It was a very even game for the opening 60 minutes. We stepped up the intensity after that and that eventually resulted in Lewandowski's goal."Schalke were the better team in the first half, but we were the better side after the break. "It was a great and very intense game from both teams."Lewandowski, meanwhile, feels patience was the key to Bayern's late win."It was a very intense and good game," the striker added."We knew that we had to be patient."I am very pleased that we won. It is never easy to play here and it was an important win."</blockquote>
