FC Bayern Munich made few squad changes for the 2008–09 season. With captain Oliver Kahn retiring and coach Ottmar Hitzfeld leaving to coach the Swiss national team, the team leaders had to be replaced. Jürgen Klinsmann was appointed as new coach as announced in December 2007. In August 2008, Klinsmann announced that Mark van Bommel would succeed Kahn as captain. Klinsmann was sacked in April 2009 when the club officials saw the club's minimum aim, qualification for the Champions League, in jeopardy after a string of games in which Bayern underperformed. Jupp Heynckes was appointed as caretaker manager.

Course of the season

Preseason

With Ottmar Hitzfeld not available for another season, Bayern announced in December 2007 that they had signed former Bayern player and recent manager of the German national team Jürgen Klinsmann as head coach for the 2008–09 season. Oliver Kahn had even before the 2007–08 season announced that this would be his last season as a player. He was replaced by former reserve goalkeeper Michael Rensing, whose spot was taken by the newly signed Hans-Jörg Butt. 2nd reserve goalkeeper Bernd Dreher had also retired and was replaced by the amateur Thomas Kraft. Reserve strikers Jan Schlaudraff (to Hannover 96) and Sandro Wagner (to MSV Duisburg) left the club, but found no replacements. After being loaned out for two seasons, midfielder Julio dos Santos left the club for good. The only field player added to the squad was Tim Borowski, who came from Werder Bremen. All changes were made before the Euro 2008. After the tournament, Bayern announced that they would make no further squad changes.[1]

Training for the 2008–09 season began on 30 June 2008. Several players were still on vacation due to Euro 2008 and Franck Ribéry was missing due to injury.[2] After a 45-minute in-training test against their own amateurs, the first official test was won at SV Lippstadt 7–1.[3][4] Further tests on 19 July in Nördlingen[5] and 20 July in Amberg[6] were won 8–0 and 11–1. The T-Home Supercup against Borussia Dortmund marked the first loss of the season (1–2).[7] After a goalless draw at 1. FC Köln on 26 July[8] Bayern went to Japan for a guestplay at Urawa Red Diamonds, beating the host 4–2.[9] On 5 August, Bayern hosted Internazionale in the Franz Beckenbauer Cup for the final test before the regular season and was defeated by Inter 1–0.[10]

August

On 8 August Klinsmann announced that Mark van Bommel would succeed Oliver Kahn as captain.[11] Two days later, in the first cup match, third league club Rot-Weiß Erfurt provided unexpected difficulties for the Bayern as the club went to catch up on a Bayern lead three times, before having to concede to Bayern's fourth goal.[12] In the opening game of the Bundesliga season 2008–09 hosted Hamburg. As Hamburg caught up from two goals behind, the game ended 2–2, leaving HSV yet unbeaten in the Allianz-Arena.[13] After another draw at Dortmund the succeeding week brought two squad changes for Munich as Jansen decided to leave Bayern for Hamburg[14] and Massimo Oddo was loaned out from Milan.[15] The first league victory followed against Berlin, 4–1.

September

Victories at Köln in the league and Steaua Bucureşti in the Champions League were followed up with a 2–5 loss at home against rival Werder Bremen and another away at Hannover 96 (0–1) on 27 September. Three days later, Bayern were held to 1–1 draw at home by Lyon in Champions League group play.

October

On 4 October, Bayern drew level with VfL Bochum, despite leading 3–1 with just seven minutes left in regulation. However, goals in the 84th and 85th minutes saw Marcel Koller's men leave the Allianz with a point.[16] A few days later Bayern lost a friendly at Ingolstadt 04[17] but proceeded to win all other games in the month, including the Champions League home game against Fiorentina.[18]

November

After a victory at home against Arminia Bielefeld[19] Bayern drew level in the Champions League at Fiorentina on 1 November.[20] The following victory against Steaua Bucureşti on 25 November qualified Bayern for the single elimination stage.[21] In the Bundesliga away matches at Schalke 04 and Borussia Mönchengladbach followed. While Bayern defeated rival Schalke[22] Bayern drew at Mönchengladbach, for the third time this season not winning against them, despite having led by two goals.[23] The games at home against Energie Cottbus[24] and away at Bayer Leverkusen were also won.[25]

December / January

On the 16th day of play, Bayern defeated current leader 1899 Hoffenheim, thus coming very close to the top of the standings.[26] The final match of the Champions League group stage was also won at Lyon, completing Bayern's best performance in the group stage.[27] A draw at VfB Stuttgart was Bayern's final game before the winter break.[28] Coincidentally Stuttgart was also Bayern's first opponent after the break. While Bayern won this cup game 5–1 away the first league match was lost at Hamburg 0–1.[29][30]

February

After winning at home against Borussia Dortmund,[31] Bayern lost their next two games at Berlin,[32] that thereby took the lead in the league, and at home against newly promoted Köln.[33] A 5–0 victory in the Champions League at Sporting CP was the final game of the month.[34]

March

After a draw in the league at Bremen Bayern was eliminated from the cup by Bayer Leverkusen.[35][36] Munich won all other games in the month, including a 7–1 in the 2nd leg against Sporting, thus achieving a record aggregate of 12–1.[37]

April

After 5–1 defeat in the league at Wolfsburg,[38] a direct rival for the championship, Bayern suffered another severe loss (4–0) at the hands of FC Barcelona.[39] Bayern held Barcelona to a draw in the second leg a week later but was elimininated from the competition nevertheless.[40] In the league Munich managed to win against underdogs Frankfurt and Bielefeld, but a home defeat at the hands of Schalke led to the dismissal of coach Klinsmann. The club appointed Jupp Heynckes as caretaker coach and Hermann Gerland as assistant caretaker coach.[41]

May

Bayern won their first three games under Heynckes as coach, defeating Mönchengladbach, Cottbus, and Leverkusen. A draw at Hoffenheim led to a delicate situation before the last game: Second-place Bayern hosted third-place Stuttgart. While the winner of the match would be qualified for the Champions League, and even win the championship if Wolfsburg lost, the loser would probably fall to the fourth place, thus not qualifying for the Champions League at all.[42] As fourth-place Berlin lost and Wolfsburg won, the game eventually just decided that Bayern would go to the Champions League directly while Stuttgart would go to the qualification. The season concluded with four friendly games at Kaufbeuren, Eichstätt, Magdeburg, and Sittard, which Munich won all.

Bundesliga

Bayern hosted Hamburg in the opener of the 46th Bundesliga season on 15 August 2008. On the last day of play on 23 May 2009 they won against Stuttgart, thus finishing second in the league. The second place qualified Bayern for the UEFA Champions League 2009–10.[43]

Matches

DFB-Pokal

In the first round of the cup Bayern faced Rot-Weiß Erfurt. The east Germans from the third tier were able to equalize three times before finally succumbing to Bayern. A victory at home against second-tier Nürnberg followed. In the third round Bayern managed one of their best performances of the season, winning 5–1 at Stuttgart, but they lost in the next round to Bayer Leverkusen.

The other group rivals were Lyon and Fiorentina.[44] They finished the group stage undefeated in first place and put away Sporting CP on a record margin in the first knockout round, but were not match for Barcelona in the quarter-final. Club officials spoke of a "massive humiliation" and being "taken apart" after the 0–4 in the first leg.[45]
