Football: Flick pleased with laboured victory in Moscow

The Bayern boss felt his team passed a tough test away at Lokomotiv Moscow as they won 2-1. Flick: "I've already said that Moscow have a great team. Their defense makes it hard for the opponent to score. But they also have very confident players that are very skillful, and they’ve put us in a couple of difficult situations throughout the game. It was a hard-earned victory. But I think it was well deserved. I am pretty sure other teams in our group will have their difficulties here in Moscow, too. It is important to win the game as we did. It was a laboured victory, we’ve ticked that box and now we will prepare for Cologne."
