Bavarian Loan Works: Two loanees team up for goal, keepers show out

Loanees are still going strong in European competitions as we go into the final week of the league phase

Bayern Munich loanees had a busy week, with a few of them involved in European competitions and multi-match weeks. Peretz picked up his first shutout and league win for his new team, while two other goalkeepers secured shutouts this week. We also saw two loanee teammates team up to score a goal in Switzerland. See what all the active loanees were up to, plus the status of each loanee’s team going into the last week of the league phases in the Champions League and Europa League.

FC Bayern Munich
There are ten players from on loan from the first team.

Germany – Bundesliga
There are three players on loan to the German Bundesliga: Alexander Nübel, Arijon Ibrahimovic, and Armando Sieb.

Alexander Nübel – VfB Stuttgart
Nübel started for Stuttgart away to AS Roma in the Europa League on Thursday. He had two saves in the first half and conceded one goal to go down 1-0 at halftime. In the second half, he did not face another shot on goal until he conceded a second goal late in stoppage time to put Stuttgart’s comeback chances away. Their attack could not help Nübel out, and they fell 2-0.

Stuttgart was back in Germany on Sunday, but on the road for the second time this week, when they faced Borussia Monchengladbach. Nübel started the match out with penalty save down and away. He had three total saves, which his teammates matched with three goals. Stuttgart won big away 3-0.

Stuttgart hosts BSC Young Boys in the final match of the Europa League league phase. They are two points out of the top eight, but there is only an outside chance that they get the bye. Stuttgart will host Freiburg in Bundesliga play on Sunday.

Arijon Ibrahimović – 1. FC Heidenheim
Ibrahimović started for Heidenheim at home against RB Leipzig. He had two shots — one on goal and one missed — but did not have a lot more to contribute in the attack. He tried to help on defense with one tackle, two blocks, and seven recoveries. He helped his team hold Leipzig to a single goal in the first 63 minutes when he was subbed off. Leipzig quickly scored two more goals and Heidenheim fell 3-0 at home.
