From the bottom to the top

A little girl from Argentina’s documentary about how she rose to the top.

Martina X Fcb Femeni

5th June 1998, Cordoba, Argentina

“She looks just like her father”

“Martina, that’s her name.”

2000, 2 years old

“Martina, i’m sorry. I love you, i promise”

“When i was two years old i was placed into foster care. My father died while on active duty, in the army, and my mother just left me. She’s tried to contact me, many times actually, since that day, but i’ve told her to stop calling, so i’ve not heard from her in years. I was a baby and she left me.”

2003, 5 years old

“When i turned five i found my first home. The people who adopted me seemed lovely, at first. They had a big house and two other daughters, a couple years older than me. Their two daughters didn’t like me, and i was always left out. My foster parents, at the time, treated me as an incomer, not like their daughter. I didn’t get the things the other two got. For example, when we went out to eat they could get whatever they wanted, however i had a limited number of options. At one point my behaviour got worse so they put my back. I only lasted around eight months with them.”

2005, 7 years old

“I didn’t find another home until two years later. I was getting schooled at the foster centre and i was doing good. This time i was adopted by a single mother who, at first, treated me amazingly. I felt at home, we did everything together. However, the day she fell pregnant was the day that everything changed. As soon as she found out she packed my things, threw them in the car along with me. I knew what was happening since it wasn’t the first time. She didn’t say a word to me, she just took me back to hell”

2009, 11 years old

“I hated life. No one wanted me, and i had no one to talk to. I started playing football, in the centre. The workers started to get annoyed, but whenever they took the ball from me my behaviour just got so much worse so they allowed me to join an armature team. I loved it. I made friends, a few anyway, and i was named captain after my first year there”

2010, 12 years old

“As soon as i turned 12 a few teams from around the country started sniffing around me, even a few from other countries in south America, like Brazil, but i opted to stay where i was as my team was only getting stronger. Every other day i had training. I trained and then returned. The days where i didn’t train my behaviour was really bad, and all of the workers noticed this. A few parents came to meet me, but none of them wanted me which only made my behaviour worsen.”

2012, 14 years old

“The day i turned fourteen is the day everything changed. I was at training when the coach pulled me aside, he told me there was a team from Europe who were looking to sign me. He didn’t tell me who. He bought me a one way flight ticket to London. I told the foster workers that i was leaving, and they stopped me from doing so. I wasn’t of legal age so they didn’t let me. After this they failed to control my behaviour. I hated them and i blamed them for ruining my dream.”

2013, 15 years old

“I turned 15 and my coach, yet again, came to me after training. He told me the team in Europe were still interested and still wanted me. He told me the club was in England, and he, yet again, bought me a one way ticket to London. This time the foster workers couldn’t stop me. They tried, but ultimately failed. They had a couple coming in to meet me, but i didn’t want to meet them, i wanted to leave and never come back, so that’s exactly what i done. I left Argentina as a fifteen-year-old-girl with no family and flew to London, a foreign county all by myself in search of my dream”

2014, 16 years old

“My first year at Arsenal was awful, i hated it. I hated London and i hated the club. I couldn’t speak English, but they made no effort in getting me lessons nor getting me a translator. I was treated like a foreigner, and not an Arsenal player. Despite my goal scoring record, i rarely started. And my host family wanted nothing to do with me. I wanted to end my life. Nothing was worth living for anymore. I was so close. So close”

2016, 18 years old

“After one final year at Arsenal, in 2015, i terminated my contract with the club. Nothing had changed. I took a break for a little while until, after my eighteenth birthday, i received a call from the Barcelona academy manager, who wanted me to trial with the club. I accepted in a heartbeat. As a Barcelona fan, i couldn’t not accept”

“Within a week i was a Barcelona player. I was originally signed to the Academy but after a month and a half, i was handed my first professional contract and began to train with the first team and appear on the bench for their fixtures”

“After a couple of months i made my debut, off the bench, in the Champions League against Arsenal. The score, when i came on, was 1-1, and the game had approximately seven minutes to go. When i came on all i wanted to do was play my own game. I stole the ball from one of the Arsenal players and charged down the heart of the pitch, breaking through Arsenals midfield and defence, and then i easily slotted the ball into the back of the net. In celebration i kissed the Barcelona badge and done the ‘shhh’ celebration towards my ex club.”

“I didn’t realise it at the time, but this day changed my life for the better, and it saved me in a way.”

2017, 19 years old

“After a year of being around the first team, i managed to score seventeen goals, which is insane. I also made so many friends. My best friends are Alexia, Mapi, Patri and Pina. I remember the day Alexia came up to me, i was so shy and only gave her short one word answers, but as time went on i grew more comfortable and i, one day, told her about my past and since that day she has took it upon herself to protect me from everything and everyone.”

2018, 20 years old

“At the age of twenty i had a few offers from other clubs, like Manchester City and Lyon, but i turned them both down because i had a feeling that this club was going to become the best club in the world. Later in the year we got pretty deep into the Champions League, but it was Wolfsburg who knocked us out in the semifinal stage. That game opened our eyes, it showed us the level we had to be at and if anything it motivated us even more.”

