PAVARD’S WORDS TO BAYERN FANS
Pavard called his years at Bayern Munich life-changing. He said, “FC Bayern made it possible for me to become the player I am today. This club was my home for many years. I’ll never forget what an honor it was to be the last player to wear the number 5 shirt and to carry on the legacy of a legend.” He explained his goal celebration in the Champions League quarter-final, saying, “My celebration was simply the joy of a child playing in the Champions League quarter-finals. It was never about disrespecting the FC Bayern fans. With love,” he ended his message.
WHY THIS MATTERS
