Flick hails 'very successful day' as Bayern close on Leipzig

Hans-Dieter Flick Head Coach
Bayern Munich is now just a point behind RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga table, leaving head coach Hansi Flick delighted.

Hansi Flick reflected on a "very successful day" after Bayern Munich dismantled Schalke to capitalize on Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig's defeat earlier on Saturday.

Defending champions Bayern won 5-0 at home to move within a point of Leipzig, who were beaten 2-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Head coach Flick was delighted with the way his side disrupted Schalke, aside also on the fringes of the title picture in fifth place.
Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Leon Goretzka, Thiago Alcantara and Serge Gnabry were all on target.
"That was very good," Flick said. "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.
"We wanted to disrupt the opponent early, put pressure on them early with high intensity. We did this very well, especially in the first half.
"It was crucial that we got 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 were motivated by Leipzig's defeat.
"After the Leipzig result, we might have had a little more," he said. "Usually, there is only 100 percent - today there was maybe two or three percent on top.
"Like against Dortmund [a 4-0 home win in November], we didn't want to give Schalke space. We are very happy about the game. We played well as a team."
