The hosts blitzed their visitors for four goals in the first half in a display of ruthless finishing.
After the match, Goal.com met up with Bayern midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, who despite the result took a very sober perspective on the events.
“Every player knows our situation,” he said, alluding to Bayern’s current standing in the Bundesliga. “From the result and the way the game was played, today was good.”
Of course, the question naturally follows as to how Bayern’s explosive turn-around came to be. Schweinsteiger was careful to distance himself from comments made by the Bayern management last week criticizing former coach Louis van Gaal.
“It is not like the media has shown. I think we have played some very good games under Van Gaal.”
Sunday’s win against Leverkusen was Bayern’s first match under caretaker coach Andries Jonker, who replaced Van Gaal a week ago following the Dutchman’s departure.
The result saw Bayern move third in the Bundesliga table as they regained control of the last Champions League spot.
