Jonas Urbig found himself unexpectedly stepping in as Bayern Munich's goalkeeper during a vital Champions League knockout match against Bayer Leverkusen after Manuel Neuer's injury. Having previously spent the season on the bench and in the 2. Bundesliga, Urbig performed admirably, keeping a clean sheet and impressing with his ball-handling skills. After the game, Urbig expressed a mix of concern for Neuer's health and exhilaration over his debut, focusing on staying centered during those critical moments on the pitch.
"First of all, I hope Manu gets well soon and that it's nothing bad," Urbig said in comments captured via FCBayern.com. "I was obviously really excited for me to be able to make my debut in the Champions League."
Urbig acknowledged the emotions coursing through him but settled on explaining just two, concern and excitement. "I sort of took it all in, but I was really focused and tried to cope with those 30 minutes."
