FC Bayern scored four beautiful goals against VfB Stuttgart, but the most emotional and moving moment on this fine afternoon was Holger Badstuber's comeback after exactly 200 days on the sidelines.
“It was an unbelievable reception. It was very emotional,” commented the centre-back, visibly moved by the atmosphere at the Allianz Arena. “It sent shivers down my spine.” 59 minutes into the contest FCB's home-grown product prepared for his return on the touchlines – and the crowd welcomed him with thunderous applause.
“What our fans did for Holger was very emotional,” said Pep Guardiola, who was also impressed by the atmosphere, repeatedly thanking the fans. Philipp Lahm also spoke of “a moment that sent shivers down your spine,” whereas Arjen Robben said: “He's had a tough time. He's had his reward today. He's fought his way back.”
