Speaking after his side’s 3-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich last night, Union Berlin coach Urs Fischer admitted that the Bavarians were by far the better side.
“They were clear winners – two or three classes above. You have to admit that,” said Fischer, who saw his team concede three first-half goals.
“We could’ve gone in at the break 1-0 down, but 3-0 is a fair result. The second and third goals annoyed me, especially the build-up. When you gift Bayern chances like that, they gobble them up.”
Rani Khedira felt Union were punished for being too passive from the start of the game.
“You have to be really bold if you want to come away from Munich with anything,” said the Union midfielder.
“We just weren’t in the first half and then there’s no way back here. We’re about defending from the front, but we were too passive and sat too deep in the first half. And when Bayern start motoring, they take advantage of that.”
