Former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeneß has acknowledged feeling nervous ahead of the German club's meeting with Atlético Madrid. The admission came as Hoeneß attended a reception at the Bavarian State Chancellery on 16 September 2026, where Minister-President Markus Söder honored both the men's and women's teams for winning the 2025-26 German championship.
Hoeneß, who served as club president for multiple spells and remains an influential figure at Bayern, did not elaborate on the specific match or competition in his remarks. The fixture against the Spanish side suggests a potential UEFA Champions League encounter, though the source did not confirm the date or stage of the tie.
