Discussing the signing, Bayern’s campus director Jochen Sauer said: “Chris made a very good impression.

Nubel is widely regarded as their heir to the legendary Manuel Neuer and is set to follow the same path as his compatriot, who joined the record Bundesliga champions from the Gelsenkirchen outfit in 2011.

Robert Lewandowski and Corentin Tolisso secured a 2-1 success at the Constant Vanden Stockstadion, but Jupp Heynckes’ men rode their luck for large parts.

Bayern’s massive advantage ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Istanbul gives Heynckes freedom to rest some of his key players, with Robben set to sit the game out. “James [Rodriguez] is training with the team recently, but of course he’s an option, just like Thiago,” Heynckes told reporters....

Bayern did not necessarily exceed expectations. This was a match against a team that isn’t expected to even get past the group stages; even drawing the game was out of the discussion. Bayern fans flocked the arena and were hoping for a very solid win. That’s exactly what they got. The match started with Bayern immediately taking the upper hand in possession of the ball and consistency of attack.
