Gladbach’s Adi Hütter credits Yann Sommer in “spectacular” draw with Bayern Munich

New Borussia Mönchengladbach manager Adi Hütter was happy to see his team earn a draw with Bayern Munich and credit goalkeeper Yann Sommer for his performance in between the sticks.

Hütter, though, lamented his squad’s bad luck — on another day, Bayern Munich could have been assessed two penalties.

Nevertheless, we had it in our own hands and Bayern had it chances,” said Hütter. “In the heat of the moment I saw the yellow, but maybe you understand the coach’s thoughts when you could almost have scored the winning goal. But I apologized to the fourth and to the referee, if I were to go into the dressing room now, I could already have a coffee with him.”