2019, 21 years old

“In 2019 we made it to our first final, against Lyon, and we lost. After the game i was in tears but i remember Alexia coming over to me and picking me up. I remember her words clearly..

“We’ve came so far. A few years ago this wasn’t possible, and now look at us. This will take time, but we can do it. We’ve got work to do. This final shows us where we need to be and this will only motivate us to try again next year. Remember, a winner is only a loser who tried more than once.”

“She motivated me. She gave me all the motivation i needed, and i was ready to come back and win this competition. I was ready. We were ready.”

2021, 23 years old

“Last year we didn’t play much, due to Covid, but this year we’re back. This year was one of the best of my life, so far. We bet PSG, City too, and we made it to the final. However this time, not against Lyon, but against Chelsea, a team we weren’t used to meeting. A few days before the game, in training, Alexia pulled up with a hamstring injury. Everyone’s worst nightmare seemed, at that moment, to be coming true. Heads dropped, but on the day of the final, Alexia wrapped her leg up and was named in the starting eleven, despite not training with us the day before. Having Alexia with us gave us all the strength we needed, and when we beat the English side 4-0, in the Champions League final, i ran to the captain and fell into her arms, both of us holding on for deal life before we were joined by a few more of our teammates”

“Lifting the trophy brought tears to my eyes, i couldn’t believe it. All of the hard work paid off. I knew we would become the best team in the world, i knew it. I love this club with my whole heart. This season was historic, we won the treble”

“At the end of this season my contract was ending. I had a lot of good offers, from some of Europes top clubs, but i didn’t even listen to them, i told my agent to turn everyone down and wait for a Barcelona extension. I signed a three year extension with Barcelona, with no doubts in my mind, this is the place i want to be.”

2022, 24 years old

“Twenty-Twenty-Two, the best year of my life, for the most part. We broke records, playing in Camp Nou, against Madrid and Wolfsburg, we went unbeaten in the league, not dropping a single point. We won both cups, but we fell short, yet again, against Lyon in the champions league final. This game broke me. Alexia, after the final whistle, fell to the ground in tears, much like i did. People tried to console me, but no one managed to, until Pina came over. The younger girl grabbed my hands and sat me up, she then sat beside me and pulled me into her arms. She didn’t speak, nor did i. But she didn’t need to, her warmth was all i needed, in that moment, to know that everything will be okay.”

“I’ve been at Barcelona for six years now, since i was eighteen-years-old, and i’ve enjoyed every moment, and will continue to do so. I don’t want to play for anyone else, i was to stay where i am, playing for the best team in the world, for the rest of my career.”

“I was once a broken girl with an impossible dream.”

“This is a reminder, nothing is impossible. Never give up, and keep fighting for your dreams, because if you want it enough, you can achieve it.”

These new FC Bayern stars only come in a double pack

The top soccer players Pernille Harder and Magdalena Eriksson are moving to Munich on July 1st. What connects the two privately and on the pitch.

On her first day on Grünwalder Strasse, Pernille Harder internalized what was faltering at FC Bayern Munich . She had hardly signed the new professional contract when the Danish record striker reminded the fans of the club's motto in Bavarian: "Mia san mia!" Interestingly, "mia" is short for "billion" in Danish. The FCB men's squad is worth almost a billion, but as is well known, it has often lacked the much-vaunted Munich feeling of togetherness.

Just as close as the men, the women's team of the record champions also won their fifth title this year, but with significantly less noise. In the 2023/2024 season, the championship is again the declared goal of the women - and in 30-year-old Pernille Harder they have signed one of the best offensive players in the world. She doesn't come alone: Swedish defensive expert Magdalena Eriksson, Harder's partner, has also signed a professional contract with FC Bayern until 2026 . Both were previously on the pitch at Chelsea, winning the English Championship and the FA Women's Cup with the Blues.

Harder and Eriksson are used to playing together – privately since 2014, twice in the same team on the pitch: in 2016 they won the Swedish championship with Linköpings FC, in 2020 Harder followed her friend to London .

She knows the Bundesliga from her time at VfL Wolfsburg: Between 2017 and 2020, Harder shot the Wolves to the championship and the cup four times. When she moved to London, she was the most expensive soccer player in the world at a transfer fee of 330,000 euros. Both players are coming to Bayern Munich on a free transfer.

Leaving Chelsea was a tearful one, especially for Magdalena Eriksson. For four years she was captain of the blues. When she was presented with the framed jersey with the number 16 in the Kingsmeadow stadium with its 4,800 seats in mid-May, the 29-year-old lost her voice. "I love you guys," she said to the fans, "and I want to say thank you for everything." It's good that her friend was standing next to her at that moment, grabbing the microphone and completing the parting words. Since the time at Chelsea, the two have only been in a double pack. "It means a lot to me that we can move here together and stay together," said Harder in Munich , "we already had a long-distance relationship, we don't want that again."

