Newcastle United vs Bayern Munich Tickets

Newcastle United and Bayern Munich are two massive football clubs that have taken very different paths on the European stage.

Newcastle United cannot compete with Bayern Munich for trophies won, but their Geordie fan base remains one of the most passionate and loyal in the footballing world. They’ve never won a major European trophy, although did achieve glory in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969 and the Intertoto Cup in 2006. Newcastle last won a major trophy on the domestic front in 1955, when they overcame Manchester City to win the FA Cup.

The club, based in the north-east of England, is undergoing a transformation since 2021’s Saudi-led takeover. Suddenly, Newcastle could compete with the top clubs in the world in the transfer market. Their fortunes quickly improved and Eddie Howe led Newcastle to a fourth placed Premier League finish in the 2022/23 season. This secured their participation in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League, putting an end to a 21-year hiatus from Europe's most prestigious club competition.

Bayern Munich, as six times UEFA Champions League winners, always must deal with high expectations. In European football, they’re one of the most decorated teams and are usually among the favourites.

The Bavarian club’s achievements are neatly divided between two eras. In the days of Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Muller, Bayern Munich dominated the European Cup and triumphed in three consecutive seasons; 1974, 1975, and 1976.

Their UEFA Champions League successes occurred in 2001 when they triumphed over Valencia, in 2013 against Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund, and in 2020 against big-spending Paris Saint-Germain.

Bayern Munich have suffered plenty of heartbreak in the competition too. They’ve lost five Champions League finals, most famously against Manchester United in the 1998/99 season. They outplayed Sir Alex Ferguson’s side at the Nou Camp for 90 minutes, before conceding two dramatic stoppage time goals to lose 2-1.

The only notable player who graced both Newcastle United and Bayern Munich was midfielder Dietmar Hamman. The German international enjoyed a five-season spell in Munich from 1993 to 1998, amassing 143 appearances and clinching two Bundesliga titles, before embarking on a journey across the North Sea to join the Toon Army.

Hamman's tenure with Newcastle United was brief. He stayed at Newcastle for just one season, during which he made 31 appearances, before he signed for Liverpool FC in an £8m deal.
