💬@XabiAlonso: "We slacked off towards the end of the 1st half and even more in the 2nd half. Therefore, the draw is deserved. It was up to us that we didn't win and I'm not happy."

💬 @XabiAlonso: "Today we were only good in the first 20 minutes. We found the spaces and played simply. Then we made the biggest mistake and relaxed. That doesn't work in #Bundesliga, you have to stay serious."
