Reaction to Borussia Monchengladbach v Bayern:
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge:
We’re guilty of carelessness. We were comfortably in the lead and had the chances to make it three or even four. At the end of the day, we’ve only taken a point when it simply should have been three – it’s a criticism I have to make. It doesn’t mean we were arrogant, but we were a little too sure of ourselves. From the 70th minute onwards, we didn’t invest enough to wrap up the result. It’s a bad day at the office where we’ve dropped vital points. We drew 3-3 with Bochum at home, and here it’s finished 2-2. If we hadn’t dropped these four points, we’d definitely have been top of the league tonight. These are the matches we simply have to win.
Going home with only a point is extremely frustrating. We wanted to stop the gap to the top getting wider, but we’ll have to correct it next week instead.
Mark van Bommel:
I don’t think we caved in. It was two separate incidents. The first came from a corner, and the second was caused by the first. It’s always hard if your opponents pull one back when you’re away from home. We played very well until conceding the first. I don’t think we lost concentration. If you analyse the game as a whole, we were much the better team, and we’ve stupidly thrown away two points.
