Bayern Munich trainer Jupp Heynckes insisted that he has no regrets with the display exhibited by his players in their 1-1 league draw with Borussia Monchengladbach at the Allianz Arena on Friday. He was glad to share the spoils
and praised the performance of Gladbach goalkeeper, Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

points. He complimented Die Roten for continuing their top form and containing Gladbach’s strikers.
"I am very happy, even though we only drew 1-1. We dictated the game for 90 minutes, especially in the second half. We played outstandingly well and did not give Borussia an opportunity to score,” he added.
The former striker suggested that Gladbach caused problems for their defence, but said their overall performance was worthy of a win.
"It was definitely not easy to defend against them, but I think that we deserved to win because of our second-half performance," he mused.
"Ter Stegen was the best player on the pitch, he was outstanding. We had a lot of chances, but we were not able to take them. We did not leak anything defensively. I can't fault my team,” he stated.
Heynckes then appreciated the quality of opposition goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and added that he was spectacular to keep Bayern at bay. The shot-stopper was the main reason behind the Reds not scoring more than a goal, as
he was outstanding.
