‘Disappointment prevails’ — Manuel Neuer speaks after Bayern Munich’s Champions League exit
FC Bayern has had an objectively impressive campaign — but let the big one slip away.
MUNICH, GERMANY - MAY 06: Manuel Neuer of FC Bayern Munich looks dejected after Ousmane Dembele of Paris Saint-Germain (not pictured) scores his team's first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Semi Final Second Leg match between FC Bayern München and Paris Saint-Germain at Football Arena Munich on May 06, 2026 in Munich, Germany.

The results sees the Bavarians go down 4-6 on aggregate, having failed to produce even a single goal at the Allianz after a season full of high-scoring hijinks.
This is a defeat that will sting Bayern players and fans for a long time — no matter how the rest of the season has gone. Bayern remains in contention for a domestic double, which is not a small feat in itself. “We deservedly won the league title.
We’re looking forward to the [DFB-Pokal] final in Berlin. But right now, disappointment prevails,” Neuer said immediately after the match in comments captured by @iMiaSanMia . The Bavarians now have just three games remaining in the season: a trip away to VfL Wolfsburg this Saturday followed by the Bundesliga finale versus FC Köln on May 16th.
Finally, Bayern will face off against VfB Stuttgart on May 23rd for the DFB-Pokal Final…before sitting at home to watch PSG defend its crown against Arsenal on May 30th in Budapest.
