Vincent Kompany praised his Bayern Munich side's adaptability, after battling their way to a 1-0 win over Wolfsburg.
Michael Olise proved to be the matchwinner in the 56th minute with a stunning finish, while Harry Kane missed a penalty in the first half.
Wolfsburg dominated the opening 45 minutes at Volkswagen Arena, producing 2.44 xG before half-time compared to Bayern's 0.94, which was boosted by Kane's penalty.
Nevertheless, the Bundesliga champions found a way to win, after bowing out in the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday.
Bayern are now unbeaten in their last 26 away games in Bundesliga; only between 2012 and 2014 (33 matches) have they enjoyed a longer run in the competition.
"We played against a team that was ready to do absolutely everything to win the game," Kompany said.
"The first 10 minutes were decent, then we lost our momentum, so the opponent felt they could get something today and were dangerous.
"We lost the ball a lot and lost important duels. We did much better in the second half – respect for how the team reacted.
"Once again, credit for the response. It's not easy to come out and then change everything – but we did that."

Jonas Urbig played a crucial role for Bayern in the win, making five saves, including two in quick succession to deny Denis Vavro and Christian Eriksen.
Urbig acknowledged Bayern were hurt after their Champions League exit, but insisted they are determined to end the season on a high note.
The Bayern goalkeeper said: "It started from scratch again. It's clear that Wednesday hurt a lot, but we don't need to dwell on that or feel sorry for ourselves, it goes on.
"Ulle [Sven Ulreich] and Manu [Manuel Neuer] came up to me straight after the game and congratulated me on my performance, which made me really happy.
"We still have a home match against Koln and the cup final, sadly not the Champions League. After that, I'll keep looking forward."
