      Daniel “Ghost” Martins exposed flaws on the website of his beloved Bayern
      The information security expert was rewarded by Bayern for sending them a report detailing problems with their website
      The “ethical hacker” says the German giants didn’t reply to his concerns at first – but in the end were so grateful they gave him a top from their legendary Germany ace Muller.
      Martins, 24, an expert in information security, alerted Bayern when he spotted weaknesses in their official website portal.
      Personal data could have been exposed by the problem.
      Not only that, a configuration flaw in the website servers meant commercial and confidential information about the club could have been breached.

      Martins wrote to Bayern, explaining how vulnerable their website was.
      He said: “As soon as I found the fault, immediately, at dawn, I made a report and sent it to them. 

      “They took a while to fix and didn’t even respond to me at first. 
      “But a journalist from Globo (Daniel Mundim) saw this fact and helped me get in touch with them. Successfully.

      “They corrected it, and as a way of thanking me they sent me a shirt signed by the club’s biggest idol, Thomas Muller.”
      Bayern thanked Daniel for his “true” information and asked to send a gift.
      “Ghost” insisted he hacked their website purely to see if he could help them.
      He said: “Because it is a team that I admire a lot and because I do what I do, I decided to explore the site to somehow help the team. 
      “I explored, and found a vulnerability of the ‘information disclosure’ type, which roughly speaking is a kind of information leak due to bad configuration.
      “Basically it occurs when a site unintentionally reveals confidential information to its users. Depending on the context, sites can leak all kinds of information to a potential attacker.” More

      Following a poor start to the Premier League campaign, a Champions League defeat at Dinamo Zagreb a fortnight ago proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back.
      Graham Potter was quickly named as Tuchel’s replacement at Stamford Bridge but the latter is already being linked with a fast return to the dug-out with Bayern Munich.
      However, for the time being at least, the 49-year-old seems happy to remain living in the capital after a photo emerged of him posing with a supporter yesterday.
      An Instagram account named @KarimZahlann shared the photo, with several other Chelsea accounts claiming that the individual was a Blues fan and thanked him for his work at the club before asking for a snap.

      Speculation is mounting that former Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain boss Tuchel could be set to replace Bayern Munich’s Julien Nagelsmann.
      The German champions have suffered a bizarre run of form that sees them go into the international break fifth in the Bundesliga table, five points off the top.

      Their wobble descended into a major blip as they fell to a shock defeat at FC Augsburg over the weekend to extend their winless run in the top-flight to four matches.
      Tuchel has impressed across Europe since leaving Dortmund in 2017.

      Now he is on the lookout for another opportunity at the top level – which could add extra-pressure on the already struggling Nagelsmann. More

      This was despite interest from Man Utd, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and Juventus.
      Now though, he has been benched for the past two matches, with manager Julian Nagelsmann opting to play Noussair Mazraoui instead.
      And Pavard has reignited rumours of a departure from the club by refusing to rule out a transfer.
      Speaking to Telefoot, he said: “I questioned myself, I had calls from different clubs with my agent.

      “Afterwards, I had the Bayern coach with whom we spoke and with whom we have a good relationship.
      “He made me understand that I was in his plans, that I was important for the team.
      “Maybe one day I will go to one of these clubs, you never know what the future holds.
      “I’m still a year at Bayern Munich. Afterwards, we have time to project ourselves.”

      A wobble has descended into a major blip as they fell to a shock defeat at FC Augsburg over the weekend.
      It’s now three games without a win for Bayern who had slipped to consecutive draws before the loss.
      With few questioning the chances of them retaining their German crown before the season began, the run of results may have set alarm bells ringing in Munich.
      Foreign media report that the alarm is even more pressing due to Chelsea’s decision earlier this month to dismiss Thomas Tuchel.

      The German boss is a world class manager and has impressed across Europe since leaving Dortmund in 2017.
      The 49-year-old’s crowning achievement was undoubtedly taking over at the Blues and winning the Champions League within his first 6 months in the job.
      But results this season went south as the “devastated” German was booted out of Stamford Bridge.
      His presence on the sidelines could put even more pressure on Nagelsmann to find an instant remedy for results.

