Bayern Munich fell further off the pace of the Bundesliga leaders on Friday evening as they were held to a frustrating draw against Hamburg, though Philipp Lahm doesn’t believe the 0-0 scoreline was especially catastrophic.
Head coach Louis van Gaal indicated his belief that his side should have picked up the full complement of point immediately after the game, but Germany captain Lahm has suggested getting anything from the fixture at all should be considered a minor success.
“Obviously, we wanted to come away with the three points, but HSV had a huge chance to win it at the end, so we have to be satisfied with a point. After all, HSV aren’t just any old team,” the defender told his club’s official website in the aftermath of the fixture. “Overall it was a reasonable performance, but we need more determination and precision in the final third.”
Injury-hit Bayern presently lie ninth in the Bundesliga standings, nine points behind Borussia Dortmund and Mainz, having played a game more.
