Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes has said his team lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final due to a mistake from goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.
Heynckes said “We are very disappointed” for not reaching the final of the competition.
Real advanced 4-3 on aggregate after winning the first leg 2-1.
According to him, “My team played an outstanding game. I haven’t seen Bayern play as well as that for years.
“At this high level you can’t make the sort of mistakes we made after half-time.”
Ulreich gifted Karim Benzema his second goal of the match one minute after the break at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, completely misjudging a back-pass from Corentin Tolisso to allow the French striker to slot the ball into an empty net.
James Rodriguez levelled things for Bayern in the 63rd minute, setting up a desperate last half-hour in which the Germans pinned Real back but despite a handful of chances failed to score the goal that would have given them an away-goals victory on aggregate.
Real will now play the winner of the clash between Liverpool and Roma in the final on May 26th at Kviv.
