Bayern, Sevilla Say ‘It Wasn’t Good 90 Mins For Us’

Sevilla Saraba netting the only goal for his home side

Bayern Munich defender Mats Hummels on BT Sport: “The result would have got our signature if you gave it to us before the game.

“We’re happy with the result but it wasn’t 90 minutes good for us. There was half an hour in the first half when Sevilla were clearly the better team.

“We watched many of Sevilla’s games and the coach told us how good they are.

“It didn’t come as a surprise but we didn’t want them to be as dominant for the first half. We will analyse and talk about that and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

 

Sevilla coach Vincenzo Montella: “We didn’t have any luck. I’m grateful to my players for playing an excellent game against a really high-level opponent. The team deserved more.

“We had a perfect tactical shape in the first half. The first goal on the counter was a shame.

“The second half was more level but we didn’t have the energy to play on the counter-attack.

“We had some shots in the last few minutes and I liked that a lot, but the two goals were a shame.

“I’m happy with the team. They finished with little physical energy but a lot important mental strength. That strength is what we’ve got to take to Munich.” It ended 2-1 in favour of the visiting Bayern
