"As a coach, I do believe you learn a great deal from days like today. That’s the way it is in football," the Bayern boss said after the game at Allianz Arena.

"You have to put results like this behind you. We’re down at the moment, but we’ll get back up again."

"We need to recognise that Bremen were the better team today, most of all because they were ruthless with their chances.

They hit us with the next blow every time we were finding our way back. It’s obviously painful.

"Unfortunately, we came up short of what was needed to win the game today, but the team will be very self-critical when dealing with this defeat and then we’ll look to the future."

The thrashing result recalled memories of Bayern's 7-0 home defeat to Schalke in the 70s, when the Bavarians finished seventh in the Bundesliga.
