Marius Müller would have gone all-in on the penalty scene that ultimately led to the DFB Cup exit. The VfL Wolfsburg goalkeeper would have bet "house, home and children" that referee Tobias Reichel would not whistle for a penalty. But that's exactly what the referee did - and sparked a solid debate. "I mean, what should Kili do: should he cut off his arm or what?" said Müller.
Even Leipzig showed understanding for Wolfsburg's anger. "I went up to a few Wolfsburg players during the game and said sorry, at the moment they're whistling handball penalties like that. I'm a full-back myself and I know how disgusting it is when you want to block a cross," said RB Leipzig international David Raum. His team-mate Benjamin Sesko had converted the spot-kick and fired the Saxons into the semi-finals with a 1-0 lead.
