"“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.”"
