Kompany on whether Bayern will take it a bit easy now in the Bundesliga with the 11-point gap to focus on other competitions: "We now have an eleven-point lead. We've scored 88 goals. Why stop now? We're going full throttle"
Vincent Kompany: "Today's game was a great advert for the Bundesliga. The momentum, the intensity, the scoreline, the 80,000 spectators, it was simply brilliant. Dortmund really wanted to take the opportunity, you could feel that throughout the match. That's understandable. But we didn't just sit back and absorb pressure, we always tried to create our moments, and in my opinion, they were good moments. Both teams had the desire to push forward"
Bayern are already preparing a second bid to Stuttgart for Nick Woltemade. Nobody at Säbener Straße expected the matter to be resolved quickly. The goal is to make Stuttgart give in and reach an agreement step by step. However, despite the need for Woltemade especially after Musiala's injury, Bayern have no intention of paying astronomical fees. The club is relying on the agreement with the player, who is determined to move to Munich [@StefanKumberger, @SPORT1]
Liverpool have refused to engage with Bayern over Luis Díaz. No formal bid received and zero encouragement from LFC other than outlining their not-for-sale stance. Liverpool have no plans to allow Bayern to present or discuss any bid for Díaz [@JacobsBen]
The Athletic's report that Bayern have renewed their interest in Xavi Simons corroborates information from @tzmuenchen. Max Eberl has made initial contact with the Dutchman. Still no negotiations between both clubs. Simons wants to leave Leipzig this summer
Was machen wir jetzt eigentlich? Woltemade ist nen 50/50 Ding ob das wirklich klappt, Flügelspieler werden wir anhand der Hoeneß Aussagen jetzt keinen mehr holen und eigentlich bräuchten wir wegen dem Musiala Ding noch einen 10er. Mich würds brutal wundern wenn Eberl nicht bei Simons die nächsten Tage/Wochen ernst macht
Lothar Matthäus: "Jamal Musiala's injury totally shocked me, especially after he had fought his way back into the starting lineup. I wish him all the best. In this situation, FC Bayern should consider whether to give Thomas Müller a six-month contract. The season in the USA only starts by then, and in the meantime, he could be a great help to FC Bayern. Bayern did something similar with me when I moved to the New York Metro Stars. The fans would certainly be happy, too." [@BILD]
If he were to leave Bayern, Thomas Tuchel would become another manager in contention for the Barcelona job. If there’s no compensation to pay, Tuchel will definitely be on Barça’s shortlist [@polballus, @TheAthleticFC]
