The Bavarian giant’s chief executive examined the unforgettable match again during the summer holidays, and is still unable to figure out how they lost out on Europe’s elite trophy at their home ground in May.
The FC Hollywood director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is scarred by the fact that they were beaten by Chelsea in the final of Europe’s Premier Cup competition and still does not come to know how they could not overhaul the English Premier
League side.
Die Bayern played the crucial match at their home stadium, Allianz Arena. On top of that, they were winning with the help of a Muller headed goal, but gave in their goal advantage and eventually lost the epic game on penalties.
The CEO is still astonished by the game changing moments of the final.
The former West http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 striker reviewed the final without bias and is still amazed by the outcome.
"You can only see what really happened when you look at it without emotions. I watched the Champions League final again during my holiday, and I have to admit that it was rather interesting," Rummenigge stated.
"However, I understand even less how exactly we managed to lose this game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and we didn't grab it,” he added.
Rummenigge conceded that losing at home is unacceptable in a must win match and rues the missed chances from the German outfit. Bayern largely dominated the clash during the 90 minutes but were unable to convert them into goals.
"You play the final in your own stadium against a team that you must beat. It was not a matter of having the chance to beat them. We simply had to beat them. And somehow we managed to lose the match after a penalty shoot-out,"
he concluded.
Der FCB kicked off their campaign with a 2-1 win against Borussia Dortmund in DFL-Supercup and then defeated Jahn Regensburg in a convincing manner in the German Cup.
Bayern start their league season with an away trip to the Bundesliga debutants on Saturday August 25. The Bavarians will look forward to a positive start to the new season and reclaim their league title from the BVB.
