Eugen Polanski admires Gladbach’s fighting spirit in defeat to Bayern

Borussia Mönchengladbach’s coach is satisfied with his team’s mentality despite the heavy scoreline in a loss to Bayern.

Borussia Mönchengladbach suffered their sixth consecutive defeat against Bayern Munich in the opening fixture of matchday 25. Eugen Polanski sees the positives after a third successive away defeat for his team.

“We said before the game that everything had to be right for us to get a result against Bayern,” Polanski looked back at his statement before the game. “Unfortunately, that was not the case. We put in a decent performance in the first half, but we were not brave enough in attacking the space behind as we were supposed to do.

“In the second half, things became extremely difficult for us after the red card. However, I definitely saw a team that fought hard.”

Gladbach will be on Friday night action once again when they host St. Pauli on matchday 26. The Foals won their last home game against Union Berlin, which is their only victory since the first match of 2026.
