In a Champions League clash, Bayern Munich dominated Bayer Leverkusen with a 3-0 victory, making Leverkusen's path to recovery daunting. Coach Xabi Alonso remarked on the pivotal moments that turned the match, emphasizing the detrimental effects of details like the red card and penalty. Midfielder Granit Xhaka acknowledged a strong start but lamented the unnecessary red card. Center-back Jonathan Tah noted Bayern's intensity and credited their performance, indicating that the scoreline didn’t reflect how Leverkusen played overall. The team faces an uphill battle for the second leg of the fixture.
Unfortunately, not much went our way today - the second goal, the red card, the penalty. And it comes down to details in the Champions League.
Despite going 1-0 down, we started the game well. Then we got a dumb red card that was completely unnecessary.
On the whole, Bayern were more intense in the duels, were more alert. I don't think we played as bad as a 3-0 loss, but it comes down to details in the Champions League.
