In the summer of 2019, FC Bayern moved 80 million euros to Atlético Madrid, Lucas Hernández made short-manally the most expensive newcomer of the Bundesliga history and gave the central backing with a heavy backpack. This is evident again.

The performance, which Lucas Hernández has shown in the flattering draw of FC Bayern in the second round leg of the Champions League near RB Salzburg, is “a defensive chief not worthy”, judges “image” reporter Tobias Alschäffl in the podcast “Bayern Insider”.

Altschäffl blows into the same horn like DFB legend Lothar Matthäus a few days ago. “Lucas Hernández has cost a lot of money, but the achievements are not proportionate.

That the Munich is currently looking for a new conductor for the defensive, Altschäffl and “Image” football chef Christian Falk nevertheless did not confirm. Although you look for a new defender, but a boss does not have to be explicitly, it says. Especially since Andreas Christensen is called FC Chelsea as the hottest personnel, but this is rather follower than chief. You take this from London.
