In the top Bundesliga game between Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach, Julian Nagelsmann saw the yellow card shortly before the final whistle. The Munich coach explained why this was justified after the final whistle.
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann received his warning in the top game against Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-1) with a “asshole question” explained. Nagelsmann reported to Sky after the game and admitted: “A legitimate yellow card.” The 35-year-old received the warning from Leroy Sané (83rd) shortly before the Munich equalizer.
In general, Nagelsmann was anything but satisfied with the performance of referee Daniel Schlager. “I was angry because we played very well”said the Bayern coach about the match result and added: “And I was also annoyed with the referee because he called all 50/50 decisions for Gladbach. Really every single one.” The Munich coach was also anything but satisfied with the distribution of the yellow cards, Bayern were cautioned five times and Gladbach saw two yellow cards. Nagelsmann also struggled with the lack of foul whistles.
Bayern Munich desperate for Yann Sommer
In the end, Nagelsmann was satisfied with the point win against Gladbach, even if Bayern failed massively due to Gladbach’s outstanding goalkeeper Yann Sommer – with 19 saves the Swiss set a new Bundesliga record. “I’m glad I managed to play a game like this”said Sommer, who had parried ball after ball with his hands and feet on the ground and in the air.
“With a lot of work, you get into a flow like this at some point”said Summer. Bayern professional Joshua Kimmich appointed him “best man on the pitch”. And Thomas Müller groaned: “We don’t know any different, that Yann Sommer always makes the best game of the year against us. He was always there for the big things.” Only once was he without a chance to defend himself, in the late 1-1 by Leroy Sané.
Gladbach coach Daniel Farke was only partially amazed by the summer show. “I never made a secret of the fact that Yann is the best goalkeeper in the league together with Manuel Neuer. For me it was a world-class performance.” And then Farke also said: “We’re all happy to have him number one in the box.”
