"To be honest, I didn't understand what he was doing. I think he was a bit overwhelmed himself. But at the end of the day, the referee wasn't the reason we didn't win today. We simply didn't deserve to go through. The coach told us we were close but it wasn't meant to be."
"Bayern Munich did not perform up to its potential and was eliminated by the better team. Regardless of any questionable refereeing decisions, the main factor of the game remained Bayern's failure to execute at the level required for Champions League success."
Bayern Munich defender Josip Stanišić addressed the team's 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain that resulted in elimination from the Champions League on a 6-5 aggregate score. While acknowledging referee Joao Pinheiro's questionable performance, Stanišić emphasized that refereeing was not the decisive factor in Bayern's exit. He stated the team simply did not perform at its potential and did not deserve to advance. Stanišić noted that PSG was the better team across the tie and that Bayern's goal remains winning the Champions League next season. His assessment highlighted that Bayern's own performance deficiencies, rather than external factors, determined the outcome.
