Intro:

Post-match reaction from both coaches after Switzerland FC Basel beat German giants Bayern Munich 1-0 in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League match in Switzerland on Wednesday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (German)

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Henyckes:

"One must say, when one reflects on the whole of the game over the ninety minutes, one could say it would have been fair to get a draw. That said we lost one nil. I have a lot of experience in European tournaments and I have often been in similar situations and I know of course there is a second game. And we, my team FC Bayern and myself, have enough confidence that we can turn things around in the return game"

SOUNDBITE: (German)

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Henyckes:

"What is normally an awareness of ourselves as a team was just difficult tonight for the players, one could see this although, I will say it again, positioning, dedication and the element of movement were there today. But in the Champions League when one makes a mistake, that it is mercilessly punished. And we saw this with the one nil result. "

SOUNDBITE: (German)

FC Basel coach Heiko Vogel:

"My team had the serenity necessary, focus, concentration, will and a great part of pure talent, and because of all these elements we are in a position to overturn teams of the quality of Bayern Munich."

SOUNDBITE: (German)

FC Basel coach Heiko Vogel:

"And important for us was that we didn't concede any goals. That we got a goal ourselves makes everything so much nicer and of course we have shown throughout the ongoing campaign that when we're away from home we still know where the goalposts are. I think our chances haven't got worse."
