He felt Dortmund didn't create many chances beyond their two goals. Laimer lamented the late conceded goal, saying it "obviously shouldn’t happen" to Bayern. The draw felt more positive for Dortmund than Bayern.

Source context
Konrad Laimer and Dayot Upamecano scored for Bayern Munich, who couldn’t keep a clean sheet nor secure the win as Borussia Dortmund elbowed their way to a 2-2 draw. Bayern lost three players to injury in the process—Ismael Saibari, Serge Gnabry, and Michael Olise—which Laimer said threw the team off their game. Laimer said (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). “It certainly doesn’t help you get into the rhythm of the game. I hope the injuries aren’t too serious for the boys. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they’ll be back as quickly as possible and won’t be out for too long.
