Bayern Munich boss proud of incredible comeback against PSG in UCL semi-final: “We didn’t high-five them on their way to Budapest!”

FC Bayern Munich Board Member for Sport Max Eberl found himself simply awestruck by the grandiose spectacle that was Tuesday evening’s Champions League match against PSG at the Parc des Prince. The nine-goal thriller Eberl’s Bundesliga outfit and the Ligue 1 champions certainly counts as one of the best matches in the entire history of the UCL competition.

The fact that Bayern fought back from a three-goal deficit en-route to a 5-4 loss serves as another amazing feat for Bayern in their already historic season. Conceding five goals against the opponent matters much less in such a context. Eberl was quick to point out that this left him feeling very optimistic heading into next Wednesday’s encounter at the Allianz Arena

Max Eberl confident in Bayern Munich

“We proved that we could hurt PSG today,” the 52-year-old remarked in the mixed zone. “We’re one goal behind. We just have to win to send it into extra time. If we win by more than one goal, we’re through. We just have to make up a one-goal deficit.”

“In all honesty, we’re talking about a Champions’ League semi-final,” Eberl answered when a reporter asked how seriously Bayern would have to take the defensive lapses. “We’re talking about an opponent who can [obviously] play football as well.

“I think that we courageously stood up to them,” Eberl continued. “And we have a return leg coming up. We’ll see how that goes.“
