Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has sent a strong message of support to his players after their 5-4 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Dreesen said the team showed outstanding character, especially after falling 5-2 behind before fighting back to reduce the deficit to a single goal.
The Bayern chief also expressed optimism about the return leg at the Allianz Arena, insisting the spirit shown by the squad gives the club real reason to believe in a comeback.
The message from inside Bayern was clear after the final whistle: the defeat was painful, but the tie is still alive ahead of the second leg in Munich.
