Schützenfestzelt and Nicolas Jackson notable for not wearing lederhosen. Club gatherings included meetings at Käfer with Giovane Élber and Claudio Pizarro, and Jens Lehmann appeared despite a previous legal issue after driving home from the festival. Questions surround Harry Kane's future, Manchester City's potential interest in Aleksandar Pavlović as a Rodri replacement, and Michael Olise's possible Premier League return. After gameweek 5, Bayern are playing strongly, Luis Díaz is integrating well, and the team looks capable of competing for the Champions League.
