Ten Hach: “As a coach, I have to improve the team and the players take responsibility”
Erik ten Hach says he is not sad that Manchester United progressed despite their Champions League exit, claiming his team played well but made mistakes that cost them.
Bayern were superior and beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford with a goal from Coman. They thus fulfilled their tasks perfectly in Champions League Group 1 and at the same time allowed the Red Devils to be eliminated from Europe.
However, according to Erik ten Hach, United were not eliminated on Tuesday (12/12), but despite good performances in the competition, they made mistakes that cost them dearly.
“I’m not sad. We didn’t make it, but we have to accept it. We have to learn from it.” We played good football in the Champions League. We have to perform well in the Premier League and return to the Champions League.
We didn’t get eliminated in this game, that’s for sure. We performed well, but also made mistakes. The results show that we don’t have enough points.
We are disappointed as a team, I am disappointed as a coach. We should have done better. Today’s performance was very good.
We didn’t deserve to lose, but we lost the game. But Bayern is also a good team. Even when they’re not in the game, they have an individual quality and just need a moment. Unfortunately, that’s what happened.
We know we want to be more consistent. As a coach, I have to improve the team, I have to lead them and the players have to take responsibility. We have to do it together.” said the Dutch coach.

“Bavaria” Penalized for fans using fireworks in the Champions League match against Sporting – 3:1
Following the repeated use of pyrotechnics in the South Stand during home matches in the UEFA Champions League, Bayern were fined €50,000 by the UEFA Disciplinary Commission and the partial closure of the Allianz Arena (sectors 111–114) for the club’s next home match in European competition. The previously imposed suspended penalty will come into force after the incident in the match against Sporting Lisbon on 9 December 2025 and will be applied in the next home match against Union Saint-Gilloise on 21 January.
As tickets are not allocated to blocks during Bayern home matches in the lower tier of the South Stand and all 9,336 tickets for blocks 109-117 are valid, the club cannot technically cancel only 4,800 tickets for blocks 111-114. Therefore, as a first step, all South Stand tickets will be canceled and the club will refund the ticket price to the relevant buyers. All South Stand tickets will therefore be void and will not entitle you to a match against Saint-Gilloise at the Allianz Arena.
Ticket cancellations will be made on Friday. 109-110 and 115-117. In case of resale of seats in the blocks, Bayern will inform you about further actions and organizational details in a timely manner.

Ukrainian goalkeeper of Benfica Lisbon Anatoly Trubin He believes his team can reach the knockout stages of the Champions League despite having just six points after six matches.
“We understand that we have put ourselves in a really bad and difficult situation with these four defeats in the first four matches. But we still think we can do it. We are still alive. It is still difficult because we will have to play with two strong teams (Juventus and Real Madrid – approx.).”
But as you said, we have a coach who has won a lot. And the last match for him was an anniversary match; 750th match of his career. So he has a lot of experience. And he knows what to do. He knows what to say to us to make us understand that we still have a chance. And we will work as one group; players, coaches, technical staff, everyone. Fans too. And together we can do this,” the goalkeeper said in an interview with On The Continent – A European Football Podcast.
