“That was a gala game for us,” said VfL captain Anthony Losilla later.

But the clear Munich bankruptcy remained.
“That was our worst performance of the season throughout the game,” Joshua Kimmich scolded on Sky: “We missed all the virtues.
It's not the first time this has happened to us this season," said the international, referring to the 5-0 defeat in Mönchengladbach in the DFB Cup.
Everyone has to ask themselves "whether that's the mentality that FC Bayern wants to embody."
