Reactions of the players and Beyern Munich bosses after the match

Uli Hoeneß: “Chelsea didn't create a single chance, but we've still not managed to win, which is unbelievable. It's hard to put into words. If you have so many chances to wrap up a game, you have to do so. That's why we've lost this match."

Christian Nerlinger: “Everyone who saw the match knows we deserved to win. What happened is a nightmare for us. We're deeply disappointed. We created chances. It's hard to find the right words. It's a total nightmare, and the mood in the dressing room reflects that. We were clearly the better team."

Jupp Heynckes: “The team and I set out with the target of winning the trophy. But I'm well aware of how cruel football can be, and cursing your fate doesn't help. But leaving the field as losers tonight leaves a bitter taste. We simply missed too many chances. We didn't grasp the need to take our chances. Normally you wouldn't get so many opportunities against a team like Chelsea. And if you take the lead after 83 minutes, you have to see it through to the end."

Thomas Müller: “That's football. As we've seen often enough in the past, the team with the cup in their hands aren't always deserved winners. It's hard to put into words, but at the end of the day, football isn't everything."

Manuel Neuer: “We had everything in our favour. We had three match points but didn't take them. We're very, very disappointed. Taking the game as a whole, you'd never think Chelsea would come away as winners. The players are in the dressing room with their heads down right now. It's very quiet in there."

Wolfgang Niersbach (DFB president): “There's no justice in football. What's happened here is unbelievable. I'm still speechless after this match. How are we supposed to look to the future? We look back instead, and it hurts."

Joachim Löw (Germany coach): “Despite this defeat, let me congratulate Bayern on a top-class Champions League campaign. Bayern have given us some fantastic matches, especially against Madrid. They were the better team against Chelsea for 120 minutes and had the better chances. Football can be brutal sometimes."
