FC Bayern and Borussia Mönchengladbach win the Champions League. Manuel Neuer once again excels. The voices.
Once again it was an almost ideal day from a German point of view in the Champions League. (Results and schedule of the Champions League)
FC Bayern won 3-1 against FC Salzburg and Borussia Mönchengladbach even beat Schachtar Donezk 4-0.
The Munich riders are already sure to be the group winners in the quarter-finals, the foals at least with one leg.
In Bavaria, Marc Roca’s yellow-red card provided a beauty spot – in Borussia, a fall back by Breel Embolo provided a topic for conversation. Even the death of football legend Diego Maradona did not pass by without a trace.
We summarize the voices of Sky, DAZN and the press conferences:
Hansi Flick (manager FC Bayern): “We made our way a bit difficult because we had a lot of slight ball losses. It was better in the second half. Even after the Yellow-Red Card against Marc Roca, we had no problems. I am satisfied with the fourth victory in the fourth game in this group stage. I am very satisfied with the efficiency. And in the back we have Manuel Neuer, a world-class goalkeeper, that says it all.”…
about the vulnerable defense: “These ball losses must not happen like this. We were a little too careless there. We’ll analyze that. Sometimes it’s unconcentration, recklessness. We simply have to stand differently on the pitch and be ready from the start against a team that presses very well and has made life difficult for us.”…
about Neuer: “Manu has been playing sensationally since I became a coach. He’s in the form of his life. When an opponent striker approaches him, it will always be damned hard to score a goal because the goal for the strikers gets smaller and smaller. He makes it sensational, he has insane reflexes. I’m really glad he’s in this form right now. It’s not a coincidence. Manu is an insane professional, he is very focused and focused on his job, which is why he can achieve this top performance week after week.”
