Some Bayern Munich players have reacted to their team’s UEFA Champions League victory against Real Madrid.
Bayern eliminated Real Madrid from the Champions League on Wednesday night after beating the Los Blancos 4-3 in the quarter-final second leg tie.
Vincent Kompany’s men advanced to the Champions League semi-final stage on a 6-4 aggregate victory and will take on Paris Saint-Germain later this month.
Reacting, Michael Olise, Bayern midfielder, told TNT Sports: “It was a good, back-and-forth match. We knew they would try to come back. At first, it was a bit like ‘goal, goal, goal’.
“When it eventually calmed down, we played a bit better in the second half and took our chances. We showed good resilience to keep coming back. In the end, it was a result we’re happy with.”
Similarly, Harry Kane, Bayern Munich striker, told TNT Sports: “It was a tough game. Obviously, Real Madrid have this special connection with the Champions League, and you need to be at the highest level to beat them and knock them out.”
Also reacting, Joshua Kimmich, Bayern midfielder, told DAZN: “We did not start the game the way we wanted to. But at half-time, we felt that the advantage was with us, and it paid off watching until the end.”
