UCL: We didn’t have killer instinct in attack – Neuer knocks Bayern Munich stars

Bayern Munich goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, has criticized Vincent Kompany’s men following their elimination from the Champions League on Wednesday.

Neuer said the Bavarians didn’t have that killer instinct against the French Ligue 1 champions during the encounter at the Allianz Arena.

Ousmane Dembele and Harry Kane’s goals ensured both teams drew 1-1 in the Champions League semi-final second leg, but Luis Enrique’s men progressed to the final on a 6-5 aggregate win.

“We didn’t have that killer instinct in attack tonight,” Neuer said at his post-match interview after the game.

“We may not have had that many clear-cut chances, but we certainly had the opportunity to win the match. We were close to the final but couldn’t get over the line.

“If we’d had a key moment and scored the goal, it’s a different story. Unfortunately, our goal came a bit too late.”
