FC Bayern shows no weaknesses against Bundesliga bottom team SV Darmstadt 98 and wins 5-2 away.
We summarize the interviews surrounding the game.
Darmstadt – FC Bayern celebrated their third win in a row on Saturday afternoon after falling behind against Bundesliga bottom club SV Darmstadt (the live ticker for reading).
Musiala scored twice, Kane, Gnabry and Tel ultimately secured a confident 5-2 win for Munich.
What do the players and FCB bosses say?
We summarize the opinions surrounding the game in the Bundesliga here.
Manuel Neuer (FC Bayern) after the game on Sky about...
... the recent birth of his son:
“You can't compare it with sport.
Personally, it’s just the greatest happiness.”
... the key to victory:
“We stuck with it and didn’t change our style of play even after falling behind.
We then created these scoring chances and then took advantage of them.
And then we also had difference players like Jamal (Musiala,
editor's note
) on the pitch who are difficult to stop.”
... the goals conceded:
“(2 goals conceded,
editor's note
) are clearly too many, we have to talk about it.
But both goals were not so easy to defend.
But that needs to be analyzed.”
... his role as potential number 1 in the national team:
“I will try to do my best, the coach will then decide.
Of course I also talk on the phone (with Julian Nagelsmann,
editor's note
).
I didn't say I was number one.
I just want to keep showing good performances.”
... the non-nomination of Leon Goretzka in the national team
: Anyone who knows Leon knows how ambitious he is and how much he can actually give us.
I was surprised when I found out that he wasn’t there.”

Thomas Tuchel (FC Bayern coach) before the game on Sky about...
... the question of whether he would have nominated Leon Goretzka for the international matches:
“Good question, but the national coach nominated him and then we leave him there.
It's his responsibility and all is well with that.
We push our players.
Leon Goretzka has been very strong for us recently and I hope he can keep it that way.”

... a possible exchange with national coach Julian Nagelsmann regarding the nomination:
“No, he doesn’t have to do that either.
He should have complete freedom to nominate which system he wants to play and which type of player he needs.
And then he is responsible for it.
This is very bitter for Leon
(Goretzka, editor's note)
at the moment because he was very strong.
Especially in the short term, of course, against Lazio and against Mainz 05. He was very strong with two misses and two goals.
But that's not the European Championship squad yet.
That's why it's all a snapshot.
He got a similar decision in the spring and was then invited again.
And that’s why everything is still open.”
... Goretzka's reaction to not being nominated:
“At the beginning he was angry and also disappointed, that's clear.
He is ambitious and really wanted to be there.
But then he trained very well and I am confident that he will play a good game.”
... the starting position before the game in Darmstadt:
“I personally believe that we won’t stumble.
We expect victory from ourselves, everyone expects victory.
So basically we have very little to gain apart from the three points.
Anything that doesn't go according to plan is a huge surprise and of course Darmstadt has everything to gain in this constellation, but that's nothing new.
The way I perceive us now and when I look at who else we can bring off the bench, I believe we won’t stumble.”
... the Champions League draw:
“The road to London is definitely the hardest in my opinion.
But we are looking forward to it and despite everything, we have to prove ourselves today because, of course, the path goes step by step, even if we want to play a role in the Champions League.”
