Herness said in an interview with the media today that the reporter misinterpreted his comments on Jackson. Bayern had only 45 games in the German Cup this season, and Jackson also had to participate in the African Cup, so it was impossible to achieve the buyout conditions for 40 starts.

But fans found a loophole in Heness's words. He said that even if Bayern enters the finals of the Champions League, there will be 13 more games.

Heres: "These reporters definitely didn't learn math well, because I'm talking about him not starting for 40 games, and we still have 32 Bundesliga games. If we can enter the Champions League final - which is exactly what we expected - then add 13 more games. A total of 45 games. The German Cup doesn't count, which means he must all start to meet the standards. He will participate in the African Cup in January, so it is impossible to start for 40 games, which is what I mean."

However, under the new European Cup system, if the team reaches the Champions League final, a total of 15 or 17 games from the start to the end (8 games in the league stage + 7 knockout matches = 15 games in total or 8 games in the league stage + 2 games in the playoffs + 7 games in the knockout matches = 17 games).
