Bayern Munich played out a comfortable 3-0 win over Union Berlin, ensuring it will remain at the top of the table following the conclusion of matchday nine. Bayern’s dominance gave head coach Vincent Kompany the perfect opportunity to test youngster Adam Aznou in his first Bundesliga match.
The former La Masia player came on in the eightieth minute in a like-for-like swap with left-back Alphonso Davies, and while not enough time to make a significant mark on the game, getting minutes on the pitch is the most important thing for Aznou at this stage.
After the match, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl was captured (via @iMiaSanMia) speaking about the 18-year-old’s debut, saying, “He has incredible potential and that’s why we’re happy that he’s now made it to the professional level. Hopefully, there will be many more games to come.”
Having already made his debut on the international stage for Morocco, and being included on the bench in Bayern’s matchday squad on multiple occasions, it was only a matter of time before Aznou took to the pitch in the league. If he continues with his rapid trajectory, Aznou could be ready to replace a potentially outgoing Davies come the end of the season.
