Johannes Hofmann Dortmund



Johannes Hofmann has extended his contract with Borusia Dortmund until 2018.

The 21-year-old, who has been with the Bundesliga giants since joining from Hoffenheim in 2011, has broken into the first-team set-up this season and was rewarded on Friday with an extension to his deal at Signal Iduna Park.

"I've always been helped continuously at BVB," Hofmann told the German club's official website. "I have made the jump from the junior to the professional team and I know that I have the confidence, support and calmness here to keep improving.

"The overall package Borussia Dortmund can offer both on and off the pitch is almost unbeatable for a young player like me, I'm totally happy to be able to spend more years as part of the great BVB family."

BVB sporting director Michael Zorc believes that Hofmann's rapid progress will not slow down and expressed his delight at securing the Germany Under-21 star on a long-term deal.

"Jonas has made huge steps forward in recent months, but he's nowhere near the end of his development," Zorc said.

"We are delighted to work long-term with him and he will hopefully spend the best part of his career with us."

Hofmann will be hoping to be involved once again this weekend when Dortmund host Hamburg at 18:30CET on Saturday.

Bayern President Uli Hoeneß



The Bayern president believes their Bundesliga rivals will smilingly look at the situation at the Allianz Arena following the recent public criticism

Bayern Munick president Uli Hoeness believes sporting director Matthias Sammer's recent criticism of the team can only serve to harm them.

The Germany legend voiced his dissatisfaction with his side's performance in the 2-0 win over Hannover at the weekend, but Hoeness believes any unrest within the club will leave their rivals laughing.

"If you criticise the team too often, it becomes less effective. I'm in favour of occasionally criticising things to make sure nobody is getting carried away, but the situation at Bayern doesn't merit any criticism at the moment," Hoeness told Bild.

"The people at Dortmund are laughing their arse off. You almost get the impression that we have to apologise for a sovereign 2-0 win.

"I will definitely discuss this with Sammer, because people get the wrong impression, which is a bad thing. It's almost as if we have lost three games and drew the other two."

Bayern currently sit second in the Bundesliga table with 13 points from five games, trailing leaders.

German Bundesliga News of the day:



Dortmund:






Gonzalo Higuain feels Wednesday's Champions League match at home against Borussia Dortmund will give Napoli a good idea of where they stand in Europe.

The Serie A side last featured in the Champions League in 2011-12 when they made it to the round of 16, only to lose to Chelsea, and the Argentine is hopeful they can make an impact again this term.

"Wednesday's match is very important for Napoli. We want to start this Champions League campaign on a high," the 25-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Borussia Dortmund have achieved some great things and reached the final of the competition last year. It will be a great test for us.

"If we get off to a winning start, we could go far in the Champions League. We all realise that it will not be easy, though."

The game at the Stadio San Paolo kicks off at 20:45CET.

Bayern Munich versus CSKA Moskow 3:0





Bayern Munich began the defence of their Champions League crown with a comfortable 3-0 win at home to CSKA Moskow on Tuesday. A victory for the hosts never looked in doubt and they found themselves ahead within the opening five minutes as the talented David Alaba fired a free kick in from a central position, while Mario Mandzukic added a second with a header just before half-time.
Arjen Robben wrapped up the three points 22 minutes from time after a lovely assist by Alaba, thus securing a win in Pep Guardiola's first Champions League outing in charge of the German club.
Guardiola's men strolled to a similarly comfortable 2-0 win over Hannover at the weekend and the coach made only one change to that team as Dante replaced Daniel Van Buyten at centre-back.
The Russians also came into the game fresh from a domestic victory over Rostov, but the win came at a cost as Alan Dzagoev and Zoran Tosic both picked up injuries, meaning Aleksandrs Cauna and Steven Zuber took their respective places.
Bayern were in control from the start and they took the lead just four minutes in when Austrian Alaba steered a free kick past Igor Akinfeev from the edge of the box.
The hosts' dominance was obvious as they monopolised possession, but they struggled to break down CSKA's resolute defence.
When they did, 10 minutes from half-time, Mandzukic spurned a magnificent chance to double their lead. Rafinha crossed from the right and the forward headed the ball onto the far post before it rolled into the arms of Akinfeev.
But Mandzukic made amends three minutes before the break when Robben whipped in a fearsome free kick from the right and the Croatian forward diverted it past the helpless Akinfeev.
The visitors continued to struggle after the break and Robben could have scored a third, but his volley from inside the area was well saved.
Leonid Slutsky's men enjoyed a rare spell of possession in the hosts' half around the hour mark but they were almost punished soon after.
Mandzukic arrived in the box to meet Alaba's left-wing cross but again found Akinfeev in excellent form.
The Russian goalkeeper could do nothing to deny Bayern their third goal in the 68th minute, however.
Alaba produced a marvellous scooped pass over the CSKA defence and Robben smashed a low shot into the net.
Bayern continued to press for more in the dying stages as Robben's replacement Xherdan Shaqiri created danger on the right flank, but three goals were enough for Bayern who get their Group D campaign off to the perfect start.
