Bayern weigh Noe’s experience against Ulrich’s promise for upcoming Champions League

Manuel Noe suffered an 8‑second mistake against Augsburg on the 10th, setting a Bundesliga record for the fastest goal conceded, while 23‑year‑old Jonas Ulrich kept clean sheets in two Nations League outings, including a notable save against Greece. Both are under the microscope as Bayern prepare for the Champions League group‑stage match against Viking.

Noe, now 40, has already guarded Bayern’s goal in six official games this season and was recalled to the German squad for the 2026 World Cup, where he will retire from international duty. Ulrich, who has featured in two Nations League matches, has impressed with composure and a clean‑sheet record, prompting speculation about a future succession.

Bayern head coach Thomas Compani said after the Augsburg game, “There are no excuses. But Manuel knows how to deal with it,” underscoring his confidence in Noe’s experience and maintaining the current hierarchy.

CLのバイキング戦で、コンパニ監督はノイアーを引き続き起用するのか。それとも、代表戦で評価を高めたウルビヒに大舞台での出場機会を与えるのか。『スカイスポーツ』の分析では、現状はノイアーが優位と見られるものの、今回のワンプレーがバイエルンの将来的な世代交代を巡る議論に新たな材料を加えたことは間違いなさそうだ。
