Bayern Munich followed their heartbreaking elimination from the Champions League with a hard-fought win against Wolfsburg who are fighting relegation. Christoph Freund, Bayern’s sporting director, knew that it won’t be smooth sailing after that UCL elimination and that he expected the team performing like it did today.
“We knew it wouldn’t be easy today,” Freund began (via Bayern’s official website). “Wednesday was a very bitter evening for us – and then we come here to find Wolfsburg fighting for survival.
In the end, we’re really proud to have won. Because it wasn’t an easy situation to start from. We kept a clean sheet and played a very good second half. So we’re very happy.
“We started well, then Wolfsburg did well, constantly switching quickly. We couldn’t find our rhythm, lacked dominance, and kept losing possession, including too many challenges. That was uncharacteristic for us, not a good first half. But Jonas Urbig and some defensive plays kept us in the game.”
Bayern has the final matchday of the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal final left before the season concludes.
