Lea schüller reflects on emotional return to old trafford

For Lea Schüller, the match was an emotional reunion with her former club. The German international, who joined Bayern Munich from Wolfsburg in the summer, admitted that adapting to her new teammates and system has taken time. 'It's not so easy,' she said after the game. 'I was six years at Wolfsburg with the same tactics, so it's a big change. I need to get to know the girls better and fit in.'

Schüller, who scored the opening goal for Bayern, praised her opponents and acknowledged the difficult conditions United presented. 'They made it hard for us, they couldn't play their normal game,' she noted. 'A bit disappointing was the third goal, but we still have another game.'

Meanwhile, Pernille Harder's individual brilliance was a highlight for the Danish star, who scored twice for Bayern. 'It was very important to win away,' Harder said. 'Momo is a big talent, she came with big jetlag but was immediately there and got a crucial goal.' The 20-year-old Momoko Tanikawa received praise from Harder for her contribution, despite her recent return from the Asian Cup final with Japan.
