Everyone who watched these ninety minutes, whether in the crowded Allianz Arena or by themselves in front of the TV, felt a great sense of exhaustion at the conclusion. It was a story full of emotions, positive and negative explosions, intensity, and ferocity. "There were so many emotions in this game," Vincent Kompany, the head coach of FC Bayern, summed up. Aleksandar Pavlović added, "The stress levels were enormous today."

"The fans helped us," Kompany said: "You always had the feeling the team would come back."
However, compared to a typical football game, those ninety minutes against Real gave so much more. Joshua Kimmich said, "It was very dramatic: There was a lot going on in the first half." The final five minutes were truly amazing, but the second half was a little quieter with fewer chances to score goals.

"The game shows how we are," exclaimed Max Eberl, a delighted board member for sport: "We kept coming back." 1-1, falling behind once more, 2-2, falling behind once more, and ultimately winning. That very much captures this team's personality.
Not enough time to breathe
Not enough time to breatheNeither on the field nor in the stands were you able to catch your breath throughout that night. A night when you were afraid of missing something and dared not even go to the restroom or refreshment stand. After all, the action was end-to-end, one hit after another, and at times it was so intense that it was nearly overwhelming. There were fouls that went unpunished, penalties that went unpunished, and scoring opportunities that were almost missed. Above all, though, the game was a delightful tale.
FC Bayern rallied and scored three equalizers in their three comebacks. It served as a lesson in unwavering will, teamwork, and fighting spirit and morale. And, at the very end, presented a joyful conclusion that was so lovely and amazing that it was almost corny. "This team and this club are absolutely alive and united," a grinning Eberl admitted. "It just feels terrific." This energy originates from both the outside and the pitch. We are strong because you can sense it."

It was ninety minutes of European footballing history filled with red and white passion. "In my opinion, the key element was that we didn't ask ourselves, "What was that today?" after the game. Instead, we gave it everything we have," Kompany stated: "The pictures of the boys celebrating with the supporters show what the victory means. This unwavering sense of teamwork is what's left. Today, we demonstrated a great deal of character and a constant will to fight back. We played against a great Real Madrid side. The club is having a fantastic night because of this.
"That was a unique experience."
Even with all the happiness, players and spectators alike are currently exhausted. "I think we first have to come to terms with what happened here tonight," Manuel Neuer, the captain of Bayern, stated. "You don't frequently get to enjoy a true Champions League night like that. It was very special for the spectators - and for us too."
When they play Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals, this is supposed to continue. "The atmosphere today was outstanding, we want to experience that again," said the captain: "A bit of drama? I think that's just part of it." "They're super active, perhaps alongside us one of the most active teams right now," Pavlović remarked. "Everyone knows what kind of team PSG are." We're excited about it and will get ready." "We have the belief that we can do it," Vincent Kompany pledged before bidding adieu for the evening.
