"I'm incredibly proud of the team's mentality. Many things happened. There were phases where you could have different opinions, and which influenced the game. We got a red card [Jackson] out of nowhere. No discussion about that. However, there's discussion about Lucho's [Diaz] red card. I can't understand it."
Bayern Munich secured a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in a match marked by controversial officiating decisions. Nicolas Jackson received a straight red card for a violent challenge before half-time, while Luis Diaz was sent off in the 84th minute for a second yellow card following a simulation decision. Diaz had earlier equalized Aleix Garcia's opening goal, and his crucial strike helped Bayern salvage a point despite the late dismissal. Manager Vincent Kompany expressed pride in his team's resilience and mentality throughout the match, though he voiced clear frustration with several refereeing calls that he felt negatively impacted the game. Bayern's lead at the top of the Bundesliga was reduced to nine points following the draw.
