League success
Bayern’s Spanish esports trio of Alejandro Alguacil Segura (22), Miguel Mestre Oltra (20) and Jose Carlos Sanchez Guillen (27) are hoping to maintain their league rhythm with today’s friendly. They have been competing together in the KONAMI eFootball.Pro League since December 2019. The league consists of 10 teams battling for the virtual title on eFootball PES 2020. The campaign has gone very well so far for the Munich club with 20 points from 10 games, placing them second in the table and on course for a semi-final spot.
