“The world of FC Bayern is no longer what it once was: suddenly darker, quieter, poorer. The German record champions mourn Franz Beckenbauer, the only ‘Kaiser’, without whom FC Bayern would not be never became the club it is today.” This is the memory of Bayern Munich, spread via social media, after the passing of Franz Beckenbauer, legend and eternal symbol of the club and German football.
Herbert Hainer, president of Bayern, says that “there are no words to express how great our sadness is and what a void Franz Beckenbauer leaves. As a player he brought lightness, elegance and magic to the pitch: Franz Beckenbauer brought splendor. Even after his playing career, he left an immense mark on Bayern and football, and his legacy cannot be measured in titles. The Bayern family will be eternally grateful to him, and I personally mourn the loss of a friend.”
