Bayern Munich's poor performance in the German Bundesliga has led to many criticisms of coach Julian Nagelsmann, while some media even went beyond suggesting his dismissal. The clouds descended on the Allianz Arena in more ways than one on Saturday afternoon. As the heavens opened, FC Bayern conceded a last-minute equalizer to draw 2-2 with VfB Stuttgart. Although back on top of the Bundesliga - overnight at least - the result just didn't cut it in the FCB camp. It was the club's third successive league draw, after all. Bild, the German tabloid newspaper published by Axel Springer SE, reported that things inside the Bayern dressing room are not well, and the players believe that he should take more responsibility for those conflicts. “The pressure is a subjective thing. I will approach the week exactly as I would have if we had won: we will train, we will analyze the opponent and we will try to find a good idea for Barcelona,” Nagelsmann told the media. Nagelsmann came across as relaxed about the situation, but Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic was a little more concerned after the Stuttgart draw. We have to improve one way or another.” “It was too little today. We have to go up two gears, even three against Barcelona.” It goes without saying that this Bayern side is still more than capable of putting Barcelona to the sword. Standards at Bayern Munich have been so high in recent years, that even a short slump causes intense speculation for them. This will however be Barcelona’s first big test of the season and there is no telling how they will cope. Nevertheless, Bayern Munich wins FC Barcelona, as the standards at Bayern Munich have been very high in recent years.

Massimiliano Allegri and Juventus hope to have him available for a cameo appearance or two at least by the end of October, wanting him fully fit by the time Serie A returns in January after the World Cup.
