After beating RB Leipzig 5-4 on penalties in the DFB Cup second round FC Bayern have to wait for a few days before learning the identity of their next opponents. The draw for the Round of 16 takes place on Sunday at 18.00 CET. Former Bayern captain Stefan Effenberg will draw the lots. "I hope he'll hand us a home match," commented Karl-Heinz Rummenigge after FCB made it to the last sixteen for the 17th time on the bounce. The ties will be played on 19 and 20 December 2017.
Milestone for Vidal
Arturo Vidal made his 100th competitive appearance in Bayern colours on Wednesday evening. Robert Lewandowski extended his run, making the starting line-up in a competitive match for the 15th consecutive time this season. The Poland captain is the only Bayern pro to boast this feat.
