"The bottom line is it's a very, very disappointing and very, very painful defeat. We need to apologize to our fans for the second half, who made to much effort to come and support us in this weather. We had two different halves. I think in the first we showed what we intended to do. We showed a lot of how we want to play. We were brave and implemented our game plan almost 100 percent."
"The Bavarians were simply a class above. The speed of attack and transitions were too much to stop. Die Wölfe were matching the intensity of Bayern, even surpassing them in the first half during certain phases. But once up and running, Bayern were running at a different gear and the front three were unstoppable. 47 touches in the opposition box are just too many for any defense and goalkeeper to handle."
Bayern Munich thrashed VfL Wolfsburg 8-1 in the first game after the winter break. Wolfsburg manager Daniel Bauer apologized to fans for the second-half collapse and called the result very disappointing and painful. Bauer said the team showed bravery and implemented the game plan almost completely in the first half but failed to convert clear chances from the edge of the area. Bayern's speed of attack and rapid transitions overwhelmed Wolfsburg, with a front three that became unstoppable. Wolfsburg's defense produced 28 clearances and 26 tackles, yet Bayern still made decisive differences whenever they got even half a chance.
