Steven Ribéry Makes Debut for Bayern Munich’s Reserve Team
Bayern Munich’s football legacy continues to shine as Franck Ribéry, a club icon since 2007, remains a vital figure for the Bavarian giants. However, his younger brother, Steven Ribéry, is gradually carving out his own path at the club.
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder made his much-anticipated debut for Bayern Munich’s fourth-division reserve team this Friday, joining the ranks of the club’s promising future stars. Steven’s appearance came shortly after the hour mark, where he partnered with Tobias Schweinsteiger, the elder sibling of German international Bastian Schweinsteiger, in a forward role.
The Ribéry family’s connection to Bayern Munich deepened last November when Steven signed a training contract with the club, officially linking him with Bayern’s U19 team. Since then, the young talent has shown considerable promise, scoring four goals in ten appearances for the youth team.
Steven’s debut is a noteworthy moment not only for the Ribéry family but also for Bayern Munich, as the club continues to nurture homegrown talents. Franck, who has been a stalwart in Bayern’s attack for over 15 years, remains a legendary figure at the club, with his contributions cementing his status as one of Bayern’s greatest-ever players. As Steven embarks on his own journey, he will undoubtedly look to follow in his brother’s footsteps and make a significant impact at the club.
