"When the referee adds 16 minutes as additional time [six in the first half, nine in the second half], then something must have happened in the game,"
"I've never spoken about the referees since I arrived here. But when you get all this added time, then you realize that not only the 22 players influenced the game, there are other people that played a role too."
"For what did Harry Kane get a yellow card? The defender slipped and he gave Kane a yellow,"
"It's true that I was emotional, simply because clear and simple situations were complicated [by the referee]. I fought relegation before and know how it works. The boys played 7 games in 20 days. We drew today, we didn't lose, but it's a pity."
Bayern Munich were held to a 2-2 draw by Hamburg, with referee decisions dominating the match narrative. The official added a total of 16 minutes of stoppage time—six minutes in the first half and nine in the second—prompting serious criticism. Vincent Kompany publicly questioned specific calls, including a yellow card shown to Harry Kane after a defender slipped, and argued that decisions beyond the 22 players influenced the result. Bayern endured a congested run of seven games in 20 days, and the club will benefit from a less hectic fixture list in February.
