Bayern Munich were 2-0 down and out when a rarely heard voice pierced the silence in the dressing room. It was Franck Ribéry's. The Frenchman reminded his distraught teammates that their season wasn't quite finished yet.
"It was very tough. We had taken a real beating in the first half," the 32-year-old recalled in a phone conversation with ESPN FC. "We hadn't expected Juventus to press as high as they did. But we were playing at home and we still had 45 minutes, and it was important that a few of the experienced players, big characters like me, Philipp Lahm and Thomas Müller, pointed out that we could still turn this around.
