Reactions
Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann was very happy with his team’s performance. He said,
It feels very good. The first half of the season was very satisfying. Today we had to score the goals against compact opponents who kept their shape very well. After the goal, we were a bit lucky in two instances. But we always had very good control of the game. Especially in the second half, we pressed really well and didn’t let our opponents break out, that was impressive. In the end, we deserved to win and scored some nice goals along the way too.
On the other side, Wolfsburg manager Florian Kohfeldt was disappointed with his team’s performance. He said,
The defeat does hurt. Especially in the first half, we played well, we didn’t give much away and had two great chances. We have to score at least one of those. Then things happen that shouldn’t happen against Bayern. Of course, we deserved to lose in the end