      Following the Augsburg loss, Bild said simply: “Nagelsmann now has a problem: Tuchel.”
      While Mundo Deportivo report that while Bayern’s remain supportive of Nagelsmann, they add that Tuchel waiting in the wings gives them an “easy” option if results don’t improve.
      Bayern are aiming to win their 11th consecutive Bundesliga title and started the season in red-hot form before their faltering form.
      On the opening weekend of the season they won 6-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt and two weeks later hit seven without reply at VfL Bochum 1848.
      On the brightside for Nagelsmann, Bayern have cleared difficult tests in the Champions League to put themselves in a strong position in the group stage.
      They comfortably beat Inter Milan and then Barcelona to leave themselves in a commanding position in Group C. More

      The German champions last failed to score in the league back in February 2020.
      And although this was their first defeat of the season they have now gone four Bundesliga games without victory.
      Pressure is mounting on £30million star summer recruit Mane amid claims he is “isolated” and struggling to adapt to a more central role.

      But he was taken off 12 minutes from time as Bayern chased the game at Augsburg.
      Mergim Berisha had given the mid-table hosts their first home triumph of the campaign just before the hour.
      Bayern them made three changes, including replacing Mane with Cameroon ace Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
      But the shake-up failed to prevent more disappointment for Julian Nagelsmann’s men.

      Former Liverpool and Bayern midfielder Dietmar Hamann fears Mane is just not suited to Nagelsmann’s tactics.
      He said earlier in the week: “He is not integrated.
      “I saw him at Liverpool, where he played through the middle. That is not his position. Now he’s taking that position at FC Bayern as well.
      “He is at his best when he comes from the outside. He doesn’t look happy to me.”
      Ex-Germany star Hamann added: “Other players like Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala or, in defence, Lucas Hernandez, who is injured at the moment, are putting in outstanding performances.
      “Nobody is talking about Mane at the moment. He seems isolated and hardly takes part in the game. FC Bayern has to get a grip on that.”
      Nagelsmann, though, insists Mane WILL adjust to Bayern’s system.
      He said: “He put in so much for Liverpool. He’s a new signing.

      The England international striker, 29, tried to force through a move to Manchester City just over a year ago but Spurs dug their heels in and kept their talisman.
      He was then linked with Bayern during the recent summer window, but once again Tottenham refused to do business and insisted that the star was going nowhere.
      However, speculation continues to rumble on over Kane’s future due to his contract ending in 2024.
      He would then be able to move abroad and leave for nothing, which could force Antonio Conte’s side to cash in at the end of this season rather than risk losing him on a free.

      Now a fresh report on Sky Sport Italia‘s special transfer edition has poured more fuel on the fire regarding a potential move to Bayern.
      Journalist Florian Plettenberg said: “I am convinced that Kane will be Bayern Munich’s real market target next summer.
      “It will depend on the player’s performance this season, but Bayern has the money. Coman, Mane and Gnabry are there, but a number nine is missing.”
      His colleague Marc Behrenbeck then added: “I am sure, Bayern Munich will bet strongly on Harry Kane. The discussion is already underway.

      Rummenigge, 66, spent ten years playing for Bayern before taking a management role in 1991.
      After being made CEO in 2002, he oversaw a golden period at the club which included 14 Bundesliga title wins and two Champions Leagues.
      Before passing his role to Oliver Kahn last year, Rummenigge also signed off on numerous top talents including Polish striker Lewandowski.
      The hitman, who joined Barcelona this summer, scored 344 goals in 375 games for Bayern after a move from Borussia Dortmund in 2014.

      He also won countless trophies, including the 2020 Treble.
      But despite Lewandowski being the second-top scorer in Bundesliga history, while also holding several records for goals, Rumminegge does NOT count him in Bayern’s top three signings.
      According to Sky, he believes “Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and Manuel Neuer” have all proven to be more important transfers than Lewandowski – and “in this order” too.
      Ribery spent 12 years at Bayern after joining from Marseille in 2007, scoring 124 goals in 425 games while winning nine titles and a Champions League.

      As for Robben, he netted 144 times in 309 matches during a ten-year stay, winning eight titles plus a Champions League.
      Finally, Neuer is in his 12th season at Bayern and still going strong.
      He’s played 481 times for the club and has won ten titles plus two Champions Leagues.
      But Lewandowski will get the chance to prove Rummenigge wrong when new side Barcelona face Bayern in the Champions League on Tuesday.
      He angered the Germans by forcing through a move to Spain over the summer in his bid to win a first Ballon d’Or title.
