Unity is strength. Bayern Munich footballers once again forfeited part of their salary until the end of the season to help the club weather the coronavirus crisis, Bayern President Herbert Hainer said in the Bild daily .

"It is very satisfying to see that our team fully understands the situation, and once again gives up part of the salary until the end of the season," said Herbert Hainer, the successor to Uli Hoeness in the chair. Herbert Hainer, however, did not specify the percentage they gave up this time. He also did not specify precisely what he meant by "end of the season".

A disrupted calendar 

If everything works according to the plans of the German League, and no team is massively contaminated with coronavirus, the Bundesliga season will end on June 27. Bayern, qualified for the semi-finals of the German Cup, should however play a possible final on July 4.

In the Champions League, the Bavarians have yet to play the return match of the 8th final against Chelsea, after their 3-0 victory in England in the first leg. UEFA has not yet approved the calendar, but there are plans to resume and end the competition in August.
