  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Urbig made his fifth Bundesliga appearance for Bayern in the 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday evening. Across these games the 21-year-old did not manage to keep a clean sheet. It means Urbig becomes the first Bayern goalkeeper in history not to keep a clean sheet in any of his first five Bundesliga appearances for the German giants.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Bayern brought Urbig to Munich from 1. FC Koln in January for €7million (£6.1m/$7.9m). The plan was for the German Under-21 keeper to initially learn from Manuel Neuer and act as number two.

    However, after Neuer was injured in the Champions League last-16 first leg against Bayer Leverkusen, Urbig made his debut for Bayern at the start of March and has been in goal for manager Vincent Kompany's team ever since.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    In Urbig's first Bundesliga appearance, Bayern suffered a surprise 3-2 home defeat to VfL Bochum, and after that, the young goalkeeper never went a game in the Bundesliga without conceding a goal – a 1-1 draw at Union Berlin and a 3-2 win over St. Pauli were followed by a 3-1 win in Augsburg and the 2-2 draw against BVB.

    In the Champions League, Urbig has kept two clean sheets – he came on for the injured Neuer just before the hour mark in the 3-0 win against Leverkusen and kept a second clean sheet in the 2-0 second-leg win at Bayer.

  • WHAT'S NEXT?

    Since Neuer is not yet ready to make his comeback in the quarter-final second leg at Inter, Urbig will continue his run in Milan on Wednesday. Bayern have to make up a 2-1 deficit from the first leg if they are to book their spot in the Champions League semi-finals.

    When exactly Neuer will be fit to play again was left open to discussion by Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl after the draw against Dortmund.
