One Bayern Munich legend was almost without a ticket for tonight's Champions League second leg tie against Real Madrid - until the hosts stepped in.
After drawing 2-2 in Germany last week it's all to play for between Madrid and Bayern, where the winner at the Santiago Bernabeu will face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium on June 1.
Ahead of the crunch game in the Spanish capital, Los Blancos have chosen to invite ex-Bayern goalkeeper Oliver Khan to the game.
This comes after BILD claimed that the Bundesliga giants had forgotten to invite Khan themselves.
Khan is a legend at the Allianz Arena, winning eight Bundesliga's and Champions League title in a 14-year spell that saw him make over 600 appearances.
He had previously been a club CEO until he was relieved of his duties at the end of last season.
The last few weeks have seen under-fire Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag linked with the soon-to-be vacant role at Bayern this summer.
Ten Hag was the coach of the Bayern second time once upon a time and has been linked with replacing Thomas Tuchel.
But BILD have said that the German club have removed him from their shortlist and Hansi Flick, who has been a manager of Bayern before, is being linked with a return.
