Werder Bremen knew it was running into a machine in 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich

Werder Bremen got wrecked…

Bayern Munich steamrolled Werder Bremen 4-0 on Friday and it was not a shock to many…including Werder Bremen itself.

The Bavarians have been an unstoppable force and while Werder Bremen gave a solid effort and put up a fight, Die Werderaner became the latest team to get run over at the Allianz Arena.

“The chance of picking up points away at FC Bayern is a small one. We gave it our best shot and even had our moments. Karl’s performance was crucial to that. We needed everything to work out tonight, though, and ultimately it wasn’t enough,” said Jens Stage in a statement released by Werder Bremen.

For goalkeeper Karl Hein, who was very strong, it was his debut…and he got thrown right into the fire.

“It’s a real honor to have made my debut for Werder. We gave our all today, but we simply came up against too much quality in Bayern. We now have to accept the defeat and focus on continuing to look forward and improving our game,” said Hein.


Bayern Munich was the home side in the Bundesliga on Friday when Werder Bremen came to town.

The Bavarians decimated the visitors 4-0 in a game that was never really close. Bayern Munich was relentless and dominant in every aspect of the match. It is not as if Werder Bremen did not try, but the players just could not match up with the machine that was Bayern Munich.
