Gregor Kobel was frustrated with the late conceded goal and shared his view on the balance of play and the battle for Champions League qualification.

Gregor Kobel (in the mixed zone): "It's annoying because it was avoidable. We should have finished things off clearly beforehand or cleared the ball and let the final minute pass by. Leverkusen switched on several occasions during the game. It was never certain where the spaces were. We adjusted too. The rhythm of the game suffered as a result. As long as it (editor's note: fourth place) is not decided (Champions League qualification), we have to do everything to ensure that we play in this Champions League next year. We cannot count on anything theoretical, but must instead win our matches in order to have it in our own hands."
