"The goal is always to win. Every Bundesliga game is complicated. Today, we didn't manage to bring our best to the pitch. Augsburg did. So they deserved to win, and we have to congratulate them. We have to push ourselves to the limit in every game, and we didn't do that today. We're obviously in an intense period, we have players unavailable, but we still fielded a good team."
"If RB Leipzig can close the game with a win over St. Pauli today, it can get within 12 points of Bayern Munich, but it is tough to think that kind of gap will be easy to make up for Die Roten Bullen. So...for now, it is a race, but it also one which Bayern Munich can close down pretty quickly if it can get healthy and back into form."
"After the results of the weekend, Bayern Munich's lead in the Bundesliga fell to eight points as Borussia Dortmund might have been given a glimmer of hope to make this a title race. For Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl, it will be up to the Bavarians to crush the dreams of the opposition. "If other teams start to get their hopes up again, then it's up to us to dash those hopes," Eberl told Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
Bayern Munich's lead in the Bundesliga fell to eight points, reducing the cushion over Borussia Dortmund and reviving hopes among challengers. Bayern failed to produce their best performance in a loss to FC Augsburg, with Augsburg deservedly securing victory. Bayern cited an intense period and several unavailable players but still fielded a strong lineup and acknowledged the need to push to the limit in each remaining fixture. RB Leipzig can reduce the gap to 12 points with a win over St. Pauli, though overcoming such a deficit would be difficult. The title race is live for now, but Bayern can rapidly close it down by regaining health and form.
