At the FC Bayern game against PSG there was a lot of rumor about Lisa Müller’s supposed visit. An ex-FCB star definitely made an appearance. The Arena Whisper.
Munich – Champions League nights in the Allianz Arena always have something magical!
Or something harmonious? Or even something re-uniting? In the end, probably a little bit of everything. What Tuesday evening definitely had was a deserved success for FC Bayern (You can find it here tz-Nuts) against the once strong PSG.
But Messi, Mbappé and Neymar are now called Barcola, Zaire-Emery and Lee and their names alone don’t necessarily have the aura of their predecessors. Max Eberl finds the “PSG project exciting”, but he also once said that to RB Leipzig.

Arena whispers about the PSG game: magic, harmony and Lisa Müller
In this respect, the sporting anticipation in the arena was not necessarily at boiling point. However, things got exciting before kick-off when colleagues reported that Lisa Müller was supposed to be present in the stadium.
Because, attention: Thomas’ company car was spotted around the stadium. But since Müller traveled with the team on the bus, it was concluded that his Lisa must have been sitting in the car.
Arena whispers at FC Bayern:
But she wasn’t spotted at the Allianz Arena. Which wasn’t a bad thing in itself, because Lisa Müller didn’t miss much – despite all the premier class magic – if she had really been there.

Was Lisa Müller in the stadium? Arena whispers about the PSG game
However, whoever was there was definitely there Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting. Well, he actually had a good reason, after all his last two clubs were: FC Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain. So the man has more than just a certain connection to both teams.
The good Choupo currently has no connection to any team because he has been without a club since the summer. Was that why he first stood so clearly visible in the stands and then strolled through the mixed zone after the final whistle, seeking attention (but always protecting his children from busy reporters)?

Choupo-Moting before returning to FC Bayern? Arena whispers about the PSG game
Striking: The 35-year-old sought a conversation with Eberl. Maybe the Bayern boss has one of the many exciting projects in European football on offer for his ex-kicker?
Or maybe Choupo was just there to get the blessing of the Bavarian father. Because of course, when FC Bayern plays against PSG, Markus Söder cannot be missing in the Allianz Arena. Because the last time the game was great (in the summer of 2020), the Bavarian Prime Minister’s popularity ratings were also in positive territory for the last time.
As a wise poet once said? Times change you! He’s right. (smk)
