Arsenal – PSGthe Champions League final, takes place on May 30, in Budapest.
After the show in the tour, 5-4 for PSG in Paris, in Munich they played more closed, thinking only about the qualification. The French opened the scoring quickly through Dembele in the 3rd minute, while Bayern equalized in extra time through Kane, too late to attempt a comeback.
Neuer believes that the lack of efficiency in front of the opposition goal led to the elimination from the Champions League. In the first half, Bayern had only one shot on goal.
Manuel Neuer: “And we had to be more efficient”
“We didn't have big chances. When you see what they did, how they took their chances, you realize that we had to be just as efficient. We didn't have chances. We didn't succeed from set pieces either.
The audience helped us, but it wasn't clear enough what we had to do. We were two teams that played offensively, we could have scored more. We tried to press, we hoped to reach the opposing goal with more people. More could be scored.
We won the title in Germany, we have the Cup final, but now there is a lot of disappointment for this elimination”, said Manuel Neuer after the match, in a flash interview.
Bayern have two more matches in the league, against Wolfsburg and Koln. Then comes the German Cup final against Stuttgart on May 23.
