The FC Bayern pros completed a training session before returning to Munich on Saturday morning. The starting XI from Friday's 2-0 victory over FC Schalke joined Arturo Vidal, who returned from Chile on Thursday, on exercise bicycles for a regeneration session at the team hotel in Essen. The other players, two goalkeepers and five outfield players, completed a 50-minute session on the pitch at the nearby Uhlenkrugstadion.
