Bayern Munich has discovered a new goalkeeper talent: 19-year-old Jannis Bärtl trains with Manuel Neuer and Jonas Urbig.

Who is Jannis Bärtl?

Jannis Bärtl is a young goalkeeper who was trained in the FC Bayern youth academy. He has been officially part of the Bayern amateur team since July.

What connects Bärtl to Oliver Kahn?

Bärtl has a connection to Oliver Kahn, the former goalkeeper and CEO of FC Bayern. Both played in the U19 of Karlsruher SC.

How far is Bärtl from the first team?

Bärtl still has a long way to go to become the Bayern goalkeeper. However, training with Neuer, Urbig, and Klanac already gives the youngster a good taste of what to expect at the top level.
