Leon Goretzka relives Bayern Munich’s ‘incredibly frustrating’ Champions League loss to Inter Milan

Bayern Munich’s loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League halted the club’s attempts at reaching the Finale Dahoam, named so due to Europe’s top footballing competition having been held in Munich this year. A close game saw the Italian team come out on top and end the Bavarians’ dream once and for all. Leon Goretzka started both legs of that tie. Speaking to German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, he admitted that the loss still vexed him:

“It’s brutally difficult to reach a Champions League final. That doesn’t change if the final is played in your stadium; that doesn’t make it any more likely. Nevertheless, a lot would have been possible this season,” Goretzka lamented, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “Small moments decided the outcome; as so often in recent years, the overall situation was somewhat against us at the crucial moment. We were missing key players. Things could have turned out differently. We played very well against Inter and deserved more. It’s incredibly frustrating. Nevertheless, I believe we’re on the right track.”

Next season must be the season, then.
