"That was far too little of everything, and that's what our players heard today. It was clear that there would not be a game with many chances, Union has not conceded six goals for nothing."

"We often make it too easy for such opponents. We scored both goals ourselves, so to speak. [...] The form curve is not exactly pointing upwards. We had an emotional game against Bayern, we were also good in Sevilla, and to be honest, that was all just a few days ago."

"But then there are always games like the one on Sunday. The load is high for many teams. Union had only played on Thursday, we had two days more break and yet they invested more for a long time."

"We didn't support each other enough, especially in the first half, our free-flow behaviour and positional play were not good, we hardly demanded balls in relevant spaces. The box occupation was also not sufficient."

"Eighth place is not our aspiration, it's not what we expect. The fact that it happens more often that we deliver such a first half before we improve gives us pause for thought. That's why we have to live with the criticism that's coming now."
