Comments on Bayern’s victory: “The speech before the game cost me my toe” – Sport

Harry Kane (FC Bayern striker): “It was a perfect evening, a big moment in our season. Now it’s time to keep the momentum going with the boys. We have our responsibility as players in every game, in every competition. We can still improve.”

Thomas Tuchel (FC Bayern coach) on his injury: “The motivational speech before the game cost me my big toe. I kicked it somewhere and injured myself. I was treated straight away, but didn’t have the courage to take the shoe off because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get back in .That’s why I sat for 90 minutes.

…. to the game: “It was a very solid, very disciplined performance. We didn’t lose our head and played much more courageously than in the first leg, we had a better rhythm. We scored the second goal at the perfect time and that gave us confidence in the game.”

… about the situation in the club: “We all have big goals, the minimum goal is the quarter-finals. We have to stick with it to keep the momentum going. That’s not so easy for us.”

Thomas Müller (FC Bayern striker) on Tuchel and the injury: “I saw him today as very confident and very structured. There’s always a bit of wastage, professional sport is always on edge. We just don’t do it with fruit tea.”

…on the situation at FC Bayern: “I’ve always said that we’re not in complete shambles. We had problems on the football field, but today it was pretty good. It’s not a relief, we haven’t reached a new level of playing culture, but we’ve taken a very important step, that is clear.”

… to his goal: “I wasn’t entirely sure whether I was offside, so I celebrated cautiously at first.”
