Overall, the players and officials of FC Bayern were mostly satisfied after the 2-2 draw at Union Berlin. Vincent Kompany did criticize his team’s performance in the early stages of the match, but emphasized the subsequent reaction from the Munich side. Captain Manuel Neuer also drew an overall positive conclusion about the match.

Sporting director Christoph Freund then emphasized on the DAZN microphone: “Given the course of the game, this is a point gained. We knew it would be a tough match with many challenges and set pieces. In the first half hour, we just couldn’t find our rhythm.”

Union “played very well and aggressively,” the Austrian explained, adding: “Nevertheless, we could have turned the game around in the first half – the chance was there. In the second half, there were overall few chances and highlights, but it was a very hard-fought match.”

Freund nevertheless emphasized: “Ultimately, it’s a point gained. The team showed fantastic mentality, scored the late equalizer, and proved their determination not to lose.”

Coach Vincent Kompany particularly highlighted Luis Díaz’s equalizer at the post-match press conference: “We really needed that moment of genius from Lucho. Of course, he could have scored another goal after that, but the quality we have in this team is exactly what we need to achieve our season’s goals.”

Overall, the Belgian also drew a conciliatory conclusion: “All in all, there were some positive aspects today. Leipzig lost. And the way we came back to secure the point is part of a season.”
