Former FC Bayern president (1985-1994) and honorary vice-president Dr. Fritz Scherer has passed away at the age of 85. RIP

Max Eberl: "In the first half, we didn't create many chances, but we stayed calm and knew we'd get our opportunities. It was clear that it wouldn't be easy. But then we got better into the game and scored, exactly as we had planned, down the wing with a deep run."

Josip Stanišić: "We were too sloppy up front. Unfortunately, we didn't get much out of many situations, but you could see that everyone wanted to. At the end of the day, we made two crucial mistakes in our last two Bundesliga games."

• Bayern had so many corners (14), but almost all were taken to the near post and nothing came out of them. What was the reason for that? Kompany: "No, we took corners to the near post, middle and far post. That has been very successful for us this season."

Vincent Kompany: "It was a game of two stories. There's the performance and there's the result. When we don't take 3 points, we're disappointed with the result, that's very simple. But I've been in football long enough to know that this wasn't a bad performance away from home."

Sané on his future and whether he wants to stay at Bayern: "Yes, we'll see what happens. Max Eberl has already spoken about that"

Leroy Sané: "We knew it would be difficult here. They defend very well, the [pitch] condition is not the best, they're uncomfortable to face. We tried our best and scored the first goal. Their equaliser hurt. But we have to carry on"

Thomas Müller's best minutes per goal involvement ratio has come at Union Berlin (64). In the last game at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei in April 2024, Müller scored his last Bundesliga brace, while in the 5-2 win in October 2021, he was directly involved in four goals (1G, 3A). #FCUFCB

Kimmich: "I've been here for 10 years now. I joined the club as a 20-year old. Munich became my second home. My house is here, all my 4 children were born here. I feel comfortable here and still want to achieve a lot here"

Kimmich: "The Champions League is the drive where you tell whether there's vision and belief that you can compete for the title with this coach and this team in the coming years. I absolutely see that."

Kimmich: "It was a fundamental decision for me: do I go the Thomas Müller and Philipp Lahm way or the David Alaba and Toni Kroos way and try something new."

Joshua Kimmich: "There were many reasons that made me extend my contract. We achieved a lot together in the past 10 years. We had many ups and downs. There's a certain feeling, a certain identification. We now have a coach with whom we're having a lot of fun."

Kimmich will continue to earn around the same salary as before for the next four years (around €20m/gross per year) [BILD]

Christoph Freund: "Everyone can see how passionate Joshua Kimmich is about the game and his club, every minute of the game. He leads the way as a leader, pushes forward, and provides impetus - he's a driving force that will tirelessly drive FC Bayern forward in the future"

Jan-Christian Dreesen: "We are delighted that Joshua Kimmich is continuing his career at FC Bayern. He's someone who always leads the way, whether at the club or as national team captain. His hunger is undiminished, as was evident again in the Champions League round of 16."

Max Eberl: "Mentalism and identity – that's what Joshua Kimmich stands for. He has internalized the FC Bayern DNA for years and embodies it both on and off the pitch. Where others stop, he's just getting started. We're delighted that he'll continue to lead our team."

Joshua Kimmich: "At FC Bayern, I have the best environment to achieve my sporting goals. I made my decision based on that. There's currently no better package of teammates, coaching staff, and club environment for me to achieve maximum success. I feel comfortable here, and I'm not done yet."
