Bayern tune up for Liverpool with 'feel-good' goal spree

Explore Business Standard

Bayern Munich warmed-up for Wednesday's Champions League showdown against Liverpool with a 'feel-good' goal spree to seize control of the Bundesliga after a 6-0 battering of Wolfsburg.
"It was a perfect day - it feels good and is good for self-confidence. I think we can definitely win," said goal-scorer Joshua Kimmich with an eye on Liverpool.
This was a polished display from Bayern in their final match before hosting Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in the last 16, return leg following a goalless draw at Anfield.
Bayern ran riot in Munich as Robert Lewandowski led the way with two goals as Serge Gnabry, James Rodriguez and Kimmich also netted.
"I am very pleased," said head coach Niko Kovac with Bayern back on top of the Bundesliga for the first time since September on goal difference ahead of Borussia Dortmund.
"At no time were we in trouble, we could have scored more and now we are leaders - which is where we want to stay.
"We have another important game on Wednesday, that's what we want to focus on and win, then we'll see what the future brings."

"The way they turned it into positive energy today speaks for them, as players and as people."
