FC St. Pauli

Next up for the Boys in Brown is the visit of Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday (15.30 CET). Before the encounter with a resurgent Gladbach side, head coach Alexander Blessin looked ahead to the game at the pre-match news conference.

FC St. Pauli lost 3-2 at Bayern Munich on Saturday. Harry Kane gave his side an early lead but Elias Saad levelled ten minutes later as the Boys in Brown gave as good as they got before the break. The home side dictated the proceedings in the second half, however, and a brace from Leroy Sané set them on the road to victory. Substitute Lars Ritzka pulled one back in time added on, but it came too late.

After four defeats on the bounce, FC St. Pauli earned a 1-1 draw at VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday. Siebe Van der Heyden headed the Boys in Brown just before the break, only for Mohamed to level from the spot midway through the second half.
