Match Worn Shirt
Pfaff Jean-Marie
Did you Know?
This set was worn by Jean-Marie Pfaff during the Uefa Champions Cup semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich which took place in Madrid, “Santiago Bernabeu” stadium, on April 22nd 1987 and Pfaff played a legendary European match. Bayern won the first leg 4-1, and Pfaff made crucial saves in the 1-0 second-leg defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu to send Bayern to the final. This is an iconic Jean-Marie Pfaff goalkeeper shirt, manufactured by Adidas and featuring the distinctive padded chest construction that became a hallmark of Pfaff’s goalkeeper shirts throughout his career. The shirt also features the oversized “Commodore” chest sponsor, larger than the standard version and consistent with the style worn by Pfaff in this match against Real Madrid. This set originates directly from Jean-Marie Pfaff’s private collection and was personally offered by him through the auction of his own memorabilia collection, from which it was acquired. Pfaff joined Bayern Munich in 1982. In Munich he didn’t only discover a new football culture, but he was also exposed to the immense pressure of an absolute top club. Despite a false start in his debut match at Bremen (he underestimated one of Uwe Reinders’ famous long throw-ins and rebounded the ball into his own goal), Pfaff quickly became an indispensable link in the team. Three years after the abrupt end of Sepp Maier’s career – the Bayern icon who was critically injured in a car accident, Bayern had finally found a successor for the goalkeeper for the coming years. The 1986–87 Bundesliga was convincingly won by Bayern for the third time in a row, eventually ending with a 6 point lead over Hamburger SV. Their cup story had already ended in November after a heavy 3–0 defeat at Fortuna Düsseldorf. In the European Cup, Bayern were now able to eliminate Anderlecht with two wins this time. In the return match at the Bernabeu stadium, Real Madrid were also unable to make up for their heavy 1-4 defeat in the first leg. The final was played on 27 May 1987 in the Praterstadion, Vienna. Bayern, missing several key players due to suspensions and injuries, lost to FC Porto. For his performances with Bayern and with Belgium at the World Cup, Pfaff received the first trophy of best goalkeeper in the world in 1987 by the IFFHS.

The 1999 UEFA Champions League Final was a football match between Manchester United of England and Bayern Munich of Germany, played at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain, on 26 May 1999, to determine the winner of the 1998–99 UEFA Champions League. It is remembered for injury time goals from Manchester United’s Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær, which cancelled out Mario Basler’s early goal to give Manchester United a 2–1 win. United’s victory completed a treble-winning season, after they had won the Premier League and FA Cup. Bayern were also playing for a treble, having won the Bundesliga and reached the DFB-Pokal final, although they went on to lose that match. Referee Pierluigi Collina has cited this match as one of the most memorable of his career, and described the noise from the crowd at the end of the game as being like a “lion’s roar”.

The 2001 UEFA Champions League Final was a football match that took place at San Siro in Milan, Italy, on 23 May 2001, to decide the winner of the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League. The match pitted Bayern Munich against Valencia. The match finished in a 1–1 draw, but Bayern clinched their fourth title by winning 5–4 on penalties. This was also their first European Cup title in a quarter-century, also representing Valencia’s second consecutive final defeat (2000 and 2001). Due to all the goals scored by penalties and the penalty shootout needed to decide the winner, this UEFA Champions League match became an “all-penalty” final and the only one ever to happen to this day. The 2001 final saw the two previous seasons’ losing finalists clash, Bayern Munich lost to Manchester United in the 1999 final and Valencia lost to Real Madrid in the 2000 final. This was the sixth European Cup final to be decided on penalties, and the second under the Champions League format. This was Héctor Cúper’s third consecutive European final defeat (after his Mallorca side lost the 1999 Cup Winners’ Cup Final and Valencia lost to Real Madrid in the 2000 Champions League final) while Ottmar Hitzfeld claimed his second Champions League title after he won it with Borussia Dortmund in 1997. He became the second coach in European Cup history, after Ernst Happel, to win the competition with two clubs.

During the season 2001-2002 the team used the Adidas Terrestra Silverstream ball. The ball was originally the official match ball of the European Championship in 2000 which was held in The Netherlands and Belgium. Following their tradition of naming footballs based on the host nations, the name “Terrestra” was given to this football to represent the waterways and transport routes of Belgium and Holland.
As far as the term “Silverstream” is concerned, the waterways mentioned above glisten brightly in the sun. Due to this quality, the locals call them as Silver streams. Thus, the whole name Terrestra Silverstream was derived from the local passageways and the terminology which was adopted by the local citizens to describe them. Taking the cue from the Euro 1996 official match ball, Adidas made the Terrestra Silverstream softer and lighter. This was done to improve the midair movement of the ball, which had resulted in more goals in the preceding European tournament. In order to give this ball a softer outlook, such synthetic foam panels were used in its outer layers which were ergonomically manufactured. Therefore, in addition to satisfying the demands of their users, Adidas revealed their nature as a worker-friendly company by making Terrestra Silverstream. Inside, the ball was made of a layer of micro balloons which were compressed. This was done to distribute the impact of strike evenly on all parts of the ball. Consequently, Adidas eliminated the unpredictability in the midair movement of this ball by giving it a faster flight path. However, as exemplified by the goal of Luis Figo against England in the Championships – in which the ball moved wickedly after getting a deflection, this ball had some side effects which were addressed by Adidas in the coming years.

