Jonas Urbig Hails Bayern Munich’s Mentality After Dominant Win Over FC Köln

Young goalkeeper Jonas Urbig praised Bayern Munich’s resilience and unity following their commanding 4-1 victory over FC Köln in the DFB-Pokal Second Round.

Bayern Munich advanced comfortably in the DFB-Pokal after producing a powerful all-round display away to FC Köln, securing a 4-1 win on Wednesday evening. Among the standout performers was 20-year-old goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, who delivered a superb performance between the posts.

Urbig made six crucial saves — including one remarkable stop in the first half — to keep Bayern in control and demonstrate his growing confidence as part of the senior setup.

“A Team Performance” – Urbig

Speaking to Sky Germany’s Kerry Hau after the match, Urbig reflected on his performance and the team’s collective effort.

“Manu and the goalkeeping team wished me lots of success. It was great to play and win two games in a row now. Ultimately, it’s my job to keep out the balls. I see it as a team performance, and we did it well as a team again today. To come back from a deficit like that simply proves the mentality that’s in this squad. A well-deserved win,” Urbig said.

The young shot-stopper expressed pride in the team’s ability to respond after conceding early and highlighted the strong mentality that continues to define Bayern Munich under pressure.

Bright Future Ahead

Urbig’s recent performances have given Bayern’s coaching staff plenty of confidence in his abilities. However, opportunities for regular first-team action may remain limited for the remainder of the season, with Manuel Neuer still the club’s established No. 1.

Even so, Urbig’s composure and consistency suggest a bright future, as he continues to develop within one of Europe’s most competitive goalkeeping environments.

Bayern’s Professional Display

Bayern travelled to Cologne for the midweek clash fully aware that FC Köln, backed by their home crowd, would pose a challenge. The Bavarians, however, maintained their composure and once again demonstrated their trademark dominance — wearing down their opponents before striking decisively.

The result continues Bayern’s strong run of form in all competitions, with the squad displaying both tactical discipline and attacking sharpness.
