Match of the month: Emphatic victory in derby under floodlights
20 years ago: 10 February 2001, 20.15 CET, a full house at the BayArena, tremendous atmosphere, floodlights and two teams ready for a derby.
Promoted FC Köln have had a good season to date and are eighth in the table, two points off the UEFA Cup positions. Our Werkself are looking to get into top spot. Bayern lead on 39 points ahead of Schalke 04 and Bayer 04 on 37 points. Everything is set up for a great night. Remember the special atmosphere around the millennium, watch the ‘elemental force’ Lucio and his first two goals for Bayer 04, the battler Ulf Kirsten, the technician Ze Roberto or the first minutes for Dimitar Berbatov in our team. Dip into the fantastic atmosphere on that Saturday night once again. And look forward to the time when we can all get right behind our team again.
The video shows three minutes of highlights of the 4-1 win for our Werkself.
