Bayern Munich midfielder Tim Borowski declared himself happy with his sides 1-1 draw against Fiorentina on Wednesday, which left the German champions poised to qualify for the next round of the UEFA Champions League.
40,000 fans packed La Viola’s Stadio Artemio Franchi, hoping for a victory for the Italian side, but were left flat after the German midfielder cancelled out Romanian striker Adrian Mutu’s early volley.
“We’ve deserved the point, and we should probably even have won it at the end,” said Borowski, who is also a Germany international.
“We never really got going in the first half, especially with our tackling.
“Instead of imposing ourselves on the game, we let Fiorentina play. That was our biggest failing.
“In the second half we overran them, we were almost different class.”
Bayern are joint top of the group on eight points with Olympique Lyon, five ahead of third place Fiorentina with only six points left to play for.
However, the Munich camp felt the display as a whole was below par and Bayern’s Dutch captain Mark van Bommel said his side need to improve their performances.
“We didn’t play well in the first half, we showed too much respect and deserved to be a goal behind,” said the Dutchman.
“After we equalised, we could have gone on and won, but we can’t be satisfied with the way we’ve played.”
