Bayern Munich seemed on course for a comfortable victory against VfL Bochum, leading by two goals until a red card for João Palhinha drastically changed the game. Their control slipped away, leading to a surprising 3-2 loss at home, with Leon Goretzka acknowledging that the team could have better managed the situation. The loss was particularly disheartening as it marred their 125th anniversary celebrations. Goretzka mentioned the need for the team to channel their anger positively, especially before their upcoming match against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
"We started very well, had everything under control and took the lead. With the red card we opened the door for the opponent. As a team we didn't manage to correct the mistake today, the former Bochum player said."
"Some of us are a bit angry and that usually never does us any harm. It really is all about channeling that anger correctly."
