Jonathan Tah has already experienced some memorable evenings with FC Bayern. The German national team player has become a fixture in Munich and is looking forward to the new season with great anticipation. The center back is especially looking forward to the big games at the Allianz Arena.
Since joining FC Bayern last summer, Jonathan Tah has easily established himself as a starter and immediately won the double in his first season with the record-holding German champions.
Jonathan Tah was also a fixture in central defense in the Champions League. One match in particular has stuck in his memory: the home game against Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.
The atmosphere at the Allianz Arena left a lasting impression on the 30-year-old—and at the same time sparked a desire to experience such moments even more often in the future.
“When I think back on the game against Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena, that atmosphere is something we still talk about as a team today,” Tah explained.
For the defender, it wasn’t just the atmosphere in the stands that made the evening special. There was also an extraordinary energy within the team: “The atmosphere in the stadium, within the team, was simply something very special,” emphasized the German national team player.
Buoyed by that special atmosphere, FC Bayern won 4–3 that night and advanced to the Champions League semifinals.
„We want to experience evenings like that again“
After his first season with Germany’s record-holding champions, Tah now has a clear vision of what he still wants to achieve with Bayern. Above all, the Champions League gives him the opportunity to create special moments once again on Europe’s biggest stage.
The center back doesn’t simply want to build on past experiences. Rather, he wants the team to surpass its previous highlights.
„We want to experience evenings like that again. That’s what I’m looking forward to most: surpassing those moments and creating new, amazing evenings together with our fans,“ said Tah.
With this, the national team player addresses a key goal of FC Bayern. The record champions don’t just want to compete for titles domestically; they also want to be back at the top in the Champions League.
