Stand: 06.11.2024 2:17 p.m.

Jan-Niklas Best, the talented footballer, is fulfilled by the Champions League! In the summer, he switched from 1. FC Heidenheim to Benfica Lisbon for around eight million euros and is now facing an exciting challenge: a guest appearance at Bayern Munich. It remains to be seen whether he can build on old successes!

At his last meeting with Bayern, the best caused a sensation when he surprised with an impressive comeback of his old team. Despite a 2-0 deficit, the 1. FC Heidenheim equalized in just four minutes. The best was instructed by scoring a goal himself and preparing another. Even if Bayern finally won 4-2, the best left a lasting impression.

Humplpriger Start in Lissabon

However, his start at Benfica was bumpy. In the league, the best was only used in five out of ten games and also failed because of a muscle injury. Despite these setbacks, it remains optimistic. His first big highlight was a double strike in the trophy that had the fans cheered. The change of coaches at Benfica, including the discharge of Roger Schmidt, who had committed the best, put him under pressure.

Despite the challenges, the best has already played in the Champions League, if only as a substitute. He is ready to prove himself against Bayern. The team is a clear outsider against Munich, but the best has the unconditional will to change history. Finally he knows how to defeat Bayern - his Heidenheim team sensationally won 3: 2.

A dream becomes true

Although the best in the previous Champions League games has only been substituted three times, he dreams of great international duels against teams such as FC Barcelona and Juventus Turin. "This will be huge games, we are really looking forward to it," says the 25-year-old. His journey from the second division to one of the largest European clubs is remarkable - and the next challenge is just around the corner!
