Salih Özcan: “If we make it 2-3, it will be exciting again. Dome didn’t have to put up with any sayings, we’re all standing together. It’s a gross situation. To bring the ball in again from such an angle, but there is nothing you can do about it. ”

“I actually wanted to put it straight in, then a thousand thoughts go through your head. Usually this happens to Neuer in one out of a hundred cases. That I don’t clean it is doubly bitter, ”said Dominick Drexler (30).

The scene was somewhat reminiscent of Frank Mill, who, in his first game for Borussia Dortmund in 1986, also put the ball in front of the empty goal against the Bayern goal post.

There was a little consolation for Drexler in the cabin. Because then the referee let him know that he had been sidelined before the scene. So the hit wouldn’t have counted at all!
