Bayern München coach Hansi Flick says he needs to talk to his players about their performance in the second half of Wednesday's 4-3 win over Hoffenheim in the DFB-Pokal.
The German champions were 3-1 up at the break after a dominant first-half display and added a fourth after 80 minutes.
But what seemed like a comfortable victory for Bayern turned into a bit of nail-biter towards the end as Munar Dabbur scored twice for the guests.
"I'm satisfied that we qualified for the next round, because that's all that counts in the cup. But we need to talk about the way we played in the second half," Flick said after the game.
"This is a wake-up call for us. In Mainz, too, we took a step back in the second half and weren't as involved in the game as we were before the break," he added.
Flick then went on to underline that his players will have to keep focused for 90 minutes in Sunday's top-of-the-table clash against RB Leipzig.
"On Sunday, we'll have to perform over 90 minutes as a team," he said.
Bayern are top of the Bundesliga, one point clear of RB Leipzig.
