"Schalke were really impressive in the first game [of 2020] against Gladbach. But we play here at home and wanted to play our game, our philosophy.READ | Bayern Munich 5-0 Schalke: Rampant win sees Bundesliga champion close the gap "We wanted to disrupt the opponent early, put pressure on them early with a high intensity. We did this very well, especially in the first half."It was crucial that we got the three points. This must give us even more confidence. The quality in the squad is excellent, and if I can then lift them as I did here, I am very satisfied."It was, of course, a very successful day for us."Muller, who scored his 100th goal at Allianz Arena, suggested Bayern was motivated by Leipzig's defeat."After the Leipzig result, we might have had a little more," he said. "Usually, there is only the 100 per cent - today there was maybe two or three per cent on top."Like against Dortmund [a 4-0 home win in November], we didn't want to give Schalke space. We are very happy with the game. We played well as a team."
