"It's not normal and a given [to beat Wolfsburg 8-1]. The first half really wasn't easy. I said that Wolfsburg are good going forward and don't need many chances. We saw just that in the first half. I always felt we were close and that more chances would come when they got a bit tired. And that's exactly what happened in the second half. And we took them. It's those moments where we're 5-1, 6-1 or 7-1 up, but keep going, keep pressing and trying to score more goals. I really like that. And then there's the mix of the youngsters coming on and showing what they can do, but we don't lose that Bayern face."
"That felt really good. It's what we wanted on a cold January day to get us going. It came off and we're all very happy. Every player in our team is important, and you can see that. Everyone who comes on wants to be a spark, wants to give the team and the game something."
Bayern Munich defeated Wolfsburg 8-1 at the Allianz Arena to extend their Bundesliga lead to 11 points. The hosts took an early lead, were pegged back, then regained a 2-1 half-time advantage through Luis Diaz. Bayern scored twice early in the second half and added goals from Michael Olise (two), Raphael Guerreiro, Harry Kane and Leon Goretzka. Vincent Kompany praised the squad's professionalism, relentless pressing and determination to keep attacking even with a large lead. Manuel Neuer emphasized that every player wants to make an impact and that the team always plays to score.
