Granit Xhaka loses out against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday evening - 0:3 in the first leg of the round of 16.

In the Champions League studio, Marcel Reif denies this. The blue Sport expert says: "I like Granit, but he's wrong." There is no discussion for Reif when it comes to the penalty whistle. "You win a gold medal at the Olympic Games in freestyle wrestling with that," he says of the duel between Leverkusen's Tapsoba and Bayern's Kane.
Xhaka wants to take more risks for the second leg. The 32-year-old believes Bayer still have a tiny chance in the second leg on Tuesday. "If we take the lead, anything can happen. We won't give up," he announced.
