FC Bayern Forum

On 26th and 27th July 2011, there will be an Audi Cup 2011 hosted once again at the Allianz Arena.

The teams invited are Barcelona, AC Milan and Internacional.

The last Audi Cup was held in 2009 where Bayern won 4-1 against AC Milan (with 2 goals from a previously-unknown Thomas Mueller) and then beat Manchester United on penalties. Boca Juniors won 3rd place after beating AC Milan on penalties.

Nothing much really. The Opel Master Cup used to exist while Bayern were sponsored by Opel. FC Bayern won the Opel Master Cup twice, in 1996 and 2000. Nowadays, the sponsor is Audi, incidentally another car manufacturer.

Here's some info on the old Opel Master Cup:
