Quotes

Ottmar Hitzfeld: "Leverkusen started very well, imposed a high pace on the game and showed some excellent moves. We had a few problems organising ourselves defensively. We changed the formation and let Miro Klose play a little more detached from the midfield. In the last 15 minutes of the first half we began to control the game. In the second half we were closer to a second goal, although in the closing stages the pressure was intense again. It was a hard-fought victory – we weren’t as strong as we had been recently and we didn’t play as well on the counter-attack. This has been our hardest test so far."

Miroslav Klose: "We had a hard job of it today. Leverkusen played well and put us under a lot of pressure. I think we had some real problems in the first half."

Rudi Völler: "We saw a splendid game from both team, and we played extremely well in the first 25 minutes. We had a few scoring chances and put Bayern under a bit of pressure. But against a team as good as Bayern you have to take advantage of this kind of domination by scoring if you want to have a chance over 90 minutes. Still, I wouldn’t say this is a setback for us."

Michael Skibbe: "Bayern deserved the win because of their calmness. However, I am very satisfied with the performance of my team, they played really well."
