Former Bayern Munich center-back Jerome Boateng announced his retirement via Instagram on Friday.

At his best on the pitch, Boateng was a stunning defender able to hit streaking attackers with longballs,
while also stifling opponents. Now, that is all over and it is time for his next chapter.
Man….the weekend. We all need it, so let’s get it kicked off with some talk on Bayern Munich! This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
- Bayern Munich’s win over Chelsea showed us a level of guts and mentality that we have not seen in a while.
- How good has Harry Kane been? Can he keep up this torrid pace? Who’s your guy — Lewandowski or Kane?
- Will Kane see out his contract…or maybe even extend? If Kane leaves, who can possibly replace him? The usual suspects (Erling Haaland, Benjamin Šeško, Viktor Gyökeres, Nick Woltemade) are all likely off the table.
- Some names to watch on Julian Nagelsmann’s “shadow team.”
- A review of Task, Episode 2.
