The Olympiastadion home to Bayern Munich from 1972 and to 2005.
It became a fortress where opponents seldom prosper further afield the mid-70s Oh Bayern Munich when the European Cup three years in succession this golden era for the club signalled the power shift in European football and Bayern Munich were the pride of a nation you in 1972 the West German national team became European champions for the first time two years later as hosts they won the World Cup in Munich and the foundations for both triumphs were laid at one club Bayern Munich Franz Beckenbauer was captain of both club and country guard Miller was a phenomenal provider of goals.
Paul Breitner thrillingly turns defence into the attack.
While at the heart of the defence was hands George Watson Beck Billy harness provided pace and power upfront and goalkeeper Sepp Maier was another dependable last line of defence Carvana forget it shouldn't be forgotten that from 1972 76 zip there were I think about eight or nine players who played all the time nine Valera expeller and six years the same team yada and this was obviously one of our strengths or definitely an honest dagger it was practically an identical team a well-oiled uni for Denis we all knew what the others would do on the pitch and that was decisive in the chamber today by a boast a proud history one established by those six internationals and their teammates who in a few short years helped the club emerge from relative obscurity to centre stage for the spell it football thrives on tradition and by a.
Munich has become so popular.
Has always had a huge fan base the foundations were laid at the end of the 60s beginning of the 70s byun weren't in the Bundesliga when it was born and had to gain promotion from the regional league south of stake in the 1963-64 season Bayern missed out on such promotion defeat to eventual playoff group winners Borussia nine kicking proved decisive but for many defeat was a blessing in disguise Yvonne d we were the best team in that group but will conspire to defeat ourselves dance music are thankfully we didn't get promoted that year and that gave our younger players like said Mayer more time to develop they all had one more season in the regional league to gain more experience.
Then in 1965 we gained promotion to the Bundesliga team the following year by on top two regional leagues but still had to get through a playoff stage this time the outcome was very different and it no when away over tennis Borussia Berlin on the final day sealed by Anne's place in the Bundesliga for the first time you a triumphant season also witnessed the emergence of GAD Miller and Franz Beckenbauer they scored 33 and 16 goals, respectively and the seeds of future greatness had unmistakably been sawn miss - skip GERD müller's is the most important German footballer in history and no one else will get without him ,I would not be sitting here today and buying would not be where they are today even yard pela was an exception along with a couple of others but France Kaiser has we called him was really something special but mainly it as a person as a player and as a teammate, he was simply an idea and I'd add there will ever be a personality of the sporting of Germany even the world who can compare to him would after bait saga Beckenbauer significantly enhanced the role of the Libero of the sweeper.
GAD Muller was frequently the beneficiary and importantly Diggity never find a nicer more pleasant person than him and in addition, he scored all the goals for us what's the feelings without gas wallah we've never had the success that we enjoyed your teeth leave me in France no one got past France he was fast just so fast so no one got anywhere near him Diane reached the final of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1967 having won the West German Cup for the second time the previous season as we were lucky in the fact that we were able to play the final in Nuremberg which made it almost a home game for us we were the outsiders as would anything promoted the previous season after for the final against Rangers of Scotland was decided in extra time.
I was fortunate enough to score the goal in extra time the one was our first international trophy born 10 days later they lifted the second consecutive domestic Cup and in 1969 Bayern became West German champions for the first time since 1932 Yvan Don like any of the Centers a capable team able to perform an old enough to be able to withstand the pressure this is when the best period came around for bias even though we become West German champions once already on one both a domestic cup and the cup winners Calcutta Cosima Govardhan so we were already very successful but we gained the right experience to really enjoy more success mere effort to harden crucial to that success was rue de la tech appointed manager in 1970 Lange caused a motive he was a big motivator.
Arnold was well informed on tactics.
Cuando I could get the best out of every player fifty eyes down he was able to inspire us and get 100% effort out of every single one of us oh no pretend how asking kids it had automatic account Ludo Latin came to us in 1970 and it turned out to be an ideal appointment is the latter collected understood him how to unite the team, two foreign men, Bayern regained the league title in 1972 a campaign which included this eleven one flashing of Borussia Dortmund he scored 101 goals and 34 games with guard made contributing 40 a Bundesliga record by a silver Glen out ever since I was a young boy I was a goalscorer in the national team.
I had great players around me and I always knew that when I got the ball I'd score that high a nine yeah he had a nose for goal that's essential it's something that can't be taught and that was a good mullet pass he could score with any part of his body and toward your mouth, they wished each dish Villa the most important player for Bayern Munich again Miller was GERD Milan if the best of his day he wasn't the best football ass could kind of dove it but there is nobody in the world who managed to score goals like he did our kinda game and there never will be somewhere he plays the way his mother did was busted over 15 seasons Miller scored 398 goals and 453 appearances and finished leading scorer in the Bundesliga on seven occasions but even he could not prevent European elimination in 1973 by IAC's.

