"They're lacking that final push. Maybe they're too confident in the Bundesliga. On Wednesday in the Champions League, they also needed time to get going. They're lacking that ease, and they need to get it back. They can do it, they know that. The difficult games are coming. But of course, you can see a bit of complacency," Matthäus said."
"Leipzig had 17 shots on goal last Saturday, this time 16. That hasn't happened before on this scale for the opposition. From this point of view, they need to concentrate more on their game again and, above all, try to work against the ball so that the opposition doesn't get these shots on goal like Augsburg or Leipzig last week."
Bayern Munich has been dominant for the majority of the season but recent matches show signs of complacency and a loss of urgency. A subpar first half in a 5-1 win over RB Leipzig on January 17, a lackluster 2-0 win versus Union Saint-Gilloise, and a 2-1 loss to FC Augsburg point to inconsistent intensity. Opponents produced unusually high shot totals — 16–17 shots on goal — exposing defensive lapses and insufficient pressure when out of possession. The team needs to regain ease, concentration, and defensive work against the ball before the difficult fixtures ahead. Vincent Kompany's leadership could prevent a prolonged slump.
