“From my point of view, the reaction was there in the first half,” explained Müller. “We definitely have to take the lead in the first half. When you talk regarding reaction, you’re not talking regarding the result. That’s the nice end product of a reaction. First of all, we’re talking regarding a way: creating chances, hardly any “We had three clear chances to score in the first half. You have to do the same things.”

Overall, he “liked the first half very much for a Champions League away game.” However, FC Bayern did not manage to get a shot on goal; the xG value based on the chances they created was 1.1. In contrast, Lazio had 1.84 expected goals.

According to Müller, the second half was characterized by “uncertainty. It was almost slapstick, the way we made one mistake following another.” He currently misses “the completely detached, natural self-confidence,” but emphasized: “We will focus on not letting ourselves be dragged down any further.”

On Sunday, FC Bayern will be visiting VfL Bochum in the league.
