""Leipzig caused us many problems in the first half. They were clearly the better side. It felt like they were twice as good as we were," he said, via @iMiaSanMia. "We lost many duels, they won the ball in midfield, they did well over the wings," he further praised."
""But the second half - my God!""
""The boys delivered. We ran 6 kilometers more. It was old school mentality: winning duels, running, going forward.""
Bayern Munich overturned a 1-0 first-half deficit to defeat RB Leipzig 5-1 in the Rückrunde opener. Leipzig took the lead in the 20th minute through Raul Cardoso and dominated the early exchanges, winning many midfield duels and exploiting the wings. Bayern reversed the game after half-time with increased intensity, winning duels, running more, and pushing forward relentlessly to score four additional goals. Bayern covered roughly six more kilometers than Leipzig and adopted a direct, old-school mentality of physical duels and forward movement. Leipzig caused significant problems early but could not contain the second-half onslaught.
