[Narration and statistics (4-3)]

The champion of the European Super Cup, who last Sunday had fallen with a crash in Hoffenheim (4-1), again suffered many difficulties against a Herta capable of lifting a 2-0 and a 3-2.

However, he was ultimately unable to do anything against Lewandowski, declared the UEFA's best player of the season on Thursday.

It was all decided in the 93rd minute, with

Maximilian Mittelstädt's

grab

on Lewandowski, who did not hesitate from 11 meters to beat

"We have seen that we are not one hundred percent," admitted Hansi Flick.

"At the moment we are missing some percentages, but what I liked is the spirit we have shown," added the coach of the Bavarian giant.

The five games in the last two weeks weighed on the plans of Flick, which gave rest to some of its best players, with physical problems or tired.
