Bayern Munich 1999-01 Home Shirt Matthaus #10
Size: Medium
Conditions: Excellent (9/10)
Defects: none
Notes: Home shirt as worn during an imperious period where the side won back-to-back Bundesliga titles as well as the 2000-01 UEFA Champions League under boss Ottmar Hitzfeld. FC Hollywood also picked up the 2000 DFB Pokal trophy as well as winning the now defunct DFB Ligapokal twice, in what would be considered a period of immense success. Giovane Élber was in great form for Bayern, scoring 40 goals in all competitions over two seasons. After a dramatic loss to Manchester United in the 1999 Champions League final, Die Roten would come back stronger to reclaim the trophy in 2001 with a penalty shootout win over an impressive Valencia side. The game would eventually be known for the goalkeeping heroics of Oliver Kahn, with the German international saving three penalties in the shootout ensuring the trophy would finally return to Bavaria after a 25 year absence which included three final defeats
