One thing is clear - Bayer Leverkusen experienced a lot of joy in knocking Bayern Munich out of the DFB-Pokal. A red card-induced 1-0 win over the Bavarians, had Die Werkself pumped up.
I'm very proud that we made it to the next round here in the Allianz Arena. Even against ten men it's very difficult to win here, but we achieved it and that makes me happy. As expected, it was a heated battle. Now, we're super-happy about the quarterfinal, said Bayer Leverkusen head coach and former Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso.
We all knew what to expect in the Allianz Arena. It's not easy to prevail here. It wasn't our best performance in possession. Overall, however, we managed to play according to plan, particularly in the first half. We wanted to press them hard and get behind their back line, said Tah.
It was very good. I am happy and glad we won. We wanted to be focused today and we played well. In the last game here in Munich, I had a late chance to score. I didn't score then but today it worked, remarked Nathan Tella.
