"We turned in a great team display. It was a tough match for 60 minutes. Then we made some changes, we introduced a few fresh players, which was crucial. We finished it very well. I found out at 11 this morning that I'd play. Of course I'm glad when I get to play. I'm always ready, we always prepare together as the goalkeeping team."
"It's always nice to score, especially if it's such a nice goal. It was another very good display. The way we played, with this intensity and energy, was fun. We're very hungry and always keep going. We want to recover quickly and approach the match against Sporting with the same mindset."
"We didn't get off to the start we wanted, with the first chance and the first goal. We can defend better than that. We then fought our way into the game. We were in it and it was at least balanced after 20 minutes. We had one goal ruled out for offside and had two very big chances. We didn't exploit them, which would have been crucial for our momentum and the break. The game remained open. Bayern had more control than in the first half - and then the second goal was the decisive moment. We let the game slip away, which was unnecessary. We didn't defend against Kane the way you have to. He's incredibly precise, even from long range. And then the game took its course, as can happen against Bayern."
"We turned in a good first-half display, we needed 20 minutes but played well then. We had ambitious plans at half-time, we had a good feeling. To play such a terrible second half - we definitely have to work on that. We weren't there, we were always a step too late, and if so, Bayern are just too good."
Bayern delivered a cohesive, energetic team performance and closed out the match after tactical changes and the introduction of fresh players. The goalkeeper learned of his start that morning and emphasized readiness and joint preparation within the goalkeeping group. A Bayern midfielder celebrated a well-taken goal and praised the team's intensity, hunger, and focus ahead of the next match. VfB Stuttgart conceded early, had a goal disallowed and missed clear chances, and lost momentum after the decisive second goal. Stuttgart players acknowledged a poor second half, defensive lapses and difficulty containing Harry Kane, including his long-range precision.