Who went on to become Continental champions for the third time in a role for the way ahead in the German league that doesn't really mean much on the European stage it's a zerg Liam does okay it meant success at how bad he can't afford a 4/4 a torpor a team first has to grow together and gain experience them we hadn't rung Gillian well we definitely did learn from them as IAC's had the perfect team they played at a very high tempo and we realized that this was an area in which we have to improve my aunt did manage to retain their league title that season Nuala was the leading scorer once again with 36 goals and the following season they finally reached the European Cup final this three no home win over Hungary's Jewish past dosa clinching their place just four days before the final against Manuel's Atletico Madrid Bayern completed a hat-trick of successive Bundesliga titles.
But the champagne was put on ice via haben we didn't celebrate at all about the unwanted obviously of we immediately began to focus on the final of the European Cup Oh Abba and we said okay that we'll celebrate winning the Bundesliga title as much after the European Cup ardian our backup that match was played in the Belgian capital of Brussels and it was buy-ins first appearance in a European Cup finals though German supporters outnumbered the Spanish counterparts on the pitch the watchword was cautioned by the site now those teams were playing very defensively nobody wanted to concede a goal so both of us were just waiting to counter-attack of Kentucky law the game finished goalless after 90 minutes and went into extra time with just six minutes remaining Atletico took the lead by Anne's dream appeared to be over how.
I might ask you feel I think that something developed or something was even born now take it could still exist at FC Bayern never giving Alf gay and a winning mentality Talia Tate only a minute was laughed when hands yarks Watson back tried his luck from distance marathons it was a massive weight off her shoulders which died a huge relief we felt we had another chance that's not done that was such an important goal in the sense that it gave us a psychological advantage for Taya 48 hours later the replay took place at the same venue the demands of a long season were taking the toll the hot nights white-ish we're forced to replay but nobody thought we would do the fact of this and that was the deciding factor gallant I can now tell you in the replay we already knew you actually managed to play at all my equipment Hana's himself gave by a halftime lead reading smooth whoever took the lead had won the game.
It was a great feeling tough fire yeah one gorgeous Khufu remarkably the following day Bayern had to play their final Bundesliga fixture of the season vivid ain't love - no exciting boy there's buddy estimate it was the first time that a German team had one that counted the party without sleeping on it socially and travelled to mönchengladbach lopaka fun we had a good meal accompanied by a few beers automatic I guess and then went out onto the pitch at all and nobody was completely sober the Vark I know gun sniff did that much was clear but I see I mentioned gladly back inflicted a 5-nothing defeat on the new European champions but it was a result quickly forgotten as by and celebrated the European Cup.
Bundesliga double orthorhombic was a dream come true.
It was wonderful in Munich there was a feeling of euphoria that you couldn't comprehend the main square Marienplatz and all the streets around it the cram so it was an incredible occasion for Bayern success was built upon a classic 4-4-2 formation in gold set Meyer made over 500 appearances for the club at his table he dominated the box like no other goalkeeper helpers even in today's game and for me, if he was really the best in the world ahead of him Franz Beckenbauer was the heartbeat of the team the sweeper who loved to go forward I don't speak more when Franz Beckenbauer got forward it was my job to fall back into his position at file Azam and Olli harness was the ideal foil for GERD Muller upfront Willy Hearn is my Honus was particularly important for away games.
Because he was outstanding on the counter-attack he was very quick and we where the goal was poor that summer Ernest and six of his teammates helped West Germany to win the World Cup on home soil Paul Breitner and gad Miller scored the goals that overcame the Netherlands in the final Beckenbauer proudly lifted the trophy but that success proved detrimental to buy him a glove enough someone has a song, I think after a season like that if he doesn't logically is you're not going to be as fit the next campaign is all and maybe not even as motivated as he had begun to what year does a month on their first match a six nil defeat away to kick-ups off and back was a sign of things to come coach judo latch was dismissed in January 1975 with the team laboring in 14th possession after 17 games he was replaced by Detmar Kramer who cut short his spell in charge of the United States national team then da Ville' I'm a spy not winning any titles then usually the manager is the first one to be blamed I guess as normal our team doesn't think too much about it.
I'm a Tito they accept the next manager the exhibit and just carry on Lina or not later he knew my sous chef Crenn we had no chance of winning the league title, yeah and so it was at the beginning of February and from that, a group of us decided after we lost my first three games in charge that we would try our utmost to win the European Cup you know oh God and they were on course by understanding to the European Cup final once again this 5-3 aggregate win over East Germany's Magdeburg one of several impressive victories on the way the final was held in Paris and their opponents were Leeds United of England the Adams airfield we were full of confidence especially in the European Cup that's what and we were quietly confident that we could possibly be I use United our continent but by a lost the Swedish defender John Anderson early in the game.
