Bayern Munich showcased their resilience on Saturday, edging past Wolfsburg with a narrow 1-0 victory that underscores their determination to finish the season strongly.
Michael Olise emerged as the hero of the match, scoring a stunning goal in the 56th minute, while star striker Harry Kane’s first-half penalty attempt went awry.
In a match played at Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg held sway in the first half, creating an impressive 2.44 expected goals (xG) compared to Bayern’s 0.94, boosted by the penalty awarded to Kane.
Despite their Champions League semi-final exit earlier in the week, Bayern Munich displayed their prowess, marking an unbeaten streak that now extends to 26 away matches in the Bundesliga. This run comes close to matching their record of 33 consecutive away games between 2012 and 2014.
Post-match, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany reflected on the team’s performance, acknowledging the challenge posed by Wolfsburg: “We played against a team that was ready to do absolutely everything to win the game,” he said. “The first 10 minutes were decent, then we lost our momentum, so the opponent felt they could get something today and were dangerous.” Kompany lauded his players’ adaptability in the second half, stating, “Once again, credit for the response. It’s not easy to come out and then change everything – but we did that.”

Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig proved pivotal for Bayern, making five key saves, including two crucial stops in quick succession to thwart Denis Vavro and Christian Eriksen. Urbig acknowledged the impact of their recent Champions League exit but stressed the need to focus on upcoming challenges. “It started from scratch again. It’s clear that Wednesday hurt a lot, but we don’t need to dwell on that or feel sorry for ourselves; it goes on,” he said. “We still have a home match against Köln and the cup final, sadly not the Champions League. After that, I’ll keep looking forward.”
