"Perhaps we're a bit better prepared for our opponents this time around. We were very dominant in the first half and saw what we were capable of. In the second half, Bayern's quality became evident. The lesson is that when we create chances as well as we did in the first half, we need to be more clinical in front of goal."
"You simply know what kind of quality you're up against. Especially in games like these, it's extremely important that we stick together as a team, support each other, and avoid 1v1 situations as much as possible. Everyone has to contribute defensively to give the opposing players as little freedom as they can. As a team, you simply have to be well-prepared and try to solve it together,"
RB Leipzig has suffered 6-0 and 5-1 losses to Bayern Munich earlier this season. In the most recent meeting Leipzig dominated the first half but conceded to Bayern’s superior quality in the second half. When Leipzig creates chances as it did early on, the team must be more clinical in front of goal. Bayern’s attack carries abundant individual quality and the capacity to introduce fresh, dangerous substitutes, requiring constant vigilance. Leipzig defenders emphasize collective defending, avoiding isolated 1v1s, supporting each other, and limiting opponent freedom through preparation and team organization. The club seeks to improve on prior heavy defeats and hopes to deliver a better result in the upcoming match.
