Well, from the airport to the Hauptbahnhof central station I think that I can take the S1, blue line or S8 yellow line.
What I need to know is if by using both lines, both trains go straight to the Hauptbahnhof station or if I should get off and take another train to arrive at the station. I was looking at the map and I can't understand the purpose of
the pink line, S27 I don't know if it's between then ot not, I think it's a regional train.
Thank you.
First things first: The Germany expression for Central Station is Hauptbahnhof. It is situated in the very middle of the map and it's got a little train symbol in it.

Your route from the airport to the Olympic Statdium is pretty straightforward. You've basically got two options.

Option A:
Straight from the aiport to the stadium
If that's the case, take S1 from the airport to Moosach station, then change to Line U3 and get off at Olympiazentrum station. It'll be a ten minute walk from there and there are signs everywhere so you won't possibly miss the stadium.

Option B:
Airport to stadium via Central Station
In case you want to deposit some luggage in the lockers at the Central Station or bring stuff to your hotel, or check out the city center. Take S8 to Munic Central Station, then change to Line U2. Change again at Scheidplatz to Line U3. Get off at Olympiazentrum, 10 minute walk, signs everywhere.

Forget about S27 though, it is nowhere near the airport or the Olympic Stadium.

I hope I was able help you out. Feel free to ask again if you have any problems. We should do a meet up I think, but I'm sure there will be an extra topic for it.
