Bayern Munich News: Was FC Bayern scouting Atlético Madrid star during UCL match?; Michael Ballack’s side gig causing problems?; and MORE!

While Bayern Munich was gutting out a 2-0 victory over Atlético Madrid, the club's scouts might have been pulling double duty — taking a close look at Álex Baena, who is just the kind of versatile attacker who would be appealing in January: To give the report some validity, you can go back to January of 2025 when Baena was at Villarreal. At that point, Bayern Munich was scouting him as well. There is likely zero chance that Baena will be made available in January, given how important he appears to be for Atlético Madrid.
