Vincent Kompany: 'Credit for the response'

Jonas Urbig: “It started from scratch again today. It’s clear that Wednesday hurt a lot, but we don’t need to dwell on that or feel sorry for ourselves, it goes on. Ulle (Sven Ulreich) and Manu (Manuel Neuer) came up to me straight after the game and congratulated me on my performance, which made me really happy. I train very hard from week to week – and just take it one week at a time. We still have a home match against Köln and the cup final, sadly not the Champions League. After that, I’ll keep looking forward.”

Tom Bischof: “We’d discussed me having a shot – it was intended that way and we executed it well. I’m annoyed, I would’ve really liked that. And yes, Harry (Kane) is allowed to miss for once. Wolfsburg could’ve scored five goals – that wasn’t good from us. Our distances were too big. In the second half, we linked up with each better and moved them around more. That was the error in the first half. It’s always bad when you concede a lot of chances and goals. On Jonas Urbig: the way he deputises for Manu when he gets the chance is amazing. He has a great presence. He has to go to the World Cup.”

Reaction from Wolfsburg

Dieter Hecking (coach):“I saw a team today who believe in themselves, who can go at the intensity, who had a good shape and who had their moments in the game where it could’ve swung in our favour. Of course, we know about the risk against Bayern that you’re eventually going to have a period in which you have to suffer. Unfortunately, we conceded the goal in that period. If we’d ridden that out better and maybe been quicker out to double up on Michael Olise, the game might have been more open towards the end. And then we had the huge chance with the shot against the post at the end. Ultimately, though, whether we’d drawn or lost heavily doesn’t change the situation. Nevertheless, it’s a good feeling. I’ll take that because the players have really shown me in the last few weeks that they’re capable of these performances.”

Patrick Wimmer (midfielder): “I think we actually defended pretty well for 95 percent of the match today. I don’t think you can completely keep them out for 90 minutes. And for the ball to then go in off the bar again, that’s obviously the quality of the team and the players they have. If I could say why we haven’t always performed like that, then we wouldn’t be where we are and wouldn’t have the final next week. We’ve certainly gained stability in our team under Dieter Hecking, and I think that’s just good for us. We’re playing steadily, we can play a bit too, which I think we saw today. And I think we’re ready for the final next week now.”
