"Bayern were certainly superior in the first 45 minutes. We were also lucky to only be 1-0 behind. If you then score one by the 75th minute, it's wide open again."
"When you play such a bad first half, you have to take it as a positive that it's only 1-0. And if you then score, you're back in the game."
"But overall, we have to be honest: Bayern were better."
Bayer Leverkusen captain Robert Andrich acknowledged the team's poor first half against Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal semifinal, where they were outplayed but only trailed 1-0. The second half showed improvement, yet it wasn't enough to secure a win, resulting in a 2-0 loss. Andrich noted that Bayern's superiority was evident, and the team must focus on their Bundesliga campaign to secure a Champions League position for the next season, which will be challenging.
