Mark van Bommel - Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich were surprisingly beaten 2-0 at home by French titleholders Girondins de Bordeaux on Tuesday evening. However, holding midfielder Mark van Bommel felt that the Germans dominated the game.

“I take responsibility for the first goal - that shouldn’t have happened. We should have taken the lead, the incident with [Miroslav] Klose should have been a penalty," Van Bommel was quoted as saying by reporters.

"We reacted well and gave it our best shot in the second half. We dominated the game, but you’ve got to score. We had three or four really good chances, but it wasn’t enough.

"It’s not over yet because there are still two games to play. If we win them, we’ll be up to ten points. But it’s going to be tough.“

Bordeaux sit top of the Group A table with ten points from four games and are already through to the knockout phase. Bayern sit third with only four points and cannot afford to slip in their last two matches.
