Entering the game in the 80th minute of the Bayern Munich-Union Berlin match (3-0), replacing the Canadian Alphonso Davies, left back Adam Aznou made his Bundesliga debut in Bavarian colors. The Team took advantage of this opportunity to paint a portrait of the Moroccan nugget.

“What if Bayern had already found Alphonso Davies’ successor? Released in the 80th minute against Union Berlin on Saturday, the Canadian international (56 caps, 15 goals) was replaced position for position by the Moroccan Adam Aznou,” writes the French media.

“When he was at Barça, young Aznou played alongside talents like Lamine Yamal, Hector Fort and Marc Guiu. Released by the Blaugranas, he joined Germany, where he climbed the ranks at impressive speed with the Munich club. The Team.

The Team also looks back on Aznou’s meteoric progress at Bayern: “Everything happened very quickly after that. In January 2024, at the age of 17, he made his first appearance with the professional team in a friendly match against FC Basel (1-1). A few days later, he appeared for the first time in Thomas Tuchel’s group during the 19th day of the Bundesliga against Augsburg (2-3 defeat). Aznou then played his first match with the Bayern Munich reserve team against that of Greuther Fürth (0-1 defeat), before signing, on May 15, his first professional contract until 2027.

An indisputable holder with the U19s, the French media recalls his performances in the lower categories: “After a season with the under-17s, his good performances earned him promotion to the under-19s the following year. In this category, he scored three goals and provided four assists in 19 matches, and he is part of the standard team of the last edition of the Youth League.

For his first call-up with the Atlas Lions last September, Aznou had his first start under the orders of national coach Walid Regragui during the match against Lesotho (1-0), as part of the 2nd day of the qualifiers of CAN Morocco 2025.

“On September 9, Aznou made his debut with the Atlas Lions in the victory against Lesotho (1-0), becoming at 18 years and 99 days the youngest player to start in an official match with the Morocco’s first team, overtaking Jaouad Zaïri. Capable of playing as a full-back as well as a defensive midfielder or left winger, Adam Aznou still has a way to go, but he could provide several options to Vincent Kompany and Walid Regragui for the rest of the season,” concluded the Team.
