“There is not much to say,” Schmeichel said in an emotional interview with his father Peter, a retired legendary keeper and CBS Sports broadcaster. “It is sometimes a cruel game. We did everything we could and Lady Luck was against us in the last staircase of the game. I think coming to Bayern and of course you go out, but we are disappointed about a draw. . “

Experience for many of the younger players who did not play at this level earlier. I think we are in a good place for the future. “

The UEFA Champions League Today broadcasting team also used the opportunity to thank Kasper for the consistent visit for interviews after the game with his father, where Jamie Carragher took a special preference for the father-son Dynamics.

“It has been a nice little journey to view the two of you. Hopefully I will be in a similar situation with my own son in the future,” said Carragher, whose son James plays for League One Side Wigan. “Peter, you should be really proud of Kasper, who has been fantastic … it was really fun.”
