Taha: This is what we have proven, and we want to qualify for the final
Bayern Munich defender Jonathan Tah spoke in a press statement following the 5-4 loss against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals at the Parc des Princes.
The player said in his interview: "It was a very strong and exciting match. True, we lost, but we were good at many points, and we proved that we are a team capable of coming back when things are not going well. Everything is still possible in the return match."
Taha touched upon some of the refereeing decisions, saying: "There were one or two fouls against us that I didn't quite understand, but in the end, we dealt with it positively, as we don't let such details stop us, and we continue playing until the end."
Regarding the impact of Kompany's absence, who was present in the stands, he explained: "I believe the coaching staff did a good job, they communicated with us continuously, even at the hotel, and provided us with all the necessary instructions, which we executed well. Ultimately, we are the ones who need to perform on the field, even if the coach is not present."
He concluded his remarks about the first leg: "It was clear that we were capable of scoring many goals. It's true that we conceded a number of goals, but the result was only 1-0, and we proved our ability to score. We will go into the second leg at Allianz Arena with full confidence, and we will give our all to reach the final."
