Overview
- Jonas Urbig was named man of the match in Bayern’s 2–1 win at PSV Eindhoven after multiple standout saves and incisive distribution.
- UEFA published an additional technical analysis praising his positioning, timing and long passing, with Erik ten Hag highlighting two key saves and a long ball preceding Harry Kane’s winner.
- Hans Leitert of UEFA’s goalkeeping advisory group cited Urbig’s cognitive processing and recovery on deflected efforts and lauded a reported 68‑meter pass played with his weaker foot.
- Oliver Kahn commended the 22‑year‑old’s “inner stability,” noting his response to a recent error, while cautioning that replacing a figure like Neuer has historically proven difficult at Bayern.
- Despite the acclaim, reporting indicates Neuer is set to resume as starter at Hamburger SV as Vincent Kompany manages Urbig’s integration after reselecting him following the Augsburg mistake.
