An epic win for FC Bayern at the Bernabéu! In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final at Real Madrid, the Munich men triumphed 2-1 thanks to a strong performance. “We’re glad about the win here first of all, but it’s still going to be a hard task in Munich,” said captain Manuel Neuer, who was named ‘Player of the Match’ after some brilliant saves, with a view to the return leg at the Allianz Arena next Wednesday, 15 April. Coach Vincent Kompany was proud of his team and optimistic for the second match: “I want our boys to know that they’ve won at the Bernabéu. That’s worth something, we have to take that with us. It shows we can achieve a lot.” fcbayern.com rounds up the rest of the post-match reaction for you.

Reaction to the match at Real Madrid

Max Eberl, board member for sport: “We’ve won away at the Bernabéu, not that many teams do that. We demonstrated what we’ve worked on throughout the season – we were brave, active and defended on the front foot. It’s clear that you’re going to concede a few chances against such a world-class team. When you view the whole game, though, we deserved to win. We kept playing bravely and asserting ourselves. We have to be just as alert and brave in possession in the second leg. Then we’ll have our fans behind us and get the job done.”
