“The team isn’t to blame, we tried everything, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough”, said Lahm. That’s what we did. “We need a point, a win, to become German champions”.

Torres fluffed the chance to wrap up victory when he missed a late penalty as Atletico survived a late onslaught in Munich. I wanted to reach the [Champions League] final.

Ronaldo stressed he was “very happy” to be in the final of the Champions League. We are so proud of this team, it is fully deserved.
“In the second half, we did things differently, pressed them high, counter attack and we got the goal”.

“The team was very good”.
