Snow and ice were rarely FC Bayern’s friends, but thanks to Harry Kane’s incredible confidence with penalties, FC Bayern also beat FC Augsburg – and went into three top games perfectly prepared after the 3-0 win.
It was such a day when FC Bayern’s two enemies joined forces: dark November and the snow. The eleventh month is traditionally the unlucky time for the people of Munich, when the muscles get tired, the tendons become brittle, the nights are long and the games usually no longer win on their own. Last year the cup came to Saarbrücken on the first day of November. The new coach Vincent Kompany avoided that, but this Friday the white disaster also came from the sky in Munich. FC Bayern doesn’t like snow games any more than November games; in the blizzard in Kiel, Bayern failed in the cup and against Bielefeld in 2021 there was a slippery 3-3 draw. Only last year did so many flakes fall from the sky that the dreaded snow game against Union Berlin had to be canceled altogether.
