About Klaus Augenthaler

Augenthaler played for Bayern in 1982 European Cup final against Aston Villa and came close to scoring twice, but Bayern ultimately lost 1-0, becoming the first ever Bayern team to lose a final. Bayern won the league again in his first season as captain and Augenthaler, playing as a libero, was one of the league's best defensive players in a Bayern defence that conceded fewer than any other team.
