Overview
- Jonas Urbig delivered a standout display in Bayern’s 4-1 DFB-Pokal win at 1. FC Köln, making key saves in a high-pressure return to his former club.
- He started because Manuel Neuer was suspended, having also played the first-round tie in Wiesbaden as Bayern’s goalkeeper.
- Coach Vincent Kompany lauded Urbig’s reliability and progression and said the team has total trust in him, while sporting director Max Eberl called his performance outstanding.
- Discussion over assigning Urbig the cup role continues, but Kompany indicated no change is planned with Neuer available for the December round.
- The 22-year-old moved from 1. FC Köln to Bayern in January 2025 for about €7 million and is viewed as Neuer’s long-term successor.
