Neuer said the Bavarians didn’t have that killer instinct against the French Ligue 1 champions during the encounter at the Allianz Arena.

“We didn’t have that killer instinct in attack tonight,” Neuer said at his post-match interview after the game.
“We may not have had that many clear-cut chances, but we certainly had the opportunity to win the match. We were close to the final but couldn’t get over the line.

Speaking on CBS Sports, after PSG eliminated Bayern Munich from the Champions League semi-final stage on Wednesday night, Henry insisted that Luis Enrique’s men can ‘kill’ opponents in both ways by scoring more goals.
