Bayern Munich manager Juergen Klinsmann rued his sides missed golden opportunity to go first in the Bundesliga on Saturday as they crashed to a 2-1 defeat at Hertha Berlin, who have now gone top instead.
With both sides aware of Hoffenheim's loss on Friday, the Old Lady took a first-half lead through Andriy Voronin, with a Miroslav Klose effort restoring parity on the hour-mark. The final 20 minutes were hard fought, but Voronin completed his brace in the 77th minute to give Hertha a well-deserved win.
"Were very disappointed, and angry about missing out on first place," lamented Klinsmann in his post-match comments, as reported by fcbayern.de
"The lads are sitting in the dressing room and saying to themselves: thats unbelievable. But thats football.
"I still think well take first place sooner or later. Well sit down now and analyse the match," he added, before offering some early insight on what caused things to go wrong.
"I think the team recognises we lacked the necessary spark to score the decisive goal ourselves and avoid inviting our opponents to hit us on the break," he explained.
Bayern will be desperate to bounce back against 1. FC Koeln next weekend.
