Despite the 1:2 (0:1) home defeat, the women of Bayern Munich are going into the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League at Paris St. Germain with a lot of confidence.
"There's no such thing as giving up.
It's about believing in yourself.
What the men have, we have also implemented: the winning gene," said coach Jens Scheuer with a view to the game in Paris' Prinzenpark next week (March 30) on DAZN.
Above all, the late goal of the strong Klara Bühl (84th) gave hope to the German soccer champions.
"The goal was important and leaves us with all options, it's not over.
I hope that we have more luck in the game, then we will definitely turn the thing around," said Scheuer: "We know that Paris is vulnerable, the way they appeared."
However, in front of the record home crowd of 13,000 spectators - including the Bayern bosses around Oliver Kahn and Herbert Hainer, coach Julian Nagelsmann and national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg - with the two goals conceded by Marie-Antoinette Katoto (19th and 71st ) "not well defended".
According to Scheuer, they "didn't look quite so happy" - primarily his insecure goalkeeper Janina Leitzig felt addressed.
Nevertheless, not only Scheuer was optimistic.
"Despite the not so good result, we see it positively," said captain Lina Magull: "A goal in Paris is definitely feasible." were at least enough for an extra time after the away goals rule no longer applies.
