"I said to the lads before the match: if you want to survive in Munich, you have to play with courage, with forward drive, with guts, and we completely lacked that in the first half,"
"We were untidy in our play and didn't win tackles. The second half offers encouragement, though, because I think we were even better than Bayern."
"Nevertheless, over the 90 minutes and in the first half especially, it wasn't enough overall and then you're just not going to win in Munich."
"Obviously we're disappointed: with the result and particularly the first half. The second half was considerably better. I think the spectators nevertheless saw a good Klassiker. It's a shame we didn't get the equaliser but we just weren't good enough in the first half. We needed a few more minutes in the second half, then maybe we would've done it."
Dortmund's unbeaten run ended with a 2-1 defeat at Bayern Munich, leaving them fourth and seven points behind. The team registered just one shot on target, scored by Julian Brandt in the 84th minute, and conceded seven attempts. The first half lacked courage, forward drive and successful tackles, producing untidy play. The second half showed improvement and generated encouragement, but overall performance over 90 minutes was insufficient to win in Munich. More minutes in the second half might have produced an equaliser, but the early deficit proved decisive.
