"When our energy level and focus are high, we can go into every match with the feeling that we can win it. That's what we have to show now. The captain's armband was a great honour for me. When I then ran across the pitch, it certainly felt a bit heavy. I actually thought Leon [Goretzka] would get it because he's been here longer."
"The foot's a bit tired, but it feels good. It was my third start now and the first 90 minutes after the injury - that does me good. These games will get me back into the rhythm, so I'm very happy."
"I'm very pleased, regardless of the goal at the end. There were a lot of young players on the pitch then, and it can happen that you briefly lose a bit of organisation in that period. But overall, it was a very good performance. The intensity was right."
Bayern Munich secured a commanding 4-1 victory over 10-man Borussia Monchengladbach, with goals from Luis Diaz, Konrad Laimer, Jamal Musiala, and Nicolas Jackson. Musiala scored from the penalty spot after Rocco Reitz fouled Jackson, earning Gladbach captain a red card. Playing without top-scorer Harry Kane, Bayern demonstrated their attacking prowess with 18 shots and 3.1 expected goals. Musiala, captaining the team for the first time, completed his first full 90 minutes since returning from injury. The victory extended Bayern's lead over second-place Borussia Dortmund to 14 points with nine Bundesliga matches remaining.
