Meanwhile the Bavarian coach, Xabi Alonsothus commented on the outcome of the match to the microphones of Sky Sports DE: “We played a good first half with a lot of stability. We took the lead 2-0 and it was nice, but it wasn’t over yet and when you don’t score anything can happen. St Pauli scored and then put pressure on us Maybe we lacked a bit of intensity in one-on-one matches. But it’s not easy to play every three days and today was a good example of that.” Then on Wirtz: “Flo gives us that extra quality. It was brilliant. Seeing the goal live was wonderful.”
