"From the first minute on, you could see what we wanted to do, the idea, the plan, the willingness. We just crushed them, and then we were also very efficient in scoring goals. It was an impressive performance by the team. We saw how Atalanta played against Dortmund, but we didn't give them any space to breathe. We combined, also forced the second ball at the right moments, went long, pushed up, won the ball, played deep and utilised the spaces that appeared."
"That was the performance we hoped for. I'd even say we could've scored another goal or two. I think we were very dangerous in attack all game. It was a good mixture: playing the ball simply into feet at times, but also running in behind at times. That hurt them today. We have talent and quality in the team. Fronting up one-v-one isn't a problem for them. We also play with very high intensity in training, so it's not a surprise when we're able to find solutions."
Bayern Munich delivered an exceptional performance against Atalanta, winning 6-1 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

The dominant victory puts Bayern in an excellent position ahead of the second leg in eight days, with one foot already in the quarterfinals.
