Christoph Freund: "It was an important friendly because a lot of guys came back later and have now got those minutes. In that respect, it was exactly what we wanted and the game served its purpose. It was a decent game and it's important that everyone got a game in their legs. It's good that everyone's back again now, and the coach will select the right line-up on Friday."

João Palhinha celebrates his first goal for FC Bayern together with his team-mates.

João Palhinha: "It was a good test, especially for getting the fitness. Players who weren't there have now got minutes. It was also a good test for the young players. They were able to show what they can do. I'm pleased about my goal and hope we make a successful start to the season. It's always special when you score. I'm proud and I'm enjoying being here. We're ready for Friday and will give everything. We have an amazing team, on the pitch and in the dressing room. We can achieve a lot together."
