While it is a rare thing for these examples in the last decade or so, the academy is trending in the right direction. When these players to break through to the senior team, it really is something special and Pavlovi himself recently spoke upon his experience.I already had the club in my heart when I joined FC Bayern at the age of seven. Growing up in Munich, I was always a Bayern fan, and I went through every youth team at the club. It wasnt until the U-19s that I first realized I had a real chance of making it as a professional player for my favourite club. Today, its truly special for me, a dream come true, to play for my home club, stated Pavlovi, as captured by @iMiaSanMia.It is truly unbelievable to imagine such a dream coming true, but it hasnt always been sunshine and rainbows for the German midfielder. Pavlovi missed out on the home tournament of Euro 2024 and several other big opportunities over his young career due to odd injuries and illnesses.Luckily, it seems like that luck is behind him and while he didnt exactly shine bright at the World Cup over the summer, the future of the Bayern Munich midfield is in strong hands with himself and Tom Bischof poised to lead the midfield over the next decade. Heres hoping for Pavlovi to have a long and successful career in his familiar home in Munich.Join the conversation!Sign up for a user accountand get:New, improved notifications system!Fewer adsCreatecommunity postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community posts
