Bayern Munich Lacked Killer Instinct Against PSG, Says Neuer
Neuer said Bayern created enough chances but lacked the finishing edge as PSG advanced 6-5 on aggregate to meet Arsenal in the final.
- On Wednesday, Bayern Munich were eliminated from the Champions League after a 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain, sealing a 6-5 aggregate defeat. The result ends their hopes of returning to the final for the first time since 2020.
- Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer bemoaned his side's lack of "killer instinct," saying "We missed the killer mentality that PSG had to score the goals." He admitted that "right now, disappointment prevails" despite creating enough chances.
- Despite Bayern scoring 175 goals this season, England captain Harry Kane's goal in the fourth added minute came too late to force extra time. The team failed to break through until stoppage time against PSG.
- Bayern coach Vincent Kompany intends to use the defeat as motivation for the remainder of the season. The club remains focused on the German Cup final after securing the Bundesliga title.
- PSG moves on to face Arsenal in the Champions League final following the victory. Bayern have not successfully navigated a two-legged semi-final since 2013, marking another missed opportunity at Europe's elite stage.
