""I feel like we came very good into the beginning of the game. We had a huge chance at 1'. We fought very well and were very well-structured in the first half, and also [scored] on the 1-0. Of course, possession-wise they dominated, but we fought a lot. In the second half, they were just better than us," said Lund, who has seven caps with the USMNT."
""When you're in it, you're not frustrated because you know that's how it's going to be when you play against Bayern," Lund went on. "You have to accept the terms of the game...of course, it's very impressive how they can keep going. At the end of the game [as Köln players were getting tired] you see the Bayern players: [Konrad] Laimer, keeps running, [Luis] Díaz, keeps attacking. That's what I feel like ended up giving them the win today.""
Bayern Munich mounted a comeback to defeat FC Köln after Köln took an early 1-0 lead and showed strong structure and defending in the first half. Köln created a huge chance in the opening minute but Bayern dominated possession and improved after halftime. Bayern's relentless running and attacking from players like Konrad Laimer and Luis Díaz wore Köln down late, and Köln players became tired. Kristoffer Lund said facing Bayern requires accepting their terms and that sustaining man-to-man marking for the full match is extremely difficult. Lund has seven caps with the USMNT.
