It will be interesting to see what those involved have to say about this game.
In the run-up, a lot was already reported and speculated about the constitution of the Nerazzurri.
Hasan Salihamidzic, Oliver Kahn and Co. will certainly comment in detail before or after the match.
We summarize for you the voices of FC Bayern's game at Inter Milan on DAZN.
Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern coach) after the game over...
... the game:
"Overall, we had pretty good control.
In the second half in particular, we could have given our opponents the defeat earlier, then things wouldn't be as intense at the back.
Overall, we deserved to win.”
... the energy level of his troops:
"Everyone was willing.
The energy was good, I'm satisfied."
... Leroy Sané's 1-0:
"Now there are Smarties, yes.
It was a super chip from Josh, which Leroy is super accepting of.
It was difficult to control, it was super strong.”
... the upcoming opponent FC Barcelona:
"I'm looking forward to Robert.
It will be an exciting game, they started the league very well.
We don't need that much analysis against him, the guys know him."

Matthijs de Ligt (FC Bayern) after the game over...
… his satisfaction after the game:
"It's always good when you win in Milan.
The first game is always important.”
... the energy level of the team:
"We have a very good team.
Our strength is our intensity, if that drops a bit, we have a hard time.”
... Leroy Sané's performance:
"Today he was amazing, he had a lot of chances.
The goal was amazing, great first contact.
But the second goal was actually his goal, really great game.”
... the reason for the victory and the upcoming opponent:
"It was important for us today that we didn't let them get into the red zone.
Next week it's against Barca.
Games against them are always great, a dream for every player.”

Leroy Sané (Player of the Match, FC Bayern) on...
... his performance:
"I want to play a good game and leave the pitch with a good feeling."
... his goal to make it 1-0:
"I saw the room, went in there and made the run, then a super ball came and yes..."
Robin Gosens (Inter Milan) after the game over...
... the game:
"In the first half we scored a goal from a wide ball, which is annoying because that's exactly what we addressed.
After that we did it okay, but in the end the win is okay for Bayern.
But we weren't without a chance.
These are top-level games.
We conceded 1-0 and then shortly afterwards 2-0 instead of making it 1-1.
That’s how games like this are decided.”
… his first start and the fast move to Leverkusen:
“The first 90 minutes were good, I can feel the club trusting me because I had a crappy season.
I don't want to say much about the transfer issue, it was exaggerated in the media."
… the chances in the group:
“We just have to bang the thing against Barcelona because we don’t get many chances there either.”

Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern coach) before the game about ...
... the atmospheric Guiseppe Meazza Stadium:
"I hope it's also atmospheric.
There were already a few Inter fans on the street who gave us a 'nice' greeting.”
... the goal before the Champions League season:
"In a CL season there is only one goal for all teams, you want to win the title."
... the 'energizer' he gave his stars after the Union appearance:
"The Champions League anthem should be enough.
As a Bayern player, you prefer to play in the Champions League.
We had to make the difficult decision again today to field eleven players, so I'm in good spirits."
... the opponent Inter Milan:
"A team that wants the ball.
They shift very, very well.
They will try to find both wings, so we have to be prepared."
... the expected percentage of possession:
"I'm curious to see if it will be similar to the Bundesliga.
Inter will adapt, there will be phases when they will withdraw, even if they don't have the final speed like Union.
They have very ripped off players in attack."
… the match plan:
“We want to pull the chain of three apart, de Vrij does not play.
With Davies and Coman we have very fast players.
We want to get them moving in order to create areas and spaces that we want to use.”
... the line-up and whether that is currently the 1a solution:
"We don't have a 1a solution.
I have a better feeling with Leroy and King, I told Serge that too.
Jamal's mind wasn't clear after his injury.
With Thomas we have a clever player with us.”

Oliver Kahn (Chairman of the Board, FC Bayern) before the game over ...
... the San Siro:
"This is a very special stadium, it is peppered with many positive memories."
... the statements by Julian Nagelsmann that he copied Kahn's jubilant pose in his office:
"I only read that this morning, I didn't see it." (laughs)
… the goals in the Champions League:
"It's relatively clear.
When we got kicked out against Villarreal what a disappointment there was.
That's the benchmark for FC Bayern, we want to win it.
It starts again.
Game one, let's see."
... third place in the Bundesliga:
"It doesn't worry me, it annoys me when we're not top of the table.
We played great in the last two games, but we lacked efficiency.
We have to work on that, we have to think about it.”
… the broad squad:
“We knew what to expect.
Just because of this break because of the World Cup.
The CL group stage will be complete by then, so we wanted a broad squad.
We wanted the competitive situation so that nobody could be too sure.”
.
.. the praise for sports director Salihamidzic:
"The open transfer window is an important moment, but Hasan also has a few other tasks.
We have been working together for two and a half years now, we have a very good relationship with each other.
We can count on each other.
It worked very, very well during this transfer period, but now we also need results on the pitch."