Yeah we were very unlucky because Anderson was severely injured after two minutes and had served must've it was a nasty tackle my business Holly shortly afterwards Beckenbauer appeared to bring down lead striker Allan Clarke penalty claims were refused this is any of our experienced team the same it happened to us before if the referee doesn't reward is you just carry on playing and it's not a penalty the second half brought more controversy and more luck for the defending champions Peter Lorimer thought he had put the English side ahead new tonight at Leeds United scored a goal which the referee disallowed for offside upsides if I quarter behind it was ago it wasn't offside before but that often happens in trouble and I need to look you can't look back that comes on you can be angry about it.

You can be disappointed because I'm good but you can't let it affect you forever, I'll inland and Houghton addition if the referee says it's not a go it's an I can tell him it wasn't a goal and that's that just six minutes later lead a sense of injustice was further intensified he's mine Porter it was a really nice pass from Connie Torstensson be fighting the four and I ran onto edge love I must quicker than my marker who left his manlier from that beer always come he's doctor gets hung I thought now we have won if we were leading back in those days it was rare that we would give away that lead easily Decca give us a slice when we got the second goal for me I felt bound to have an illusion and I was expecting in Abbottabad GERD müller's goal made it to nil.
Bayern Munich retained their title of European champions opens two holes at home.
We were having trouble defeating an average Bundesliga team going up that extra gear we needed here but on the international stage against the lights of Leeds United we were a lot stronger I made that to win the European Cup two years in a row was a special achievement and so we were delighted ecstatic by 40 Mankin if you hang along you can't go out and party for a year and go around saying I'm now a two-time European champion or a shochet I'm a two-time Bundesliga winner digestion so there no you have to carry on ninth and I think that is why we were so successful during ham being are beyond their folk.
I ate a cup but the following season began poorly this six mil lead defeat away to Eintracht Frankfurt was the kind of form that put them in 10th position after 17 games a tough year there was a lot in the media and the press and it began to annoy us and get to us done because we ourselves didn't know why it was and everything was put into question his leaked on Dallas have they had too much excited are they not hungry enough for more that is money now hungry cook Harav O'Brien reached the final of the European Cup for the third consecutive season in Glasgow they faced Santa Tien of France who made eliminated at the semi-final stage to the previous year combine them actually the favourites.
Because in their league they were clear at the dice the shaft by whereas we were mid-table again me to faith by the anti - they haven't played so well in the Bundesliga our motivation to sky honey it was incredible because we knew that just like IAC's had done before it could also win the European Cup for the third time in succession team can get to keep the trophy apply to Biden we hadn't died ahead we had a bit of luck because yeah they hit the bar Lattin shoes the players told me coach don't worry if we get to the final we will win it it was unconfident team shift get revered mullah was fouled about 25 meters out and a free-kick was awarded I was responsible for taking free kicks and I didn't know it was a seat Fuhrman no Mac they set up a six-man wall.
I said to France there's only one option here naca tell you one or two meters to the side because they'll charge out of the wall and block it to meet anamorphic otherwise defenders will close us down right and then there with no way of getting the ball through the hiding of the tuna so he's laid it across to me and I banged it here a short movie he works it off Germans are no if we concentrated on practising free kicks yet and the goal we scored in the one nil victory was from a free-kick why not one of the ones we had worked on this Beckenbauer saw that the keeper was slightly out of a position of taught only he knows laid the ball off to wrote to both and said toward cadet well hole I wrote solitaire strike was enough Bayern had emulated IAC's by winning the European Cup in three successive seasons.
This that was the icing on the cake if you win the European Cup three times in a row you get to keep it that was the greatest thing for us the party was never had Atlantic via dying we were domestic champions three times in a row from 1972 one would stir and then we won the European Cup three times in a row in 1974 75 and 76 and the national team won the European Championships in 1972 in the World Cup in 1974 of six Bayern players I think it was the greatest time not just for the national team but also for Bayern Munich and seven months later Bayern were crowned champions of the world they defeated Brazil's Cruzeiro the champions of South America to nil on during the Intercontinental Cup fateful Kyle being crowned club champions of the world is like having another small crown put on top of your European Cup success.
But that's not the end of Bayern Munich's golden era as we went our separate ways France France went to New York good mullah was getting on a bit back then Mayans will win was unbroken Kapunda then all that change the team fell apart Abhi munch ft 90 MP said I was an under the golden era had to end but beyond doubt, greatness was achieved by Bayern Munich during those years eight domestic trophies three European Cup wins in succession and the world title a big entry in football history hostel marks it was only later that we realized what we'd accomplished but it simply wasn't an everyday achievement for a team to win the European Cup.
Three times in a row net in our Oh purple Kyle the Ivanka we weren't friends we really weren't well maybe one or two of our world as all but when we were together on the pitch touch done we knew exactly what we wanted you can all of us be avoiding we had a good mix of older more experienced players and younger players but they all shared the same will to win every single one of them sweating blood for the course cause a sufferer Beckenbauer mullah Ernest and Meyer great name synonymous with Bayern Munich even today both club and country will be forever in debt to them you...
