😔 Neuer's lament: we're missing that killer mentality | OneFootball

Bayern Munich were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League after drawing 1-1 against PSG, losing 5-6 on aggregate. After the final whistle, captain and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer reflected on the painful elimination.

Lack of killer instinct

Neuer was self-critical as he pointed out the difference between the two teams. "We didn’t have many big chances today, but we created enough to score. We lacked the killer instinct PSG showed in front of goal," the goalkeeper admitted. He also regretted that his team’s goal came too late and that they were unable to make the most of the key moments in the tie.

Looking ahead and disappointment

Despite the elimination, the goalkeeper highlighted the team’s strong domestic campaign: "We deservedly won the league and we’re looking forward with excitement to the cup final in Berlin." However, he admitted that, at this moment, the overwhelming feeling in the dressing room is deep disappointment at having come so close to the big continental final.