FC Bayern Munich failed to defend either the league or Champions League titles won in the previous season, finishing third in Bundesliga and losing out to eventual champions Real Madrid in the quarter final. Its reaction to the losses was signing Michael Ballack and Zé Roberto from Champions League finalists Bayer Leverkusen, as well as Sebastian Deisler form Hertha Berlin, with the midfield being singled out as the key area in which the side needed to improve upon. Bayern won the Intercontinental Cup in Tokyo (Japan) on November 26th defeating Boca Juniors 1-0. The team was instead defeated by Liverpool 3-2 in the Uefa Super Cup Final which took place in Montecarlo on Aug.24th.

Things to Know:
In the 2019/2020 season Bayern successfully defended their title, winning their 20th DFB-Pokal title after beating Bayer Leverkusen 4–2 in the final. With the win, Bayern completed their second consecutive and 13th domestic double overall, and therefore will play home (in a change of format; under old rules they would have played away as was the case the previous year) to 2019–20 Bundesliga runners-up Borussia Dortmund in the 2020 DFL-Supercup. Because Bayern qualified for the Champions League through the Bundesliga, the sixth-place team in the Bundesliga, 1899 Hoffenheim, earned qualification for the group stage of the 2020–21 edition of the UEFA Europa League, and the league’s second round spot went to the team in seventh, VfL Wolfsburg.

Davies had his first training session with Bayern on November 21, 2018, and debuted on January 12, 2019 against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Telekom Cup championship finale, which Bayern won on penalties following a scoreless draw. Davies made his Bundesliga debut on January 27 against VfB Stuttgart, appearing as a late substitute for Kingsley Coman in a 3–1 victory. He scored his first goal for Bayern on March 17, netting the final goal in a 6–0 rout of Mainz 05.

He is the first Canadian international to score for Bayern.[50] On May 18, 2019, Davies won his first Bundesliga title as Bayern finished two points above Dortmund with 78 points. A week later, Davies won his first DFB-Pokal as Bayern defeated RB Leipzig 3–0 in the 2019 DFB-Pokal Final. Davies was not selected for the match day squad.

On February 25, 2020, Davies set-up Robert Lewandowski’s goal in a 3–0 away win over Chelsea in the first leg of the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League; his performance during the match was widely praised in the media, with pundit Gary Lineker commenting that Davies played “beautifully,” while former U.S. international Stuart Holden described him as a “world class left back.” In April 2020, Bayern Munich and Davies agreed to a contract extension to 2025, adding two years onto his existing contract. Following the restart of the Bundesliga which had halted all matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Davies started against both Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund. He scored and assisted in the Frankfurt match and ended up running down Dortmund’s Erling Haaland at a speed of 35.3 kilometres per hour (21.9 mph). On June 16, 2020, Davies featured for Bayern against Werder Bremen in a game they won 1–0, securing Bayern Munich their eighth consecutive league title. Davies was sent off in the 79th minute for a second yellow card, but not before breaking the record for the fastest speed clocked in the Bundesliga at 36.51 kilometres per hour (22.69 mph). Davies was named the Bundesliga Rookie of the Year for the 2019–20 season. On August 14, 2020, Davies, who was playing the left-back position, was applauded for assisting Joshua Kimmich’s goal against Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals which Bayern Munich won with an impressive final score of 8–2. On August 23, he started in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, which Bayern won 1–0 to complete a continental treble; consequently, Davies became the first Canadian male international to win the Champions League.

Manuel Neuer joined Bayern on June 1st 2011. He made his move to Bayern Munich and signed a five-year contract that lasted until June 2016. After hostilities of Bayern fans against Neuer, as some fans were unhappy about Bayern buying a Schalke keeper, a round-table discussion between Bayern and group of supporters’ representatives took place on 2 July 2011. Among other things, it was decided that Neuer would be regarded as a full member of Bayern Munich, who should be treated with due respect. Furthermore, hostility towards him should cease. Right in the first weeks at Bayern, after a 0–0 draw with 1899 Hoffenheim, Neuer broke the Bayern Munich record for most competitive clean sheets in a row, having gone over 1,000 minutes without conceding. He improved the record formerly held by Oliver Kahn. On 21 May 2020, Neuer signed a new contract with Bayern, keeping him at the club until 2023. The 2019/2020 season was his 9th season with the team. On 23 August, 2020, Neuer won the Champions League for the second time, his first as Bayern captain, keeping a clean sheet as his team won 1–0 over PSG. He was widely praised for his performance.

