Jonathan Tah could hardly find the words to describe Bayern Munich’s roller-coaster Bundesliga road match at Bayer Leverkusen, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
“It was a crazy game; you can describe it like this,” Tah concurred with ESPN sideline reporter Archie Rhind-Tutt after the match. “In the end, I’m not sure about every decision of the referee but I’m not here to complain about that, I’m here to say that we did a brilliant job as a team: to deal with difficult situations, with difficult decisions…we
kept on working hard as a team. I think this was incredible, that we go home with one point and with nine men on the pitch. It’s amazing, and I loved it.”
Tah himself was at the center of the dramatics, having been involved in a disallowed goal on either end.
“It felt funny! The second time it happened, I was like, wow, that’s crazy. But…I think that happens. I always try to do my best and defend everything, and sometimes this happens,” Tah reflected.
But the predominant emotion for the Bayern player appeared to be relief.
“I was really happy to see the guys again, to come back here. It was a nice feeling,” Tah added of his return to his former club’s grounds. “In the end, it feels good to go home, even though we didn’t win.”