Off the pitch, Harder and Eriksson campaign for LGBTIQ rights

The sporting director of the FCB women, Bianca Rech, is convinced that these two can "make the difference" in the Munich game. Harder and Eriksson are also "incredible personalities" off the pitch. Anyone who follows them on Instagram knows about their commitment to LGBTIQ rights. Incidentally, her beliefs flow into the posts, Eriksson wears them as a tattoo on his shoulder. "We are all human and we shouldn't judge anyone," it says in Swedish. Among her followers is world-famous British top model Cara Delevingne , herself a queer activist. In addition to the square, the boulevard has long since discovered the two, but the couple rarely gets involved in advertising deals and photo shoots:in pink tulle skirts and hoodies. They have been moderating the talk show “The Hangout” for Sky Sports since 2022. Soccer stars like Megan Rapinoe talk about their experiences as queer athletes.

In the Bundesliga, both also want to develop individually. "Seeing the German national team play at the European Championships last summer shows how the Bundesliga is developing"Harder says in the welcome video on Bayern's YouTube channel. "I'm excited to be back in the league." Her partner has no experience of the Bundesliga. In European football, however, she is a star and was nominated for the Ballon d'Or in 2021 and was voted into the Women's World Cup that same year, which she attributes to her hunger for wins: "One of my greatest talents as a footballer is that I've always had this urge to constantly improve", says Eriksson in the video. "Taking on a new challenge only makes me hungrier for success and for learning more." But she can also be modest: "Coming into a new football culture and a new team, that makes me humble."

Waiting for the turning point

As you all know, things have not exactly been going well for our FCB in recent weeks.

You can be sure that we as a team are dealing with this situation in a very self-critical manner. I definitely have the feeling that we're trying to turn things around every game. But we simply haven't managed it yet.

So, let's get to work to seize the big opportunity on Tuesday and change that again.

Champions League - It's all to play for

The upcoming home game against Lazio has been on my mind for two and a half weeks. It's no empty phrase when I say that Champions League evenings at home in Munich were and are always something special.

Before I became a player, I was already a fan. On these evenings, when everything is at stake in crucial knockout matches, the tension is palpable for everyone - fans and players alike. There's a thrill in the air.

The sporting starting position for Tuesday is clear: we are one goal behind. But that's a doable task.

I am convinced that we will march like a fire department. It will also be important that we remain disciplined despite our drive. The scoreboard doesn't care whether we score right at the start or in the middle of the second half.

There's not much more to say. On Tuesday, it's all heart and brain.

Pack ma's.

Thomas Müller bleibt bis 2024

Der Rekordmeister bleibt beim Rekordmeister: Der FC Bayern hat den Vertrag mit Thomas Müller vorzeitig bis 2024 verlängert. Der 32-jährige Offensivspieler kam bereits im Alter von zehn Jahren zum deutschen Rekordmeister, durchlief sämtliche Juniorenmannschaften und wurde hier 2008 zum Profi. Die zehnte Meisterschaft des FC Bayern in Serie war seine insgesamt elfte im Trikot der „Roten" - kein Spieler in der Geschichte des deutschen Fußballs hielt die Schale öfter in die Luft.

Oliver Kahn, Vorstandsvorsitzender: „Thomas Müller ist eine Identifikationsfigur, die das Wappen unseres Clubs im Herzen trägt. Den FC Bayern hat schon immer Kontinuität ausgezeichnet, und deshalb sind wir glücklich, dass es uns gelungen ist, auch mit diesem wichtigen Spieler zu verlängern. Er ist einer, der Führung übernimmt, außerdem ist er mit seiner Art in der Kabine ein wichtiger Charakter."

Hasan Salihamidžić, Sportvorstand: „Thomas Müller kann man sich ohne den FC Bayern nicht vorstellen - und den FC Bayern nicht ohne Thomas Müller. Deshalb sind wir sehr glücklich, dass Thomas seinen Vertrag vorzeitig bis zum Sommer 2024 verlängert hat. Thomas ist ein erfolgshungriger Führungsspieler, er ist ein Vorbild auf dem Platz und neben dem Platz und verkörpert den FC Bayern, wie es besser nicht geht."

Thomas Müller: „Ich freue mich sehr, heute meinen Vertrag beim FC Bayern München bis 2024 verlängert zu haben. Der gemeinsame Weg, seit ich im Jahr 2000 in die Jugend des FCB gewechselt bin, war bisher eine fantastische Erfolgsgeschichte. Es macht mir unheimlich Spaß, die roten Farben jedes Jahr aufs Neue auf und neben dem Spielfeld hochzuhalten. Selbst dann, wenn einem auch mal der Wind ins Gesicht bläst. Also Pack ma's weiterhin gemeinsam an!"

Thomas Müller aus Pähl am Ammersee in der Nähe von München wurde mit dem FC Bayern unter anderem elf Mal Deutscher Meister, gewann je zwei Mal die Champions League, die Klub-WM und den UEFA Supercup sowie sechs Mal den DFB-Pokal. Im Profibereich bestritt er bisher 624 Pflichtspiele für den deutschen Rekordmeister. 2014 gewann er mit der deutschen Nationalmannschaft in Brasilien den WM-Titel.
