Bayern trembled their way to success in Augsburg.
They also had to struggle with the grass.
For Leon Goretzka, the victory was all the more worth it.
Augsburg – FC Bayern celebrates three hard-fought points in Augsburg.
In a close game with numerous contentious situations and a heated final phase, the record champions narrowly won 3-2 against the Fuggerstadt team on Saturday.
Despite his Bayern's success, Leon Goretzka had a lot to talk about afterwards.
He didn't just criticize the Swabians for their style of play.
Goretzka rages against FC Augsburg after the game: “Incredibly unattractive football”
Bayern could be satisfied with their performance in Augsburg.
They had achieved an essential three-point win in the fight for the championship, even though they had been on their last stretch in terms of personnel for a few weeks.
Leon Goretzka was also convincing (

The German international used the Sky interview after the game to talk himself into a rage and complain about the hosts' style of play.
The FCA stands for “incredibly unattractive football,” complained the 28-year-old Bayern midfielder.
But it wasn't just the Augsburg players who came off badly - Goretzka also had a hard time on the track in the WWK Arena.

“I like listening to the shitstorm”: Bayern’s Goretzka shoots against the FCA turf
“Look at the meadow, a field,” he replied, horrified, to Sky reporter Patrick Wasserzieh.
“We say all the time that we want to see attractive football, that’s not possible here.
I can't understand.
“I’m happy to listen to the shitstorm now,” said Goretzka angrily, looking at possible reactions to his statements.
For him, the pitch in the Augsburg stadium is not suitable for the Bundesliga.
“If you just look at what we're standing on here, you can't call it a meadow.
We always have as many conditions as the stands have to be, and then we play on a pitch like that.
“Everyone who plays football knows that it is not possible to play technically good football,” Goretzka clearly criticized.

“Simply difficult”: FCB star Goretzka still has words of praise for Augsburg
However, given the circumstances, FCA is doing “excellently well,” Goretzka emphasized to Sky.
The Fuggerstadt team acted “extremely physically” and “with long balls,” said the Bayern star.
This approach in combination with the expandable terrain in the WWK Arena made it “simply difficult” for the record champions, the 28-year-old added.
The victory is therefore all the more “valuable” for the Munich team.
But the national player didn't just comment clearly on the conditions for the guest appearance with the Swabians.
Goretzka also spoke clearly about rumors that he wanted to leave FC Bayern soon.
