"Primin Schwegler, the sporting director of Wolfsburg did not hold back in acknowledging the collapse in Munich ( FC Bayern). "The first half was okay. We can build on that. But not what we showed in the second half. If you come away having lost it 6-0, then there wasn't much that was good. And that was the case here. There were too many simple goals. A complete collapse. We made far too many mistakes," opined Schwegler."
"The Wolves had a fairly decent defensive base who worked relentlessly to hold off the Bayern forwards. However, the midfield and attack could not stitch together meaningful stretches of play to put Bayern on the backfoot. Attack was the best form of defense against a roaring Bayern. However, the visitors could not play fast enough to keep up with the homeside and ended up giving away possession."
Bayern Munich delivered an 8-1 win over VfL Wolfsburg after a balanced first half and a decisive second-half surge. Wolfsburg's defense initially worked hard to repel Bayern, but the midfield and attack failed to sustain pressure or retain possession. The visitors conceded two own goals within a 3.30 xG and allowed Bayern to control large swathes of the game, completing 383 passes in Wolfsburg's half. Tactical lethargy and delayed substitutions prevented effective adaptation to Bayern's higher intensity. Simple mistakes and relentless Bavarian pressure produced a comprehensive collapse for Wolfsburg.
