  • Bayern coach Vincent Kompany called the action extremely foolish, while Max Eberl said Tripic had achieved his aim.
  • It is great that such a player — who will probably win the Ballon d'Or someday — is teasing a boy from Oftebro and Lyngdal a little. And when I managed to divert his focus from what he does exceptionally well, he lost his composure in the end and threw the ball at my face. I have the feeling I won this duel with him.
