" Bayern Munich's head coach Felix Magath blames his players' inability to take advantage of good opportunities for not scoring goals, which was done much better by their opponents, ultimately determining the end of the match. Despite a turbulent ending in which the Germans managed to snatch victory in the quarter-final second leg with a score of 3-2, London club progressed to the next stage, winning the series with an aggregate score of 6-5. "We are disappointed because we didn't play worse than Chelsea," Magath told journalists. "We had opportunities to break through in the first half of the match. Unfortunately, we didn't capitalize on them." The Bundesliga-leading club started the match very actively and maintained the pace for the majority of the first half, creating chance after chance, but the ball just wouldn't get past Peter Cech. For those missed opportunities, the Bavarians were punished when Frank Lampard scored a goal with a shot from about 25 meters, after which the ball ricocheted off Bayern's defender Lucio and into Oliver Kahn's goal. The Germans continued to create opportunities, and in the 65th minute of the match, they equalized the score. Unlike the Germans, the counterattacking English team took advantage of most of their opportunities. With 10 minutes left until the end of regular time, an Ivory Coast player headed in Chelsea's second goal in the match after a cross from Joe Cole from the left side, crushing all of Bayern's hopes. "The second Chelsea goal showed everyone how strong they are," Magath said. "After that, the game was over." A late aggressive push from Bayern brought the Germans closer to extra time, but goals from Paolo Guerrero and Mehmet Scholl in the second half of extra time, respectively in the 90th and 95th minutes of the match, were a bit too late. "Of course, we are all disappointed because we could have done it. But we were the team that just didn't have luck on our side," added Magath."
