Bayern Munich supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß has publicly criticized UEFA over the scheduling of an extended international break early in the season. Speaking to Bild following Bayern's 2-2 draw with FC Augsburg, Hoeneß called the schedule a disaster that disrupted the team's momentum shortly after the World Cup.
Hoeneß noted that 18 Bayern players were away during the break, which saw national teams feature in Nations League fixtures. He urged clubs to advocate for themselves given that they pay player salaries, as Bayern prepares for an upcoming Champions League match against Norwegian side Viking FK.
