"It actually felt quite good. We'll have to watch it again. It's often the case against Bayern that you think you could've got more out of it. At the same time, you have to be honest and say that their individual quality is just outstanding. You have to be alert for 95 minutes,"
"We were in the game for a long time. We needed to make better use of one or two counter-attacks that we had. Overall we put up a good fight. It was a good atmosphere, we were pushed from front to back - even now at the end. We've lost 3-1 but the fans still recognized the fact we battled from the first minute to the last. And I think that's what it's about,"
FC Köln briefly led 1-0 when Linton Maina dribbled from his own half and struck past Manuel Neuer in the 41st minute.

Goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe emphasized that the team battled from the first minute to the last and that fans recognized the effort.
