Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann confirmed that this evening’s victory over Leipzig was not surprising for him, noting at the same time that the Bavarian is preparing before the match against Barcelona, which is scheduled for next Tuesday, in the round of the group stage of the Champions League.
Bayern Munich won a new victory against its counterpart Leipzig 4-1, in the match that brought the two teams together today, Saturday, at the Red Bull Arena, in the fourth round of the German League competition.
“It was not surprising, it’s actually normal, it’s part of football,” Nagelsmann said, during his post-match remarks.
He added about Leroy Sane: “When he plays on the right he has only one solution, when he plays on the left side, he has a lot of options in his game and this suits him better as he showed during the training camp of the German national team.”
He continued: “I can’t say much about Barcelona without Messi. It’s a different team, with Messi the focus is a little more, but it’s still a match against Barcelona in Barcelona in a great stadium and it will be a big match.”
On the rest of Nicholas Zule, he commented: “We have different options in the team, we are thinking about Barcelona, although the Leipzig match was important today, with Pavard and Lucas, we have two other players who have returned to play.”
