Bayern Munich faced Borussia Mönchengladbach away at Borussia-Park. Gladbach have historically been Bayern’s most difficult German opponent. Despite the club’s recent performances and position on the table,
it was still anticipated to be a difficult fixture for Bayern. The Rekordmeister went in with a rotated squad and struggled in the first half due to the low-block but managed to turn the game around in the second half and go on top with a 3-0 win.
Jonas Urbig had his first Bundesliga start of this season. He is undoubtedly one of the best young keepers Bayern has invested in and has proven himself on several occasions. Speaking on the game, he delivered credit where it was due.
“I thought we defended well except for 1-2 situations. The team made it easy for me,” Urbig said (via @iMiaSanMia). “We had chances to score in the first half, but we had to be patient. We rewarded ourselves in the second half.”
Additionally, he was asked about the midweek DFB Pokal fixture against FC Köln. This game would be Urbig’s homecoming, and he expressed his enthusiasm for the same. “I’m going there with a good feeling. Today was a small derby win for me since I’m from Köln. I’m looking forward to Wednesday,” he declared.
Bayern Munich traveled to Borussia Mönchengladbach for a Bundesliga tilt featuring the league first-place and last-place teams.
The game went as expected — especially after Gladbach picked up an early red card, which completely shifted the momentum into Bayern Munich’s favor.
It was a daunting task to ask Gladbach to hold strong for over 70 minutes and eventually Die Fohlen just broke down. Ultimately, Bayern Munich walked away with a 3-0 victory over Gladbach.
