""We played some good football in the first half today, but the second half was more of a fight and we didn't manage to play our game. "It's difficult to string two or three passes together on this pitch. Union played a lot of long balls and there were a lot of duels. I think it was not an attractive half to watch for neutrals.""
""I'm not sure when was the last time we advanced to this stage," he said. "It felt like we were always out by November or December in the past five or six years, so it was very important that we advanced today. "The goal is to go to Berlin for the final, and we're working towards that.""
Bayern Munich advanced to the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals with a 3-2 win over Union Berlin. Two Union own goals and a Harry Kane header put Bayern 3-1 up at half-time before Leopold Querfeld converted a second Union penalty early in the second half to close the gap. Querfeld became the first player to score two penalties against Manuel Neuer in the same match. Bayern registered only 0.74 expected goals while conceding 2.69 xG yet still progressed. The club aims to reach the final in Berlin, with the second half marked by long balls, duels and difficult pitch conditions.
