The evening in Lisbon brought back memories of the German national soccer team’s 7-1 win at the 2014 World Cup against Brazil. Like FC Bayern showed the opponent from Barcelona was impressive. After the game, players and coaches commented on their performance on the Sky microphone.
Leon Goretzka:
“From the very first second we were totally grippy in the duels. That’s what we wanted to do with the excellent individual players. You have to be uncomfortable and stand on your feet in the duels. […] There is self-confidence, no question about it. It doesn’t get any less after tonight either. But it was only one step out of three. “
Question: Did it hurt to see Messi like that? “It didn’t hurt me, it was also a bit of fun. “
Joshua Kimmich:
“We played extremely single-mindedly up front, very very bravely at the back, always having a high chain. We knew that it wasn’t easy against Barca because they were looking for those chip balls behind the chain. In the end, it’s an incredible result . “
Inquiry: A word about Davies, the template for their gate. “I was almost ashamed that I cheered so much after the goal. That was 99 percent his goal.”
Question: Did you feel sorry for Messi? “No.”
Thomas Müller:
“It was definitely a very special evening. The result alone and the way it felt on the pitch was special. […]”
On the subject of team spirit: “The spirit is often discussed. It’s also a good team spirit when you go out for a drink in the evening and the atmosphere was also good. But what matters is that we do the things we want to do on the pitch – and that everyone is tormented. If everyone then plays together, it is ultimately described as team spirit. But it is not that you say: ‘Now let’s turn on the team spirit’ and then you play like that. “
Demand: Did that remind you of the 7-1 win against Brazil? “We didn’t have the game under control against Brazil. It happened against Brazil, we were certainly good and also good at fighting. But we wanted from the start today […] dominate the opponent with our way of playing football. Of course, you can never completely knock out a FC Barcelona, especially not offensively. […] It had a lot more to do with us than in Brazil. “

Hansi Flick:
“I have to pay a huge compliment to the whole team. They kept the intensity high throughout the game, that’s our mentality, that’s what we stand for. I’m very, very happy, also for my entire coaching team. It’s true that we do too have a high quality in training. And you show that on the pitch. How you train, you play too. And that was just as true today. But it’s just a game. We’re all happy that it turned out that way today, but we also know that we still have a lot to do. Of course you can say it’s a statement, but the next game will also start from scratch. “
