Information :
The 1997/98 season saw Markus Babbel cement his role as a key defensive pillar for Bayern Munich. Versatile and composed, he operated both as a right-back and central defender, combining tactical intelligence with physical strength. Babbel made over 40 appearances in all competitions, helping Bayern finish second in the Bundesliga and reach the UEFA Cup final, where they fell narrowly to Inter.
That season’s away match shirt remains a classic among collectors — produced by Adidas, it featured a bold navy base with red and white horizontal stripes, the embroidered Bayern crest, and the Opel sponsor printed cleanly across the chest. The shirt carried Adidas’s distinctive late-90s aesthetic, with a slightly oversized fit and textured fabric patterning.
A year defined by near glory for Bayern — and by Babbel’s consistency in one of Europe’s most disciplined backlines.
