Quiz question: the last Bayern Munich youth-academy player to establish himself in the first team? David Alaba, debut February 2010. And Austria Vienna may dispute his status as a Bayern academy graduate given he was with them until he was 16.
Gianluca Gaudino, if his loan spell at Swiss side St. Gallen bears fruit, might succeed the versatile Austrian, as might Julian Green, who arrived from the USA aged two and joined Bayern in 2009. But even if they do, it will be more than seven years since a player from Bayern's youth academy made it with the big boys.
