"Bayern Munich traveled to Borussia Mönchengladbach for a Bundesliga tilt featuring the league first-place and last-place teams. The game went as expected - especially after Gladbach picked up an early red card, which completely shifted the momentum into Bayern Munich's favor. It was a daunting task to ask Gladbach to hold strong for over 70 minutes and eventually Die Fohlen just broke down. Ultimately, Bayern Munich walked away with a 3-0 victory over Gladbach."
"We showed what we can do when we don't have the ball, in the first half in particular. We all know how hard it is against FC Bayern, even with 11 men. We were reduced to ten early on. We can really praise ourselves for the first half, but we perhaps lacked the energy in the second half. Bayern did a good job then, which makes it extremely bitter,"
"If you see a red card, it's much harder against a team that's incredibly strong anyway. I think we did a good job for a relatively long time. We can see our performance in perspective. We can certainly take a few positive things away. But at the end of the day, we failed to take points, and that's what counts,"
Borussia Mönchengladbach received an early red card that left the team down to ten players and shifted momentum decisively toward Bayern Munich. Bayern capitalized on the numerical advantage and secured a 3-0 victory while Gladbach's best chance—a penalty by Kevin Stöger—hit the post. Gladbach coach Eugen Polanski expressed pride in the team's effort despite the loss. Stöger highlighted a strong first-half defensive display but said energy waned in the second half, allowing Bayern to take control. Philipp Sander praised the squad's resilience but emphasized that failing to earn points remains the main issue.
