  • José Barcala said the performance fell below Bayern's standards and noted his team struggled with compactness, timing and tempo.
  • Klara Bühl acknowledged Bayern deserved the defeat after scoring their lone goal to make it 1–3 before halftime.

  • Germany coach Christian Wück called the result a wake-up call ahead of the late-October Nations League semifinals, as Bayern turn to Wolfsburg on Saturday and Juventus next week.
