For years, Bayern Munich fans bemoaned the club for its refusal (or maybe inability) to commit to a true youth movement.
Consider that period of time over.
When Maycon Cardozo entered the game in the 60th minute, the 17-year-old became the seventh teenager to feature for the Bavarians during this campaign. That number was the most for the Bavarians in any season where they were in Germany’s top flight:
7 – With Maycon Douglas Cardozo, FC Bayern has already deployed 7 teenagers in the current Bundesliga season, and thus more than in any other season in the top flight before. Youth. #FCBBMG
The complete list of teenagers is as follows:
- Lennart Karl
- Jonah Kusi-Asare
- Cassiano Kiala
- David Santos Daiber
- Wisdom Mike
- Felipe Chávez
- Maycon Cardozo
That is an impressive group of talent for Bayern Munich as there could be some bright futures among that Magnificent 7. While Kusi-Asare has had a tough time at Fulham since leaving Bavaria, there could be multiple players, who have good careers emerging from that list.
Not too bad, eh?
