Felix Zwayer (referee) at Sky: “The Hummels situation was a standard, where I can already see in the game that there is a factual touch. The question for me was whether the arm is stretched away from the body, which I couldn’t see live. I communicated this to the video assistant and it was checked. The video assistant assessed that Hummels had stretched his arm away from the body in an unnatural position, and then I looked at the process and came to the conclusion that it was a clear hand game. “
Regarding the contact between Hernandez and Reus: “We are all happy and demand a robust tackle stance. During the game I saw a contact in the upper body area – a conventional tackle. For me this is a situation that is not black or white, but represents a robust duel. I decided against a penalty because of my generous line in the game. I communicated this to the video assistant immediately based on my clear perception of the situation. The question was then whether there was another contact that was imperceptible to me. This turned out to be No, so there was no penalty and no on-field review as it wasn’t necessary for me. “
Emre Can (Borussia Dortmund) on Sky: “It was a good football game from both teams, which was designed very openly. Both teams have enough chances and in the end a penalty will decide. That’s a shame, because I heard that our penalty has to be given. I don’t understand why the referee doesn’t even go out and look at it. I just don’t understand that and now it’s like a shitty penalty kicks the game. Now we’re talking about the referee again and unfortunately it was too often for Bayern in the past. It’s a shame and it has to change. It can’t happen because we have so many referees. “
Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund) at Viaplay: “You give a referee who has already postponed games the biggest game in Germany. What do you expect?”
Thomas Müller (FC Bayern): “Such decisions are part of football and that’s the bitter thing that the game is decided so in this intense game and so I can understand the frustration and anger. In both actions, however, I can also understand the referee.”
Julian Nagelsmann (Bayern coach): “We didn’t have a good start to the game, but then we were very good and had a lot of chances, even if Dortmund was dangerous in the transition situations. We should lead more clearly at half-time because we were superior. Then we didn’t have a good start again the second half and lost our rhythm due to the many injuries. In the end we played better and with control again. In the end, we deserved to win the game. “
Marco Rose (coach Borussia Dortmund): “Both teams made the game a top game. They showed a lot of will and pull towards the goal. The visor was open on both sides. Therefore, even if it wasn’t always the best football on both sides, it was a game with us.” Fire in. “
About his argument with Felix Zwayer: “I pointed out to him relatively emotionally that he was wrong in several situations and then you get yellow-red – that’s stupid. Marco Reus’ missed penalty was a penalty. Mats’s handball Hummels, where he trips and doesn’t even see the ball and gets the ball in his hand, is at least an arguable penalty. It’s a shame that such a game is decided like this. The game deserves a different outcome and a different decision-making. Mister Zwayer is welcome to whistle to BVB a few more times. We from BVB are there and ready, we are preparing for everything that is to come and you can put a few more obstacles in our way. “
Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund): “I didn’t see the Mats scene at all. He told me it was a 50:50 situation and then I find that hard. Mats tries to go with his head to the ball. For that he needs his body, that’s whole Then I asked the referee why he didn’t watch my action against Hernandez and he tells me it was just a little torso, if I watch it again I have to say he should have watched it again . “
