"I think the most important thing for us is that we don't differentiate between Arsenal and St. Pauli in our preparation. Sure, we're playing at home, not away, but when we look at St. Pauli, we also see what they're doing well. It was tough for us against them twice recently; they fought hard. We're keeping that in mind; we know it won't be easy - even though they've lost eight games."
"The Bayern game might be different for them too - a game like that puts less pressure on you when you're at the bottom of the table. That could be a positive for St. Pauli. We never want to lose, we don't accept it and we don't like it. But it's about the reaction at a certain stage of the season, about the game against Arsenal and now against St. Pauli."
Bayern Munich will host St. Pauli in a Bundesliga match days after a 3-1 Champions League defeat to Arsenal. The team plans to prepare for St. Pauli with the same seriousness as for Arsenal, noting St. Pauli's recent hard-fought performances despite eight losses. Match footage review highlighted that Bayern were solid for much of the game but dropped level in the final 30 minutes, allowing Arsenal to seize control. Set-piece issues were identified but portrayed as a temporary phase, with emphasis on finding solutions and building confidence for key moments later in the season.
