Bayern have planted one foot in the Champions League final with a scintillating display at home to Barcelona. “It's incredible and hard to believe. We can be proud," said Arjen Robben. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was just as thrilled: “I've never experienced anything like that and I've been in the game a long time," the chairman declared. “But there are still 90 minutes to go,” warned Jupp Heynckes.
Reaction to Bayern v Barcelona:
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: “The team were fantastic. I've never experienced an evening like that, and I've been in the game a long time. We've won 4-0 against the best team in the world, it's like a dream come true. It went perfectly for us. We go to Barcelona with every chance now. The strength of this team is the performance as a collective. Barça can rarely have created so few chances. A huge compliment to every man on the team.”
Jupp Heynckes: “I think we've played exceptional football all season long. This team gets along on and off the pitch. It's fantastic teamwork. After what we've been through in the last two seasons, we're hungry for success. The team were outstanding in executing the tactical plan. That was top-class in terms of physical effort and fighting spirit. We're delighted about the victory, but there are still 90 minutes to go in Spain. We can enjoy today, but no more than that.”
