""We've often been behind this season but have always come back, and we vowed to do that again today at half-time," said Neuer. "We certainly played better in the second half."
"5 - Bayern scored five goals after trailing at half-time - they had only managed this once before in a Bundesliga away game, in September 1976 when they won 6-5 in Bochum (even scoring six goals, having been 0-3 down at half-time). Spectacle. pic.twitter.com/t3npnX7cXI - OptaFranz (@OptaFranz) January 17, 2026"
""Leipzig have had a game less than us, and we ran six kilometres more in the second half, which says something about the desire and motivation that were there to turn the game around and then also score the third, fourth, fifth goal. It's unbelievable.""
Bayern trailed 1-0 at half-time to RB Leipzig after Romulo's opener but produced a five-goal second-half turnaround to win 5-1 at the Red Bull Arena. Michael Olise came on at 1-1, registered three assists and scored the final goal. Bayern generated 3.99 of their total 4.56 expected goals after the restart. The comeback was only the second time Bayern scored five goals after trailing at half-time, the other instance occurring in September 1976. The side covered six kilometres more in the second half, and Jamal Musiala returned from injury, assisting Olise 69 seconds after coming on.
