Bayern exists only to win, but to win in style, too. Winning 2-1 is not enough. We have to win 5-0.
Interpretation
Bayern Munich aims not just to win, but to win impressively.
Toni Kroos emphasizes that Bayern Munich's ethos revolves around achieving victory not only through the scoreline but also by showcasing a superior and aesthetic quality of play.
