"My body needed a game like this"- Bayern Munich's Joao Palhinha reacts with joy at start and win against VfB Stuttgart
Briefly

João Palhinha made a significant return to Bayern Munich, starting his first match in nearly four months against VfB Stuttgart, contributing to a 3-1 victory. He reflected on his struggle with an injury that kept him sidelined for two months, expressing happiness over the team's performance and their progress towards the league title. Palhinha emphasized the challenges ahead, particularly with an upcoming match against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. His excitement for playing again was clear, indicating a readiness to embrace his role on the team.
In the dressing room, everyone was happy with the result because we all know we took a big step [towards the league title]. In my opinion, it was one of the hardest games that we will face until the end of the season.
I just had to focus on my work. Unfortunately, I had my injury. I have not had many injuries in my career, so the recovery was not easy for me.
It's a top match. The two matches, like this match, are going to be a good challenge for us. I think we are ready and we will give everything as always.
