Despite the final scoreline of 2-1 in Bayern's favor, the FC guys discuss whether the second half displayed underlying flaws for Munich. Bayern Munich maintained their recent dominance over Borussia Dortmund hanging on for a 2-1 win in the German Cup.
MUNICH -- Germany international striker Sandro Wagner has sealed a deal to return to his boyhood club Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga leaders have confirmed.
The German champions had been in talks with Hoffenheim about signing their former youth-team product for a number of weeks, with Hoffenheim manager Julian Nagelsmann recently saying he expected a deal to be done "in the next two weeks."
Wagner has signed a deal until 2020.
Wagner joined Bayern at the age of nine, making his Bundesliga debut in 2007. However, the Munich-born striker failed to make the breakthrough, spending spells at Duisburg, Bremen, Kaiserslautern and Hertha Berlin before rediscovering his best form at Darmstadt in 2015.

After joining forces with Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim in 2016, Wagner won his first cap for Germany earlier this year and has scored five goals in seven appearances.
Wagner, 30, will act as backup for top striker Robert Lewandowski.