This shirt was issued for Harry Kane for the Bundesliga game between Bayern Munich and Bochum which took place in Munich, “Allianz Arena”, on March 8th 2025. Bochum defeated Bayern 3-2. This is a special shirt used by the team in this game only that celebrates the club’s glorious 125-year history. Bayern was founded on 27 February 1900 by eleven players, led by Franz John. In 2025, Bayern München celebrates its 125-year anniversary. This special kit was released by the team supplier Adidas and it combines a red base with gold logos. Officially, the colors are Active Maroon / Dark Football Gold. On the left chest is a special shielded crest with laurel wreath details. Adidas uses its trefoil logo. On the right hem is a special jog tag with the lettering “125 Jahre FCB – Gegründet am 27. Februar 1900” (125 years of FCB – Founded on February 27, 1900). An all-over pattern with historic club crest rounds covers the shirt, adding another anniversary touch. The style of the crest and overall shirt of the Bayern 125-year anniversary kit also takes inspiration from the foundation charter. On August 12th 2023, Bayern Munich announced the signing of Kane on a four-year contract. Kane became the most expensive signing in Bundesliga history, costing €100 million plus €10 million bonuses in transfer fees, surpassing the €80 million transfer fee paid by Bayern Munich for Lucas Hernandez in 2019. He made his debut for Bayern on the same day he joined the club, as a 64th-minute substitute in a 3–0 defeat to RB Leipzig in the 2023 DFL-Supercup. He scored his first goal for the club on the opening day of the 2023–24 Bundesliga season, also providing the assist for Leroy Sané’s early opener, as Bayern won 4–0 away to Werder Bremen. In the season 2024/2025, on 16 August 2024, Kane scored his first goal of the season in the first match of Bayern Munich’s competitive campaign in a 4–0 DFB-Pokal victory over SSV Ulm 1846. On 1 September, Kane scored his first regular season goal of the season when he converted penalty kick in a 2–0 victory over SC Freiburg. On 14 September, Kane scored his first hat-trick of the campaign with the help of a penalty in a 6–1 victory over newly promoted Holstein Kiel, which also meant that he has scored at least one goal against every Bundesliga side he has faced. Three days later, Kane recorded a second consecutive hat-trick when he netted four times past Dinamo Zagreb with the help of three penalties in a 9–2 victory in the first match of Bayern Munich’s Champions League campaign. With 33 goals, he became the highest-scoring Englishman in the Champions League, beating the previous record of 30 by Wayne Rooney. On 21 September, Kane scored in a 5–0 win over Werder Bremen, overtaking Jadon Sancho to become the highest-scoring Englishman in the Bundesliga. On 22 November, Kane scored a hat-trick against FC Augsburg to become the fastest player to reach 50 goals in the Bundesliga. He scored 50 goals in 43 Bundesliga games, overtaking Erling Haaland’s record of 50 in 50. His next Bundesliga record was scoring 55 goals in 50 games after he netted twice against Holstein Kiel in a 4–3 win. On 4 May 2025, Kane won his first major honour, the 2024–25 Bundesliga title, where following a draw against RB Leipzig the previous day (Kane was unable to partake in that match due to a suspension because of an accumulation of yellow cards), Bayer Leverkusen could only manage a draw against SC Freiburg, mathematically crowning Bayern champions with two games to spare. On 11 May, Kane lifted the first trophy of his career as Bayern Munich celebrated their Bundesliga title success. Kane finished the season as the top scorer for the second consecutive season and was named the Bundesliga Player of the Season recognising his continued outstanding performances with Bayern Munich.

This ball was used during the Fifa Club World Cup 2025 game between Bayern Munich and Auckland City F.C. which took place in Cincinnati, “TQL Stadium”, on June 15th 2025. Bayern Munich defeated Auckland City 10-0 and with this score team romped to the biggest victory in Club World Cup history. Before the newly expanded edition this summer, Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal held the record, having beaten UAE club Al Jazira 6-1 in 2022. The other heaviest scorelines include Esperance beating Al Sadd 6-2 in 2019, Monterrey beating Al Ahly 5-1 in 2013, Barcelona beating Santos 4-0 in 2011 and Manchester City beating Fluminense 4-0 in 2023. On Sunday afternoon, Bayern became the first team to score seven goals in one game at a Club World Cup. This ball was exclusively made for the Fifa Club World Cup 2025 competition and it features an iconic design and cutting-edge technology. The ball’s design pays homage to the host nation, the United States, incorporating bold graphics and emblems that celebrate and reflect the country’s heritage. Set against a pearlescent background, the match ball showcases striking jagged-edged block patterns and deconstructed stars and stripes in red, white and blue in a nod to the nation’s flag. The Official Match Ball is engineered to provide greater in-game accuracy thanks to PRECISIONSHELL – a 20-piece panel shape with strategically placed debossed grooves on the ball’s outer shell. Another performance benefit is to be found under the surface in the form of CTR-CORE technology, which is designed to enhance accuracy and consistency in flight and helps to retain maximum shape and air retention with a view to supporting fast, precise play. In addition, the integrated connected ball technology sends inertial measurement unit data to the video-assistant-referee system at a rate of 500 times per second in real time. When combined with player position data and the application of artificial intelligence, the technology helps video match officials to make faster offside decisions and can also aid them in identifying each individual touch of the ball, resulting in reduced delays in resolving specific incidents, e.g. possible handball offences. The ball was taken after the game by a Bayern Munich player whom we got it from.
