Gladbach's Jens Castrop apologetic for red card in loss to Bayern Munich
""The red card was correct. When you look at the images, the scene looks really stupid. Luckily, I didn't hit him that hard. I'm sorry. Our plan was to not hold back in 1v1 duels, but that was unfortunate, of course,""
"It was a tough situation for Castrop. He was trying to be physical and aggressive, but also was not trying to injure Díaz. All in all, it was just a bad decision and nothing malicious. Still, that play did help pave the way for Bayern Munich to keep Gladbach on its heels for the rest of the match."
"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."
Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0 after Gladbach went down to ten men early when Jens Castrop received a red card for a reckless challenge on Luis Díaz. Castrop acknowledged the decision was correct, apologized, and said he did not intend to injure Díaz. The numerical advantage allowed Bayern to seize control, dictate tempo, and force Gladbach into heavy defensive duties for over 70 minutes until they broke down. The match included evaluation of Bayern's starting XI, key performers, scoring sequence, substitutions, and final takeaways, with postgame coverage promoted by Bavarian Podcast Works.
