23:10 – Marquinhos: “Three finals to play"

Marquinhos on Canal+: “(On the goal) I asked the referee what was happening because a player was blocking him (Safonov). He didn't play the ball, the goalkeeper couldn't do anything. We tried to clear the ball, but we didn't succeed. A goal from a corner, we know that it's important in a match. Last year we were trapped at Dortmund, and again today. We don't like to talk about the refereeing but he was really difficult against us, he didn't make things easy for us. All the doubts were for Bayern. On the goal, someone blocked the goalkeeper. He made his decision, he didn't give away a foul. Physically, they were more ready than us in the fights. We got better as the match went on. They're a team that we knew were going to press. We wanted to take the gap behind their midfielders. We took a few too many risks. We changed in the second half but with the red, it was too difficult. We have three games to play, three finals to play including a home game against City. Our goal is to qualify. We tried to play our game, even with ten men.

23:05 – A fatal exclusion ?

Vitinha on Canal+:  "It's difficult. We gave it our all. After the red card, it was difficult to make the effort. The first half was a pressing match and it was hard to play. I continue to say that we have a very great team, that we can beat the best. Our situation is difficult. There are three games left and we will try to win all three games".
